Text description provided by the architects. The site is situated in Xihe Village, an unincorporated village in the mountain area that is 30km from the county town of Xin County, a National Poverty County under the administration of Xinyang City, Henan Province; it is within theDabie Mountain Revolutionary Area. On one hand, the village is rich in natural and cultural landscapes: mountains, ancient dwellings from Qin Dynasty, ancestral temples,old trees, rivers, paddy fields, and bamboo forests…etc. On the other hand, the village suffers from poor accessibility, poor economy, lack of vitality, and a growing tendency of more empty-nesters. Most of the people still living here are left-behind elders, children, and handicapped villagers.
