Finen Village is based on the rural buildings left over from the 18th and 19th centuries and carefully rebuilt a complete retro village. The entire farm is surrounded by cultivated farmland. The brick and wood houses, fences, ponds and cobblestone streets in the village, as well as the livestock and poultry in the pen, together outline a quaint and vivid rural picture. The structure and home furnishings inside the house also maintain their original appearance at that time, and tourists can experience the daily life of people in that era up close.
