8. The Bagua (Eight-Diagram) Village
Located in Zhejiang's Lanxi city, it's a quaint village whose layout resembles the famous Eight-Diagram pattern. Legend has it that it was designed by Zhuge Liang, who lived during the Three Kingdoms (AD 220-280) and is regarded as the reincarnation of wisdom by many Chinese people.
The villagers have claimed to be direct descendents of Zhuge Liang.
If you go: Visitors from outside Zhejiang province can take a plane first to Hangzhou or Quzhou - both are connected to Lanxi by intercity buses. Lanxi is also connected by expressways to Shanghai and Hangzhou. The village is 18 km west of Lanxi city. Buses running between the village and the city depart every 10 minutes. Accommodation in the village costs about 100 yuan.
