Shishangjia Scenic Area in Rongshui County

Shishangjia Scenic Area in Rongshui County is a national AAA-level tourist attraction.

Qingshanzhai Village in Xiaosang Village, Antai Township, Rongshui Miao Autonomous County, located deep within the Yuanbao Mountain National Forest Park, boasts stunning scenery and a rich Miao ethnic culture. It is famous for its wooden houses, most of which are built on exposed granite and have remained intact for over a century, earning it the name "Shishangjia" (Families on Stone). Huang Gesheng, a leading figure of the Li River Painting School, led many painters from the school to create artworks here multiple times, and in 2012, it was designated as a sketching base for the Li River Painting School. Seizing this opportunity, Rongshui Miao Autonomous County actively sought support from higher authorities and secured nearly 10 million yuan in construction project funding. In the village, projects such as a lusheng square, horse-fighting arena, viewing tower, village greening, and lane pavement were developed. The original brick-concrete residential buildings were wrapped with logs, blending seamlessly with the Miao wooden house complexes to form a cohesive village cultural landscape that preserves the original ecology and unique Miao architectural style of Qingshanzhai. Its one-of-a-kind Miao-style architectural complex enjoys international acclaim, making it one of Rongshui’s uniquely charming tourist attractions.
