Located in Qiyanqiao Township, Xixiu District, Yunshantun was built in 1381. It preserves a large amount of historical architecture. The village has displayed perfectly the Tunbao culture together with the eight villages nearby. Most local residents are pious believers of Buddhism or Taoism. Inside the city gate, a clean and quiet stone-slate street leads directly into the village. Numerous stone houses stand by both sides of the street, and most of them are three-sided courtyards, surrounded by walls and with a gateway in front, featuring its refined wood carving, stone carving and brick carving. Yunshantun Village is famous for the ancient houses, stone streets, temples and the people in traditional costume as well as deep traditional culture.

Special features: ancient houses, stone streets, temples, landscapes

How to get there: Take a bus to Pingba in downtown Anshun City located in Qiyanqiao Town, Xixiu District, and get off at Qiyanqiao Town and take a three-wheeled motorcycle to get there.
