Ourland Villages
Waterways on Shanghai’s edge, a courtyard on Chongming, and a stone village in the Taihang Mountains. Discover the settings that shape life at Ourland.
Living places
People live, work, cook and create here. Ourland works with the character of each place, bringing shared spaces and new interests into existing village life.
These villages are far apart and have different rhythms. This is an introduction to our places, not a promise that a 7-day visit includes all three. We will discuss the setting and arrangements with you as the programme takes shape.
Canals, creative spaces and everyday encounters
Near Zhujiajiao in Shanghai’s Qingpu district, Zhangma is where Ourland began its village work in 2014. Homes, studios, a teahouse and a small bar sit within an existing village.

Courtyards, shared meals and time to settle in
In Chenjia Town, Chongming, Hongtian centres on a rural courtyard and the simple pleasures of a complete day: a good meal, a walk, something to make and people to meet.

Stone houses and a mountain perspective
In Chakou Township, Pingding County, Daqian follows the slopes of the Taihang Mountains. Stone houses, lanes and courtyards hold the history of a northern Chinese mountain village.
