## About Xucun Village

“The First Village of Jinshi in Huizhou,” Xucun has the highest-ranking collection of ancient architecture in Shexian. At the village entrance, the Dazhai Ancestral Hall houses the famous Yunxi Hall stele rubbings. The village also has the Ming-dynasty Damu Ancestral Hall, the Qing-dynasty Dabobo Ancestral Hall, and Huizhou's smallest memorial archway, the Double Filial Piety Archway. Xucun's finest views are at Gaoyang Bridge, the Shuangshou Chengen Archway and the Daguan Pavilion, which line up along a single axis. Take your time here to appreciate the clever combination of bridge, archway and pavilion.
