Zhengying Village, regarded as "the first village of Yunnan," is located in Shiping County, Yunnan. It is famous for numerous cultural relics and a great deal of old wells, bridges, scriptures, monuments and trees. It also features many ancestral halls, such as Zheng Ancestral Hall, Wu Ancestral Hall and Chen Ancestral Hall.
　
Located about 10 kilometers west of Shiping County in Yunnan province, Zhengying used to be a city besieged by walls on the four sides. Fences were used as gates on four directions. A two-floor fort barbette was built on the southwest of the village. Today the walls and fort barbette are gone, but some ancestral temples are still remained.
