Introduction to Xuankong Village: Ningwu County, a mountainous, forested, strange and beautiful county, is a green pearl on the Loess Plateau. Its more than 800,000 acres of original secondary forest sea is the "king of the world" more than ten kilometers away from Dongzhai Town. "Huagou" village is hidden deep in it. Its unique geographical location and distinctive ancient buildings gradually became known and became the current "hanging village". The village is neither up nor down, standing alone on the mountainside. The village is built along the cliff. Looking up from the bottom of the valley, it looks like a castle in the air. The houses are scattered and connected, and some even have two-story attics. The villagers' cattle, sheep, and mule pens are also built on the edge of the cliff. The entire village faces the canyon, and the front half is mostly supported by wooden pillars and built suspended in the air. Widened in front and paved with wooden boards, it is the only road in the village that is less than one kilometer long, forming a rare "sky plank road" landscape. The people in "Hanging Village" are easy-going, honest and friendly. The hospitable villagers, whether they are elders who are more than seventy years old or children who are still childish, will warmly invite you to their homes and introduce you to the past and present of Wanghuagou without reservation. Oatmeal, bean noodles and potatoes are their main foods. There is a mountain spring in the village. It flows continuously, is clear and sweet, and is the only source of water in the village. The construction of houses is mostly made of stone and wood. Although the village is small, there were once three small temples: Dragon King Temple, Daxian Temple and Wudaoye Temple, which entrusted the spiritual world of the villagers to live in the mountains for a long time. The "hanging village" in the quiet valley is like the stilted buildings in the south, forming a unique picture of living in the mountains. Standing in a stone house and pavilion, leaning on the railing and looking out, you can see the sea, green waves and green fields. Every time after rain or snow, the "Hanging Village" is even more spectacular with thousands of miles of clouds and mist and a vast sea of ​​silver. On the village plank road, flocks of sheep float like white clouds from time to time, and the figures of villagers passing through the mountains and farming. In the warm sunshine under the stone house in front of the wooden wall, people gathered chatting about their daily lives. In this tranquil and natural creation, the unique warmth of the "hanging village" is formed.
