ABSTRACT

Pingtian Village is located in the northern mountainous area of Songyang County in the southwest of
Zhejiang Province, China. It was a typical hollow village since most of its villagers had been out to find
jobs elsewhere. Pingtian Village was included in the list of Chinese Traditional Villages in 2014. This
small mountainous village, which has almost been forgotten in the urbanization development, has seized
the historical opportunity of conservation and renovation of traditional villages and changed its
development direction. After several years of planning and construction, Pingtian Village revitalized
with new momentum of development.
