A 2.6-kilometer ride along Dongjiu Road from Nangang Village leads you to Jiuyuan Village, the most charming village in Beijing. It is also the village where the Mazhiyuan Former Residence is situated.
A stream flows under the old trees in front of the Mazhiyuan Former Residence. When you arrive here, you can slow down to feel the lingering charm of the verses of Mazhiyuan, a poet and playwright in the Yuan Dynasty.
