An S-shaped river runs through Chengkan, and it is artificially split into several small canals that pass every home so every one of the 700 homes in the village gets water from the river
Chengkan village has a special layout. It is in the form of eight trigrams derived from Yijing, a set of books dating back about 2,000 years that are often referred to in fortune-telling and feng shui.
The village, at the foot of Huangshan Mountain in Huangshan in East China's Anhui province, is an innovative combination of buildings and natural elements, such as water.
