Houcun is a town in Shanxi province, in northern China. It is located within the administrative area of the prefecture-level city of Yuncheng, in the southern part of the province near the border with Shaanxi and Henan.
Like many settlements in the region, Houcun is a small, largely agricultural community. The surrounding area is part of the broader Fen River valley, a historically significant region of Shanxi known for its long settlement history and its role in early Chinese civilization.
Specific details about Houcun's population, economy, and landmarks are limited in widely available sources, and the town remains relatively obscure compared to larger cities in the province.
