Explore Laixi Ancient Village in the Suburbs of Jinan - Lantou Village

📍Attraction Address: Lantou Village, located in Yanzhuang Town, Gangcheng District, Jinan City, Shandong Province, is a place full of historical charm and natural beauty. The village is named 'Lantou' because of the river that flows around it, and later renamed due to the frequent waves in the nearby Longtan River. It has a superior geographical location, bordering Beiguanzhuang to the north, Zengjiazhuang to the south, Budong Village to the east, and Nanguanzhuang to the west, and boasts a wealth of cultural heritage and natural landscapes. 🚗Attraction Transportation: It is recommended to drive there and combine visits to other nearby attractions. 👍️Must-Visit Spots: In Lantou Village, you can stroll along the quaint streets and admire the well-preserved Ming Dynasty tile houses, which bear witness to the village's long history. Especially the Wu Family's old residence, a Qing Dynasty ancient building, has been declared a municipal cultural relics protection unit in Jinan. In addition, there are several other courtyard houses in the village, among which the most distinctive are the ones owned by the three Wu brothers. The northernmost one is particularly eye-catching with its pavilion-style architecture and Guanhualou, making visitors feel as if they are in the gardens of the south.
