👍Most recommended:
The ancient village is a local characteristic alley, where local villagers set up stalls to sell various local specialties such as herbs, tea, handicrafts, and food
(Compared to other ancient villages, I personally feel that the prices are very affordable)
In the ancient village, you can experience fruit picking (picking plums: 5 yuan/person, weighing the picked fruits 10 yuan/3 jin) Next to the parking lot, you can see a stone stairway, go down and you will be by the stream, where you can camp, set up tents, and barbecue.
🍽Dining recommendation:
Local farmhouse dishes, bamboo tube rice, clay-baked chicken, Auntie's tofu pudding (a time-honored brand since 1982), fried tofu (any roadside stall is delicious), seasonal fruits like plums and loquats (super sweet)
📝Tips:
1. If you like camping, remember to bring camping equipment and enough food, and you can bring barbecue ingredients. Remember to bring an extra set of clothes for the children to change after playing in the water.
2. Both adults and children can bring slippers, as the stones in the stream are quite rough on the feet. Children can bring a fishing net. If you didn't bring one, the village also sells them, water guns, fishing nets, and hole shoes are all available at low prices!

Xitou Village is surrounded by green mountains, with a stream behind the village. There is a stone alley in the village. The alley is not wide, and there are houses on both sides, most of which are now unique small shops. The shelves inside and outside the small shops are filled with various local snacks, medicinal materials and other goods. There are many tourists, which is very lively.
