Tachuan (literally meaning “Pagoda and Creek”) Village, also called Tashang (meaning “above the pagoda”), was built align with the shape of the mountain to create a pagoda shape. The hundred-year-old folk houses were well-arranged upon the mountain, tier upon tier, making it all look like a pagoda if seen from above. Limpid creeks wind their way through the village, adding vitality to the tranquil atmosphere of the village. That’s how the village got its name with the pagoda-like houses and the creaks.
Tachuan Village boasts numerous ancient giant trees, such as Chinese tallow trees, maples and camphor tree. Many of them have grown for hundreds of years that it needs several people hand in hand together to surround the trunk. The best time to visit Tachuan village is autumn (October and November), when the tree leaves turn multi-colored, creating a gorgeous sight, attracting many visitors and photographers.
Tachuan Village is located only 2 kilometers or 30 minutes’ hike from Hongcun Village, another famous ancient village in Huangshan area.
