There are about 300 hundreds families in the village with a population of about 1200. The villagers still live in wooden Diaojiaolou houses (vernacular pillar-supported dwellings). Here you can not only experience the unique folk customs of the Miao, but also admire fantastic natural landscape. In the scenic spot, streams are crossing to each other; deep valleys, spectacular waterfalls, grand mountain ranges, ancient trees and special flowers, precious birds and animals can be seen everywhere.
