Baiyu Village

Baiyu Village

Baiyu Village is located 12 kilometers north of Zhaitang Town in Mentougou District. It is a tourist resort on the Ancient Beijing-West Road that combines sightseeing, travel, accommodation, dining, vacationing, leisure, folk entertainment, and revolutionary tradition education.

Like Lingshui Village and Cuandixia, Baiyu Village is also recognized as a historical and cultural village. Baiyu Village is also known as the hometown of traditional opera, where singing has been a longstanding custom—both adults and children can sing a few lines. During festivals, special Baiyu Yan Opera performances are held, which have been designated as a municipal-level intangible cultural heritage.
