Photo taken on July 2, 2008 shows the panorama of Cuandixia Village in the Mentougou District of Beijing, capital of China. Cuandixia Village is located on an ancient post road in the mountainous area, 90 kilometers west of downtown Beijing. First built in the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), Cuandixia Village preserves about 70 courtyard houses built with stones and wood. They sit one by one following the terrain of the slopes in a valley. Its natural environment and distinctive characters make the old post stop a popular tourism resort. (Xinhua Photo) Photo Gallery>>>
