Nestled beside Zhejiang’s stunning Qiandao Lake, Xiajiang village is rewriting its story – swapping hardship for Hollywood-worthy scenery 🌟. This 800-year-old settlement, recently featured in China’s hit film My People, My Homeland, proves that crystal-clear waters and emerald hills can be more valuable than gold.
A Cinematic Comeback 🎬
Visitors now flock to walk the same cobblestone paths where actor Fan Wei delivered his heartwarming ‘final lesson’ in the movie. But Xiajiang’s real plot twist? Using its natural beauty to create sustainable jobs through eco-tourism!
Roots Run Deep 🌳
Originally settled by migrants from Sichuan during the Song Dynasty, the village got its current name under Emperor Qianlong’s rule. Today, ancestral traditions blend with new opportunities – local homestays buzz with travelers while ancient tea-making techniques thrive.
