This chapter explores the preservation of ancient villages in China, using the example of Chao Zha Dao Yuan. It covers the historical significance, unique architecture, conflicts of interest, and the importance of preserving these villages as part of cultural inheritance.
We delve into the tales of ancient and vanishing villages, standing as quiet witnesses to the relentless march of time. Should we refrain from intervening? Should we allow the course of nature to dictate their destiny? We highlight the shared struggles they confront, and the steps that have been taken to preserve and revive these pockets of heritage amidst changing times. On the show: Heyang, Yushun & Josh Cotterill
