No. 225 Chaoyangbei Road, Chanyang District, Beijing, China

Step into the past for a weekend visiting the historic Yellow River port town of Qikou and its surrounding cave house villages in Shanxi Province near Beijing. At one time, Qikou was at the heart of China’s economy as an important Yellow Riverport and commercial hub diverting trade and cargo from water to land. While Qikou with its rich past of trade, hustle and bustle, and the hard life of men towing boats up river has all but been forgotten, the castle-like multistory courtyards with cave houses, stone-paved roads, and the ancient dragon temples remain to tell the stories of a bygone glorious time when Qikou was an active financial center.
