Home to unique ancient dwellings established during the Ming and Qing dynasties (1368-1911) along with profound cultural legacies, Nalu Village also boasts many kinds of specialty food made with conventional techniques. Included in the first batch of traditional villages under state protection in 2012, Nalu is now turning itself into a tourist attraction and a hot spot for study tours. (Xinhua/Zhou Hua)
