Guyu Village, an ancient villiage located in Lijiang's Sina county, is known for its architecture and hoof-shaped layout.

There are many maze-like lanes throughout the village. The architecture of Guyu village has unique characteristics. All newly constructed houses must be built on the other side of the river. Thus, the original style remains intact.
