The ancient residences of Zhangjiata Village in Fangshan County, Shanxi Province are a testament to more than 300 years of architectural ingenuity. A unique feature of this fortress-like historic village is its network of underground corridors connecting all 36 courtyards. These passages allow residents to traverse the entire village without having to step outside the courtyard gates.
