Wuqiao Village

The administrative village containing Chenguo

Wuqiao Village belongs to Hefeng Town, Lishui District, and is a villagers' committee. The eighth batch of traditional villages of Jiangsu records Chenguo as "Chenguo, Wuqiao Village, Hefeng Town".

Overview

Wuqiao Village belongs to Hefeng Town and is a villagers' committee. The district government's administrative divisions page gives Hefeng Town six villagers' committees — Sunjiaxiang, Zhangjia, Luoshan, Shenjiashan, Wuqiao and Zhongyang — with Wuqiao fifth in the list.

Traditional villages within it

The message carried on the Nanjing municipal government website on 22 August 2025 records that 70 villages were named in the eighth batch of traditional villages of Jiangsu, two of them in Lishui District: "Shangzhuang, Shanggang Community, Honglan Subdistrict" and "Chenguo, Wuqiao Village, Hefeng Town". Chenguo entered the list in August 2025, with a notice period in July of that year.

Harmonious countryside and the event

A further source from the town government records Wuqiao Village. A report published on 21 May 2024 on the website of the Hefeng Town People's Government, Lishui District, records that the 2024 Wucunqiao Harmonious Countryside Wufan Festival theme event was held on 15 May 2024 under the guidance of the district culture and tourism bureau, the district agriculture and rural affairs bureau and the Hefeng Town People's Government; it also states that Wuqiao Village was listed among the beautiful leisure villages of China in 2022. The event took the name "Wucunqiao Harmonious Countryside", and its market was set up in Chenguo inside the village; the designations and the event are treated in that entry.

Three separate schemes of designation must be kept apart: "beautiful leisure village of China" for Wuqiao Village belongs to the agricultural and rural affairs system's recognition, "harmonious countryside" is a creation scheme launched by the Rural Work Office of the Jiangsu Provincial Committee and others, and the "traditional village of Jiangsu" and "characteristic countryside village of Jiangsu" of Chenguo each belong to the housing department and the agricultural and rural affairs lists respectively. These designations do not form a hierarchy; this library does not count them together or infer one from another.

The designation of 2022 appears in a town government report, and this library holds no published document of the competent department, so it is reproduced as the report's own wording.

Points of doubt

  • The boundaries, household count, population and origin of the name of Wuqiao Village itself are not recorded in the sources used here.
  • Chenguo and Wuqiao Village have separate entries: Chenguo as a settlement, this one as the administrative village.
  • The designation of 2022 as a beautiful leisure village of China appears only in a town government report on the event; the published document of the competent department is not held here.
