Tongli Village lies in the mountainous region of northern Zhejiang, in southern Anji. It borders Shangshu Township to the southeast and Longwang Mountain to the southwest. Endowed with unique mountain natural resources and distinctive geographical conditions, the village boasts exclusive natural and cultural landscapes. Its gorgeous scenery and profound historical heritage have made Tongli increasingly popular among visitors. Historical records document that the ancient Tongli Temple within the village and the cluster of Nantianmu Temples built over 1,000 meters above sea level were massive temple complexes that once drew countless pilgrims.

During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Chen Baxian, a native of Tongli, founded a regime in Nanjing known historically as the Chen Dynasty. His descendants held official posts through successive dynasties, hence Tongli has long been reputed as an auspicious geomantic land blessed with wealth and nobility.
