World Cultural Heritage-Baishan Historical Village
This is an example of the complete preservation of Japanese traditions. By planting mulberry trees and developing sericulture, the village has survived in this mountainous area that has been almost forgotten by human beings in the long historical process. In order to reduce the pressure of snow in cold winter, residents increased the inclination of the roof and built a unique double-decker thatched cottage with a steep slope. This kind of wooden house is generally18m long and10m wide, with 3-4 floors inside, and usually a large family lives. Because the shape of the roof is very similar to the Japanese people's hands folded when they worship God, it is called "folded palm house" or "triangular house". In addition to the significance of economic prosperity, these villages also showed the world the industrious quality and wisdom of ancient laborers in adapting to the environment and developing the economy.
