Zhongding Village

　　, sits at an altitude of 1,700 meters,

　　has 44 households, and is mainly inhabited by Tibetans and Nu people. According to the elders here, during the time French missionary Jean-Baptiste Renan was preaching in the area, Zhongding Village planted large areas of grapes. They also invited winemakers from France and Deqen specifically to establish cellars dedicated to storing wine. Records indicate that the chestnut trees here were planted in 1927 by French missionary Xavier Xu, using seeds he brought from abroad. Along the Nu River beneath Zhongding Village, there are still seven abandoned gold mines, where lamp stands used by miners can still be seen — a testament to the saying that “the mountains around Bingzhongluo are full of treasures, and the rivers flow with gold.”
