Langdai Ancient Town
Langdai Ancient Town, in Liuzhi Special District of Liupanshui City, is one of these villages where villagers still lived with traditional values of men plowing and women weaving before 1990s.It’s a modern fossil of human nature, and continuing folk customs and traditional way of life have remained the same for generations. Funeral ceremonies here are mysterious and grand affairs, with people from all 12 villages arriving to pay their respects and give tributes while the hosting village keeps a record of the gifts to return later, after which people will play music and take part in a Lusheng dance.
Langdai is now a tourism hub, with a museum that allows visitors to learn how the villages were built and what life was like for those living here hundreds of years ago, and a food street where tourists can try local dishes and snacks. It’s hoped that as more people learn of this unique culture and the Changjiaomiao people make a better income from tourism, more will happily live in their villages and keep their ancient culture alive.
