## About Zhujiayu Ancient Village

Zhujiayu is a classic northern ancient mountain village, known as the 'Number One Village of Qilu.' Unlike the carved beams and painted rafters of the ancient towns of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Zhujiayu is simple and natural: its houses, bridges and roads were built with local materials, with no trace of luxury or grandeur. Since the Ming dynasty, it has weathered more than 600 years yet still preserves its original layout of ancient bridges, roads, ancestral halls, temples, residences, schools, springs and sentry posts. Zhujiayu has nearly 200 ancient structures large and small, 99 stone bridges large and small, 66 wells and springs, and more than 100 natural scenic spots.
