This is truly amazing on so many levels. The structure, historical details, the story to this dwelling, the warmth and hospitality of the hosts certainly warm the cockles of one's heart.
I often watch your reports, often I tell myself.. I have to add this to my travel list to do in China after covid. I will return to China as much as possible.
