Azheke Village

Surrounded by cascading rice terraces and verdant greenery, over 60 "mushroom cottages" with brick walls and thatched roofs are widely regarded as the best-preserved cluster of Hani ethnic group traditional architecture in Yuanyang county, Yunnan province.

Spanning an area of 1.43 square kilometers with about 60 households, the village features a rich, diverse and layered landscape, with the coexistence of forests, water systems, houses and rice terraces.
