Lujiazhai

　　A Buyi ethnic village known for its rustic architecture, textile arts, indigo dyeing, embroidery, quaint bridges over streams, and charming homes nestled around banyan trees. It still retains one circular stone-built "Tiaohua" (flower-jumping) platform. The surrounding area is home to more than 50 ancient banyan trees, all over 600 years old. The largest of these boasts a trunk diameter of 10.5 meters, a crown covering 1,641 square meters, and a height of over 20 meters. Its roots are extensive, twisted, and intertwined, with trees growing on trees and vines coiling around trunks—like giant pythons resting beneath. Another pair of “husband-and-wife” banyans share connected roots and lush foliage, having stood together through wind and rain for centuries. They serve as a symbol for young couples to pledge lifelong love and growing old together, as well as a site where villagers worship the mountain deity to pray for favorable weather and bumper harvests. In their leisure time, locals gather under the trees for shade, and young people meet for traditional social gatherings ("Ganbiao"). The Buyi village is surrounded by tens of thousands of acres of paddy fields, which burst with the fragrance of blooming rice during golden autumn, attracting numerous visitors to admire the picturesque pastoral scenery.
