Located 11 km northeast of Yixian, Hong Village (Hongcun) is a charming village, best known as the film site of the 2000 Oscar winning film Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. 

A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Hong Village dates back to the Song Dynasty and was reportedly designed to resemble an ox.

Famous for its tranquil waters, Hong Village sits on South lake (Nan Hu), and has several other notable bodies of water, including Xi Xi (West stream) and Yue Zhao (Crescent Moon Pond).

The village is laden with historical halls and temples, and Biyuan Chalou, a four-storey tower which requires an additional RMB 10 entrance fee, offers the most noteworthy views in Hong Village.
