SoC Signature Experience: Trip to Houyuan Village in Zhejiang
Seeds of Change (SoC) is organizing our first community trip of 2021 to the mystical village of Houyuan. Nestled in between the Zhejiang mountains at the end of a winding country road, Houyuan is a relatively undisturbed and self-contained village with a pristine natural environment.
HOU YUAN VILLAGE
What SoC intends each trip participant to experience through this journey to Houyuan is the simplicity and warmth of the rural living and a glimpse of a second life outside the city. Warm communication, deep interpersonal relationships, simple and natural lifestyle.
Here, Houyuan hopes to reshape the relationship between people and nature.
