# Xiayuan

An older artist settlement with large-workspace logic and long experience of urban residents renting village houses.

## Why it belongs on the map

Xiayuan has decades of artist-settlement history and roughly 80 artist households in a widely cited 2022 report. Its appeal is practical: courtyards, workshops and social knowledge about adapting rural buildings for creative work.

The same report mentioned annual courtyard rents around RMB 60,000–70,000 at that time. Treat that as a dated example, not a present-day quote or village-wide average.

## What to inspect

Studio scale is only useful if the building is dry, insulated, safely powered and permitted for the intended activity.

- Roof and drainage
- Three-phase power or equipment load
- Winter heating
- Vehicle and delivery access
