Digang Village is located in Hefu Town, Nanxun District, Huzhou City, Zhejiang Province. It is a Chinese Historic and Cultural Village with a history of 2,500 years. Here, the world's most complete "mulberry-fish-pond system" is preserved. It is a Globally Important Agricultural Heritage site and the birthplace of Chinese sericulture and silk-weaving techniques.

In recent years, relying on its fish-and-mulberry culture, Digang Village has developed specialty snacks and cultural tourism activities, attracting visitors from across the country.

Walking into Digang Village, you will see the Grand Canal flowing through the village. On both sides of the bluestone paved paths, buildings from the Ming and Qing dynasties can still be seen in the wooden lattice windows and horse-head walls. Twenty-three ancient bridges span the interwoven waterways, linking old houses and historical sites into a "living ancient village museum".

In recent years, Digang Village has implemented water-resource management projects, revitalizing intangible cultural heritage and agricultural heritage resources, and creating a differentiated development pathway. Visitors can immerse themselves in local culture by learning to make mulberry-silkworm paper with intangible heritage artisans, or experiencing the joy of fishing at the mulberry fish ponds.
