Jiuxian Village is a famous attraction alongside the Yulong River which was built 1400 years ago. During the period of the forth year of Tang Wude to the first year of Zhenguan (621A.D.-627A.D.), this place was called Guiyi County. The most interesting and attractive view of Jiuxian Village is the ancient hamlets and folk houses, which is also the soul of the whole Yulong River scenic spot. The hamlets and folk houses are of antique beauty and on twisted paths trough twilight shades. Most of the buildings are made of blue bricks and green tiles. We should pay more attention to the entrance, for the door heads, door cases, thresholds and stepping-stones are all made of wide, thick and smooth marbles, which are of extraordinary magnificence and texture. In front of the folk houses are several pairs of stone carvings, with the auspicious design of propitious cloud, dragons and phoenixes, lions and fishes. Additionally, there are also memorial arch with the letters “Yu Gate”.
