The construction of Furong village can be traced back to Tang Dynasty (618-907). It is a large settlement of the local Chen Family. The square-shaped village features ancient architectures built from white walls and grey tiles.

There is a pond and a pavilion in Furong village. Villagers do their washing in the pond, generating ripples that break the reflection of mountains and the pavilion on the water's surface. The life here is natural and comfortable.
