Daitou Ancient Village

The ancient village of Daitou is located in the territory of Daruoyan Town. It was called Daichuan or Daigu in ancient times. The terrain slopes from west to east, and its shape is like a boat, so it is called the boat-shaped land. The ancient village of Daitou was built in the late Yuan Dynasty. It is backed by Jiuluo Mountain, with red cliffs like dyeing, and faces Wushan Mountain. It is a village with the surname Chen and has more than 1,400 people. The ancient village of Daitou is centered from the Chen's ancestral hall to Wolonggang. There are ancient buildings such as the Chen's ancestral hall, Jicui Temple, Mozhao Pond, Mozhao Shengxiang, Yuhou Temple, and Qulu. They are built on the mountain, staggered and well-structured. Especially the Huazhu Temple (also known as Luban Temple). Here you can see the profound cultural heritage of scholars learning folk customs and passing on farming and reading from generation to generation. The space formed by Huazhu Temple, Yuhou Temple and Wolonggang is free and easy, meaningful and rich in layers. The cultural landscape and natural landscape complement each other. The huge ancient camphor tree, the unique well and the elegant bamboo forest make people linger. On the opposite side of Wushan Mountain is a large forest, known as the bird-seeding forest. Legend has it that the ancestors of Daitou gave food to attract birds in order to beautify Tututong Mountain, and left bird droppings containing tree seeds. The fields at the foot of the mountain are picturesque.
