There is a mysterious village, where the only way out is by boat, and live a life of isolation.

In the deep mountains of Xiangxi, Hunan province, China, there is a place that three-faced mountain and one side surrounded by water, which is a truly isolated the Peach Garden Village. Walking here is like entering into another world, the people here are simple and industrious, and even if they are inconvenient, they still live freely. Looking far away, it's like a gift from nature.

Although the area is not large, there are still more than 20 families living here for generations. The villagers go to work at sunrise and go home at sunset.

There is a rugged mountain road in the village, but it's impossible to walk on a rainy day. So if the villagers want to go out, they can only take a boat.

According to the villagers, this is one of the birthplaces of the Tujia nationality. Their grandparents lived here, and then more and more people began to build their houses across the street and eventually turned into villages.

The scenery here is beautiful, but because it is too far away from the city and life is extremely inconvenient, many young people have left the mountain to go to live, only the older generation still stays here.

The limpid water, the ripples left behind by the boat, looks beautiful to us, and for them it is the only way to the outside world.

All their daily necessities are bought out. Most of the time are villagers' children. When they come back from the New Year’s Eve, they buy lots of items at home. The picture shows a family just bought from the outside, and is going to go home by boat.

In fact, the government has advised the villagers to move out, after all, it is too remote. But they all refused, although it is not convenient, this is their home. The picture shows the slow boat crossing the lake.

The villagers felt that if they moved away, it was really deserted, and could not see the legacy of the old ancestors in their hands. It was planned to build a bridge here, but because the project is very huge, it has not been settled. But the villagers don't think so. After all, they have been living this way for many years and have been used to it.
