Zhang Guying Village

Zhang Guying Village is located in Yueyang. This is a group of buildings connected by a big family. With the expanding of the family, the whole building was expanded too. The group building is still in good condition despite being through so many years. Its sewing system is very advanced which gains interest from many architects.

The newly discovered Zhang Guying Village is an ancient architectural cluster built over 600 years ago during the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644). It is located at the foot of Bijia Mountain in the mountainous Weidong area east of Yueyang County and is 73 kilometers (about 45 miles) from the downtown area of Yueyang City. Enjoying the fame as the 'Folk Imperial Palace' and 'First Village under the Sun', Zhang Guying Village covers an area of 50,000 square meters (about 12 acres) featuring carved pictures on surface of the building, a zigzag laneway and the occult dooryard. The architectural style imparts an air of mystery.
