What travelers say:

In Yunyang Town, Nanzhao County, Henan Province, there is a small village in the deep mountains, the iron Buddha Temple Village. The ancient village has a history of more than 400 years. Because of the local stone, the villagers' houses are made of rubble piles on the mountain. Arch bridges, stone rafts, stone mills and other stone tools are also built with stone, so there is also a "stone village". As its name suggests, the stone village is a world paved with stones. The crystal clear river flows north through the village, a stone bridge lying on the river, the old willow crowing embankment on the river bank, and the reflection of the water is interesting. The clear century-old stone house is built along the river bank according to the trend. Its original atmosphere, original ecological beauty, and beautiful landscape. Very artistic conception of Jiangnan "small bridge and flowing water family". The most amazing thing about Stone Village is the unique residential houses here. The main houses of 42 villagers are all made of dry stones carved from the mountain, without using a little mud and cement. The earliest stone houses have a history of more than 100 years, not only strong, but also warm winter and cool summer, comfortable and livable, and still live in people. The villagers' lives are also inseparable from stone, stone swells, stone plates, stone mills, stone sputum, stone sputum, stone benches, stone tables, stone basins... The living objects you can see and touch are made of stone, which is simply a natural stone museum. Stone Village is also known by experts and scholars as "a rare specimen of ancient stone houses in Central Plains". However, due to poor land and inconvenient transportation, local villagers have long lived in poverty. Since 2016, Nanzhao County has vigorously promoted "rural tourism" due to local conditions, and explored and developed various forms of rural tourism products such as local culture, agricultural civilization, and characteristic homestays, so that Shitou Village has embarked on a fast-growing road to becoming rich. With the broadcast of 2016 CCTV "Far away home - exploring the secret of the Chu Great Wall and looking for the stone village", the stone village became famous overnight. Now it is not an exaggeration to describe the stone village in Yunyang Town, Nanzhao County with the phrase "wine is not afraid of the deep alley". Many tourists come to the ancient village, they will first walk into the real scene of the CCTV "Far Home" to see this yard that has been on TV. Now every household here has developed tourism-related industries, selling tourist souvenirs, operating mountain goods specialties, opening farmhouse restaurants, and also engaged in hotels and inns, exuding a strong wheat-fragrant handmade steamed buns, bone soup made of Nanzhao special herbal tea, And celery silk, stone milled perfume oil, salted duck eggs, honey have become tourists to buy "fragrant".
