About Gaoyi Ancient Village
Its lanes and domestic buildings reveal a settlement shaped by family lineages and farming, while local ritual theatre adds an intangible cultural layer. The value lies in the continuing relationship between residents and buildings, not just their age. Walk the public routes, ask before entering homes or photographing residents closely, and treat any performance as a separately arranged event.
What to look for
- The older domestic buildings and lane pattern within the living village.
- The relationship between the Wu River, fields and surrounding hills.
