Although Douzhuang lost its walls, it’s still a fascinating village to visit in this hidden part of southern Shanxi’s countryside. It does not have this fortified village feel that Xiangyu (相峪堡) has, but the sheer size of the courtyard stone gates and the amount of carving found every where in the village makes Douzhuang a gem of rural exploration.
