Apa yang dijangka di Kampung Zhoucheng

The entire village is in a square shape with row upon row of houses well preserved with blue-tile roves and grey-coated walls row in lines orderly like a comb. Zhoucheng village has long been enjoying the fame as ‘Hometown of Tie-dyeing Art’, which originated from the central plains area in ancient China over 1,000 tahun yang lalu. The process of tie-dyeing is quite sophisticated and time-consuming. Firstly, soak the knots into clear water; secondly, immerse them in the dye vat for some time; thirdly, take them out to dry. Akhirnya, put the dry knot back again in the dye vat and repeat the process until a satisfactory color is achieved. Get a chance to venture into a workshop to experience the hands-on learning class of tie-dying from a sophisticated craftsman. The tie-dying cloth finished on your own could be brought home as a souvenir.

The compact slabstones, meandering spring water, buildings with black tiles and white walls, and architecture with stone walls, generate a sense of tranquility and simplicity in you all at once. Like many other villages of the Bai ethnic group, Zhoucheng Village has its own icon. Two local temples are in sight one enshrines Du Chaoxuan, a hero killing boa, the other is consecrates Zhaomu Langgang, the primogenitor of Zhoucheng Village.
