Journey back to the Yuan Dynasty. Imagine a bustling village known as Cai Village, right here in the heart of what is now Nancaicun Town. This wasn’t always Nancaicun. The area’s destiny was forever altered when the Grand Canal was renovated. This vital waterway sliced through Cai Village, dividing it into North and South. This division gave birth to Nancaicun, the “Southern Cai Village,” a name it carries to this day. Nancaicun Town is located in Shunyi District, Beijing. In 2020, over 73,000 people called this place home. This town is more than just a name on a map. It’s a testament to the enduring power of history, a place where the past whispers through the present. Nancaicun stands as a quiet reminder of how even the grandest of projects, like the Grand Canal, can reshape the lives and landscapes of ordinary people.
