Tuole Tourist Village

　　Nestled among more than 1,150 ancient ginkgo trees and home to nearly a hundred households, the village features a highly distinctive house layout — small, sloping-roof houses with dark grey tiles, arranged in neat, densely packed rows running from west to east along the mountainside. The houses are built very close to each other in a grid-like formation. This layout, which adapts to the terrain, preserves the forest, conserves land use, and integrates with local agricultural production, offers valuable lessons even today. To the east of the village, a small stream meanders through, crossed by a bridge adorned with ginkgo tree roots. The surrounding area is dotted with farmsteads, creating a picturesque scene of “a small bridge, flowing water, and rustic homes.”
