Daitou Ancient Village is located within the territory of Daruoyan Town. Anciently known as Dai Chuan or Dai Gu, the terrain slopes from west to east, resembling a ship, hence it is called the ship-shaped land.
Daitou Ancient Village was built in the late Yuan Dynasty. It is backed by Jiuluo Mountain with its cliffs dyed like cinnabar and faces Wu Mountain with its lush and elegant greenery. It is a village where the Chen family resides, with a current population of over 1400 people.
The central area of Daitou Ancient Village, from the Chen Family’s Ancestral Hall to Wo Long Gang, is home to ancient buildings such as the Chen Family Ancestral Hall, Jicui Hall, Mozhao Pond, Mozhao Shengxiang, Yuhou Hall, and Qu Lu. All these buildings are built against the mountain with a well-arranged and distinct hierarchical layout. Particularly notable is the Huazhu Hall (also known as Luban Hall). Here, one can witness the profound cultural heritage of scholarly customs, folkways, and the tradition of farming and reading.
The space formed by Huazhu Hall, Yuhou Hall, and Wo Long Gang is free and elegant, with rich layers. Cultural landscapes and natural landscapes complement each other. The huge ancient camphor trees, unique wells, and graceful bamboo groves are captivating and memorable.
Opposite, on Wu Mountain, there is a vast forest known as the bird-sown forest. It is said that the ancestors of Daitou beautified the barren mountain by scattering rice to attract birds, which left bird droppings containing tree seeds that developed into this forest.Below the mountain, the fields are picturesque.
