Ancient Tunbao Villages

Ancient Tunbao Villages
        The village is situated in Yunshan Tun within the Yunjiu Mountain Gorge of Qiyanjiao Town, Qiyanjiao, Anshun City. The Tunbao people are descendants of Jiangnan (southern Yangtze River region) soldiers who were stationed here 600 years ago to farm and guard Anshun. Their villages are built along the mountains with crisscrossing streets and alleys. Each cluster of buildings and watchtowers forms a small courtyard. Shooting holes are set in the watchtowers or walls, integrating defense and residence. Though the ancient Tunbao villages may appear rugged on the outside, their interiors are exquisitely decorated. Elements such as hanging flower gates, lattice windows and doors, and column bases showcase the pinnacle of Jiangnan wood and stone carving artistry, making them highly worthwhile to admire.  Transportation
