Xinye Ancient Village is located in Lanxi City, Zhejiang Province, and is an underestimated niche ancient village.

The village is not large, with a clear pond in the center, where you can row a boat and enjoy the tranquil rural scenery. Unlike other ancient towns and villages with a high degree of commercialization, Xinye Ancient Village has not been overly commercialized and still maintains a simple rural life.
