老院子

The traditional architecture of Laoyuanzi displays a collection of wooden buildings with stone foundations set against the mountains of Zhangjiajie National Forest Park.

Dating back to the Qing Dynasty, Laoyuanzi preserves the architectural elements of local Tujia minority settlements that developed along the ancient trading routes.

The site demonstrates traditional Tujia construction methods, featuring elevated wooden platforms, interlocking beam systems, and decorative roof elements specific to Hunan Province.

Visitors can reach Laoyuanzi through dedicated shuttle buses from Zhangjiajie city center, with guided tours available in multiple languages throughout the day.

The complex incorporates natural spring water systems that flow through stone channels, supporting the traditional agricultural practices still maintained on site.
