The village is surrounded by enchanting scenery the whole year round. In spring, the ribbon-like terraces are covered with golden rape flowers, hailed by netizens as one of the top 10 most beautiful terraces in the world. In summer, the towering old trees, stone-paved paths and winding creeks drive away the summer heat. Every autumn, the flaming maple leaves and harvested crops on roofs constitute a spectacle for the village, while it also enjoys enormous natural beauty with white snow in winter.
