Han Cunhe Village

Han Cunhe Village

Han Cunhe Town is one of the 33 central towns in Beijing, covering an area of 112 square kilometers, with jurisdiction over 27 administrative villages and a population of 39,000. It is a well-known construction hub in the suburbs of Beijing.

In 2013, it was awarded several honors, including being selected as one of the Ministry of Agriculture’s Top Ten Model Patterns for Beautiful Countryside Creation, a National Agricultural Tourism Demonstration Site, a National AAA-level Tourist Attraction, a National Civilized Village Demonstration Site, one of China’s Top Ten Famous Villages, and a National Eco-Cultural Village.

As a typical example of rural development in the suburbs of a city, the approach taken by Han Cunhe Village has drawn considerable attention. Driving southwest from the center of Beijing on the highway for about an hour brings you to Han Cunhe Village. The continuous rows of houses are neatly arranged, and in the village center stands a watchtower (about 20 meters high) offering a panoramic view of the entire village, along with various monuments including a 50-ton giant tripod. The residential buildings come in three unified styles—Chinese, European, and American—all enclosed by high walls.
