Xiashan has been the throat from western Zhejiang to Anhui and Chun'an since ancient times. There is a ten-mile Tang and Song Dynasty ancient post road in the territory from Shichuangling to Zhujiadu. After the Southern Song Dynasty, it became a timber distribution center and a famous big port. It became increasingly prosperous and formed a large village that fanned out in all directions, relying on the ancient commercial port and ancient post roads.

 

Xiashan Village has 212 buildings from the Ming and Qing dynasties and the Republic of China, of which 108 are intact. The architectural style is mostly an Indian-style Hui style structure, with white walls and black tiles, horse heads and horns, and is well-proportioned. The gate tower and door lintels are decorated with brick carvings and murals, and the lattice windows are all exquisitely decorated.
