Zhuyuan Village

　　Zhuyuan Village is situated in Dabugang Town at the southern foot of Shaowu City, nestled at the foot of the scenic Daofeng Mountain. To the east it neighbors Zhangcuo, while the southwest borders the two counties of Taining and Jiangle. To the north it is adjacent to the suburban area of the city. It lies 34 kilometers from downtown Shaowu and 5 kilometers from the Heping interchange of the Fuyin Expressway, in close proximity to 4A-level scenic spots such as Heping Ancient Town and Tiancheng Qixia. The village covers an area of 16.26 square kilometers, with over 400 households and around 1,500 residents. It comprises 8 natural villages and 12 villager groups.

　　Backed by Daofeng Mountain, Zhuyuan Village benefits from the mountain’s profound history and breathtaking scenery. Daofeng Mountain is the only historically named mountain within Shaowu City that was bestowed its name by imperial decree. With an elevation of 1,487 meters, it is known as the “Five-Terrace Wonderland.” The continuous mountain ranges, shaped by nature’s masterful craftsmanship, feature 36 scenic spots, each captivating in its own way, making it a much-coveted destination for travelers.

　　At the entrance of Zhuyuan Village lies a Fengshui forest spanning over 20 acres, adding a rich touch of mystique to the spiritual aura of Daofeng Mountain. This forest is home to more than 100 ancient trees over a thousand years old, including metasequoia, camphor trees, pines, and castanopsis. During the construction of the beautiful countryside, observation pools, cascading waterfalls, and ancient post roads were added, forming a picturesque scene where ancient trees embrace crystal-clear pools, and the pools lead the way to quaint homes.

　　On the main street of Zhuyuan Village stands an idle two-story building constructed in the 1960s, located in the northeast direction and facing south. Covering an area of over 160 square meters, the earthen-walled structure is covered with lush green ivy, exuding a unique sense of time. It has now been transformed into a “Nostalgia Museum,” and also serves as the “Fujian Democratic League Calligraphy and Painting Academy Creative Base” as well as the Shaowu Local Genealogy Museum, providing a platform for people to “reminisce about nostalgia and share hometown sentiments.”
