Coconut Grove Ancient Village

Coconut Grove Ancient Village

• A Li and Miao ethnic village rich in folk activities, where you can admire Li brocade and Miao silverware, as well as sample local specialties.

Attraction Introduction

Coconut Grove Ancient Village is a settlement inhabited by both the Li and Miao ethnic groups, making it a great place to experience traditional Li and Miao culture.

The architecture within the scenic area includes both Li-style pyramid houses, boat-roofed houses, and stilt huts, as well as Miao-style stilted buildings. The residents here actively showcase the cultural customs of the Li and Miao peoples. Under the shade shelters, elderly women weave Li brocade, while near the grain storage sheds, elders craft bamboo baskets. Here, you can also get an up-close look at Miao shamanistic culture and try the uniquely flavored cuisine of the Li and Miao peoples. There are also many grandmothers and young women displaying handmade silver ornaments—their silverware is mostly exquisitely crafted but tends to be on the pricier side, so choose wisely when purchasing.

The Li and Miao people are known for their singing and dancing. If you visit Coconut Grove Ancient Village during the March 3rd festival, the atmosphere becomes even more vibrant and lively with performances.

Special Tips

There are many grandmothers and young women selling handmade silverware within the scenic area, and their initial asking prices are generally quite high. It is recommended to carefully assess the value and make your choices wisely.
