About the Game
Welcome to Taoyuan Village to heal your loneliness.
Here, you can lead a carefree, self-sufficient life: farm, tame animals, raise livestock, fish, and build a prosperous homestead.
Or, immerse in village life, meet kindred spirits, find love, and influence their destinies with your choices.
Whether it's the labor you put in or the relationships you cultivate, every drop of sweat you shed will bear fruit. In Taoyuan Village, no effort goes unrewarded.
There are nine major occupations: farming, forestry, animal husbandry, fishing, tailoring, cooking, construction, mining, or martial arts. Which one do you want to excel in?
Upgrade your house, furnish it with decorations, and create your ideal countryside compound. "Where the heart finds peace is home."
Befriend wild creatures—train them as assistants or keep them as companions. The world may be frayed, but little paws mend it stitch by stitch. (And yes, those with hooves or wings count too!)
The villagers may be few, but each has a past, a story, and their own flaws and virtues—just like real people. Treat them with sincerity, and their attitudes toward you will change. You might even alter the course of their lives.
Experience vibrant festivals—Spring Festival, Qingming, Dragon Boat, Mid-Autumn—along with grand Chinese-style weddings . Immerse yourself in the most traditional Chinese flavor.
