网上介绍:"城子村是最具特色的土掌房建筑的村寨,全村一千多间土掌房，前后相衔，左右毗连，数百户人家的房屋结为一体。整个村子依山而建的房屋，远远看去像是一盘“蜂巢”。不少人家的屋顶就是上面一户人家的平台和晾晒谷物的场院。天井中立一架木梯，上房顶即可到其他人家。由于上下有木梯相通，户户有平台相连，只要进入一家，就可从平台进入另一户人家，直至走通全村人家，因而整个村子曲径通达，宛若迷宫；再次是这个村子民风纯朴，人心善良，凡见生人，村民都主动热情招呼，盛情邀请到自己家吃饭。" 的确，当我们在村中行走时，不时会碰到一些村民邀请我们到他们家坐坐或吃午餐。城子村已列为观光景点，民风还能保有一份热情与淳朴，实属难得。

In Chengzi Village, the 1000+ houses were all built by the hillside and look like a giant honeycomb from far. The key characteristic of its architecture is that all houses (made of clay) are not only built side by side, they are stacking on one another. As such, the rooftop of one family becomes the courtyard of another family on the upper level to dry their hay or corns. All families of the same level share the same stretch of courtyard in front of their houses. To go from one level to another, one just needs to find the big hole in one part of the courtyard and ascend/descend using the wooden ladder. Due to this unique architectural design, once you manage to get into one house, you can literally gain access to all the houses in the whole village. Despite being one of the famous historical sites that attract tourists, the villagers still lead a simple life and are very hospitable to visitors. Some even invited us for lunch with their family!
