Daheyan Folk Village

　　Daheyan Folk Village is situated deep in the Taklamakan Desert, approximately 250 kilometers north of Yutian County’s county seat, within Dalibayi Township, Yutian County. The residents of Daheyan Village have long led an isolated life, largely cut off from the outside world. It was not until recent times, with the arrival of domestic and international desert explorers, that the area’s conditions were exposed to both domestic and international audiences.

　　This village is classified as a distinctive folk village. The houses are scattered sparsely across the vast oasis area, characterized by a high degree of dispersion. Most houses use populus euphratica wood as supports, with walls woven from red willow branches. There is little to no furniture inside—beds are formed by piling up higher mounds of sand and covering them with carpets. The diet mainly consists of meat, supplemented by flatbread, with no vegetables. The residents are ethnic Uyghurs who speak with certain dialect features, making this one of the most distinct residential tribes among the Uyghur people.
