Daoning Basin, located in the south of Hunan, is a typical Shan Yan basin, surrounded by high mountains, and it is inconvenient to communicate with foreign countries. It has a warm subtropical monsoon climate, flat terrain and fertile land. Today, there are as many as 500 ancient villages. In the era when many ancient villages were demolished and built, many ancient villages are still intact.

Unlike the famous ancient villages in Xiangxi, Hunan, which develop tourism, most of the ancient villages here are unknown and few outsiders come to visit and study. Most local houses adopt the practice of high roof, large depth and many patios to adapt to the local climate. There are reservoirs and plants in the sky, and there are open ditches and underground ditches in front of the village, which form an air circulation system with the corridor and are the "hub" to improve the living microclimate.
