One of the most beautiful ancient villages in Shandong, every family lives in bamboo forests, such as Xanadu.

Due to the climate difference between the south and the north of China, the appearance of many villages is also very different. It is generally believed that there is much water and humidity in the south, and the appearance of the village is more beautiful, while the ancient villages in the north are mostly famous for their majestic atmosphere. However, there is such an ancient village in Yimeng Mountain area of Shandong Province. The village is full of bamboo forests and springs, and it is also rated as one of the most beautiful ancient villages in Shandong.

Bamboo spring village, located in yinan county, Linyi City, has become an "Internet celebrity village" because of its unique environment. Many young people will come here to punch in and refresh their understanding of ancient villages in Shandong. Bamboo spring village has a history of more than 400 years. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Gao Mingwa, the cousin of Gao Mingheng, the governor of Henan Province, moved here, and later gradually developed into a village with a high proportion of people.

The whole village is surrounded by bamboo forests, which is really rare in the north. But at first there was no bamboo here, but there was a clear spring. The name of the village is not bamboo spring village, but Shangquan Village. About 300 years ago, someone in the village was an official in Lu 'an, Anhui. He liked the local bamboo very much and took it back to the village. I didn't expect bamboo to settle down here and breed a large bamboo forest, so he changed his name to "bamboo spring village".

The path in the village is very narrow, and there is a dense bamboo forest beside the road. There is also a stream beside it. The water quality is clear and continuous all year round. Bamboo and spring are worthy of the name. Bamboo spring village is the most suitable place for summer vacation. Green bamboo forests and cold springs are their own summer resorts.

Zheng Banqiao, one of the Eight Eccentrics in Yangzhou in Qing Dynasty, loved writing and painting bamboo all his life. He has been to bamboo spring village twice. Zheng Banqiao used to be the magistrate of Weifang County, which is now Weifang City, not too far from yinan county. Zheng Banqiao first came to bamboo spring village in the 13th year of Qianlong (1748). At that time, Emperor Qianlong visited Shandong, and Zheng Banqiao participated in the reception work as a history of calligraphy and painting, passing by bamboo spring village, but he had no time to visit because of his official duties. The second time was in the 18th year of Qianlong (1753). Zheng Banqiao resigned and returned to his hometown in Yangzhou. He lived in bamboo spring village for a few days and wrote the word "bamboo spring village" at the request of an expert.

The houses in bamboo spring village are also very distinctive, because the village is located in the mountainous area and is rocky. Villagers use local materials to build houses, most of which are made of stone. They look antique and traditional, but they are particularly powerful. Now the village is developing tourism, and almost every household is engaged in tourism-related business, whether it is opening homestay farmhouses, farmhouse restaurants or selling local local products, the business is booming and tourists are constantly coming.

Wooden plank roads have been built among large bamboo forests for tourists to visit. Such a large-scale bamboo forest is rare in the northern region. Walking along the plank road in the bamboo forest, not far away are Fumafu and Zhuquan.

Just next to the bamboo forest, there is also a "Fu Ma Fu" with a long history. In the Ming dynasty, there was a constant palace in Qingzhou city. Wang Ye's daughter is a princess, and people usually call her a princess. In the Ming Dynasty, the princess's husband was called Yibin, also known as "Ma Xu". In fact, the mansion is the guest house. A young man named Gao in bamboo spring village was once chosen as the guest house of Hengwangfu, which became an unprecedented event in the village. Today's Sima family was rebuilt on the original site.

The bamboo spring next to Fumafu is the most important scenic spot in the village, hence its name. The spring water is extremely clear, and the water flows continuously all year round, so it can be directly drunk.

There are many folk performances in bamboo spring village, and the most distinctive one is the local wedding customs. The "wedding car" in the village is a unicycle. The groom pushed the bride around the village and the band played cheerful music. Then they got married in a new house built of stone.
