Nestled in a valley 90 km (56 mi) west of Beijing and overlooked by towering peaks is Cuandixia Village (often mistaken called Chuandixia Village), a gorgeous cluster of historic courtyard homes with old-world charm.

爨字念cuàn,1958年简化后改爨为川。位于北京市门头沟区斋堂镇,国家级文物保护单位。相传该村祖先于明朝永乐年间从山西迁移至此,建立韩氏家族聚居之地。这里是北­京通往陕、晋和口外的要塞,繁华一时;这里曾是兵家必争之地。经历了数百年沧桑巨变的爨底下村,依旧保持了居民原始的风貌 ――明清古居。入选中国历史文化名村(第一批)名单。
