This village was built in the Ming Dynasty and has a history of thousands of years. The villagers here are all surnamed Chen. The whole village is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and there are many houses. The name of the village comes from the Millennium Yaxi River passing through here, which is really unique.
Walking from the entrance of the scenic spot, you can see a very wide square. The whole Yaxi ancient village is divided into four boards: the colorful entrance pastoral area, the ancient rhyme village viewing area, the Hakka cultural experience area and the rice field amusement area.
When you enter here, you will stop in a hurry to find that rare quiet moment. It turns out that life really doesn't have to be heavy, and slowing down is the true meaning of life.
Being here is like being in heaven. This ancient village, thousands of years of ups and downs, and generations of meticulous work are all hidden in this deep enclosure.

In the ancient village, you can taste all kinds of Hakka specialties, such as glutinous rice steamed with sesame sauce, which is soft, crisp and delicious. Tired, you can also drink a bowl of tea to taste traditional food, or come to the pub for a sweet Hakka rice wine.
No matter how the years change, no matter how the dynasties change, no matter how the clouds roll, no matter how the flowers bloom and fall, the ancient villages are quiet and comfortable, and the villagers just live their own light and elegant lives.
