The mysterious village at the foot of the Great Wall: it turned out to be built by Americans, and there were couples who spent 100 million to stay

The Great Wall, since ancient times, has been a fortress for China to defend against foreign enemies.

However, the ancestors certainly did not expect that today,

The Great Wall has become a mere attraction.

I wouldn't have thought that one day,

There are foreigners who build houses at the foot of the Great Wall,

And it was built for more than 10 years,

One building is 40.

Sayan, American,

After graduation, he came to China to work hard.

By chance,

He came to the Great Wall.

No doubt

Like most foreigners, he only glanced at it.

I was deeply attracted by the magnificence of the Great Wall,

It will not be forgotten for a long time.

So when Sayan was nearly fifty years old,

He decided to bring up retirement,

With his Chinese wife,

Came to settle in a small mountain village at the foot of the Great Wall.

When I first arrived,

The farmhouses in the village are very dilapidated,

Even normal life is greatly affected.

But in Sayan's eyes,

But what you see is a pleasant scene,

Fresh natural breath,

Pure natural food,

And the magnificent Great Wall that you can see when you look up.

​

At that moment, the American made up his mind,

I have to live here until I die.

So he rented a few farmhouses for a long time,

A major renovation of the house began.

While retaining Chinese characteristics,

It also incorporates Western culture.

And in order to live comfortably in old age,

He also considered many details,

Reduce the steps

All places are wheelchair accessible,

Even a wheelchair bather.......

The biggest feature of the whole house

There are a lot of windows,

You can see the Great Wall around 360 degrees.

With the demolition of Sayan's farmhouse,

He became a celebrity among the villagers,

The media also smelled the wind,

More and more people are looking for him to renovate his house.

The "Eagle's Nest"

The pigsty was converted into a small three-story bungalow

Old peasant houses were converted into retro villas

Nordic mansion with fireplace

And in the transformation of Sayan,

The most famous is the Wafang Hotel.

It was originally one

Abandoned brickyards in the 1960s,

Very dilapidated.

But Sayan did not tear down and rebuild,

Instead, traces of the brickyard are preserved.

It was even re-added

Glazed tile elements from old tile factories.

Colorful tiles

Be bold and creative, design carefully.

The tile kiln room has been made into a DVD screening room, a game room, etc.,

Several red brick arched doors are connected in series

The porch that connects the rooms is very atmospheric.

This brickyard hotel

It took 5 years before and after,

It took 100 million yuan to finally complete.

The current owners are a Chinese couple.

Sharp-eyed friends should have already discovered,

No matter how fancy these houses are inside,

From the outside, it looks like a Chinese-style building.

In fact, this is also the principle of Sayan's transformation,

No matter what, looking down from the Great Wall,

All are Chinese architecture.

Now

With the increasing number of houses remodeled by Sayan,

This beigou village, which was not well known in the past,

It has become the "Great Wall International Village" in people's mouths.

More and more foreign tourists come here for vacation,

There are even rich people dedicated

Rent a house here,

Let Sayan transform.

Former Mrs. Michelle of the United States

When I came to China,

Didn't go to a 5 star hotel,

Instead, I came here to rest.

This change also allows

The life of the local villagers is getting better and better.

Not only many young adults have returned to the village to work,

Even the older generation can be re-employed.

48-year-old Song Cuihong,

Was once a housewife in the village,

Now he is a well-known Western chef in the suburbs of Beijing.

Wang Yi, who used to be a builder

And Li Fengquan, who has grown vegetables for half a lifetime,

Although he is in his 60s, he has changed.

Became the civil captain, respectively,

Head of Green Horticulture.

Seniors over 70 years old,

In the village, you can also go to the special canteen,

Two meals a day are provided free of charge.

It has realized that the old have some support and the old have dependence.

Sayan is very pleased in the face of this situation,

He said: "China is my real hometown.

Be able to have the opportunity to participate in China's rural construction,

For my whole life,

It's the best thing to do. ”

Building a village well and improving the quality of the villagers together may be the most important thing we should do under the internal circulation system, and it is also the most difficult to do! Thank you for setting an example!
