The film starring Zhang Ziyi made this antique mountain village famous, and tourists called it "terraced fields on the clouds"

Azheke Village, with a history of 160 years, is located in Xinjie Town, Yuanyang County, Honghe Hani and Yi Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province. Honghe Hani Terrace is located in the core area of Yuanyang, a world cultural heritage, with an altitude of 1.800 meters, which is shrouded in mist all the year round. Below the village are terraced fields descending from the mountains. Tourists like to call Azek "a terraced family on the cloud".

Azhek Village is one of the five key villages in Hani Terrace Heritage Area. Experts believe that more than 60 mushroom houses with thatched roofs in this village are the best preserved traditional Hani buildings in Yuanyang County.

In the movie Don't Ask the West, Wang, played by Huang Xiaoming and Zhang Ziyi, returned to the "hometown" of Azek village. Later, Azek Village became a punching place for network celebrities, with about 20,000 people coming here every year.

Traditional villages are engraved with the long history and cultural memory of the nation, and have a strong homesickness. In the early morning, Azeke Village, Xinjie Town, Yuanyang County was shrouded in mist, and the mushroom house was looming in the sea of clouds. Mossy stone walls and towering trees washed by dew are like a landscape painting.

Azheke village in Yunnan is located in the mountains. The village is quiet and simple, just like a paradise.

Work at sunrise, rest at sunset, and make a living by farming terraces ... There are more than 60 Hani families living here, which is one of the most intact traditional Hani villages. It was included in the third batch of traditional villages in China in 20 14.

In recent years, while developing eco-tourism, Yuanyang County has met the villagers' growing demand for production and life by keeping the original site unchanged, repairing old houses as before, and promoting them internally, thus truly realizing the protection of cultural heritage and the sustainable development of tourism.

With the acceleration of modernization, there are fewer and fewer ancient mushroom houses and more and more cement buildings in Azheke village. In order to protect local traditional villages, encourage young migrant workers to return home to start businesses and keep homesickness, the government and relevant departments help villagers repair traditional mushroom houses, improve their living environment and develop rural tourism.

The transformation of traditional villages should not only protect the original features of villages, but also protect the villagers' recognition of national culture. At the beginning of the transformation, some farmers refused to repair it, and some farmers also removed the hanging wooden beams as firewood.

Now, in Azheke village, the mushroom house with unique Hani characteristics has been restored, the stone road into the village is smooth, the villagers' homes are clean and tidy, and the Tongcun highway and parking lot have been built. This village once again shows its style and characteristics, and more tourists come here every day.

"Azek" literally means the most prosperous and auspicious little place. This mushroom house is a traditional residence of Hani people in Azhek village, and it is also one of the five world heritages in Honghe Hani heritage area.

The traditional architectural style of Azheke village, the traditional concept of reverence and worship for nature, and the harmonious living environment formed by nature and human landscape reflect the cohesion, hard work and tenacious spirit of Hani traditional settlement architecture.

There are 6/kloc-0 farmers in the village, and the rural population is 396.

On 20 19,10, 13, Azheke Village was selected into the public list of beautiful leisure villages in China on 20 19. 20 19 12 3 1 was named as the third batch of "ethnic minority villages in China" by the State Ethnic Affairs Commission.

Azek Village is located in the core area of the world cultural heritage of Hani Terrace in Honghe. The green hills, terraces and mushroom houses in Azek village are valuable tourism resources, but they have not brought a good life to the villagers. It is difficult for villagers to get rich by traditional livelihood. About half of the young and middle-aged laborers in Azheke village work outside the home, and some villagers rent traditional houses to foreign operators and move out of the village themselves.

It is understood that a tourism company has been established in Azhek Village. The villagers signed an agreement to transfer the village's tourism management right to the company, so that the company can achieve more professional management. 30% of rural tourism development income belongs to the village collective tourism company, which is used for the daily operation of the company, and 70% belongs to the villagers.

In order to encourage the villagers to protect the traditional houses and terraces in the village and preserve the core cultural landscape of Arek village, the villagers' dividend rules stipulate that the villagers' dividend will be implemented in four parts, 40% for traditional houses, 30% for terraces, 20% for residence and 10% for household registration. For example, the villagers did not protect the mushroom house, so the dividends of the residential protection part could not be distributed; If the terraced fields are destroyed, the dividends of the terraced fields will not be separated.

Villagers are responsible for the normal maintenance of terraces in scenic spots, planting, managing and harvesting according to seasons; The collapsed terraces should be maintained in time to maintain the original landscape of terraces; Terraces shall not be abandoned at will.

With the implementation of "Zhe Ke Plan", the villagers' enthusiasm for developing tourism is rising, and their enthusiasm for participating in tourism reception is getting higher and higher. A few years ago, some villagers chose to go out to work, and now the village has begun to develop the tourism industry. They have returned to their hometowns to become staff members of tourism companies, earning 2,400 yuan a month. In addition, their family also opened a farmhouse. Villagers' participation in cleaning up garbage and building beautiful countryside has gradually become a conscious behavior.
