## About Minjuyuan Folk Residence Garden

Whether or not you have seen the ancient villages of southern Anhui or Wuyuan, we recommend visiting for a comparison. Minjuyuan is one of only two demonstration sites in China where cultural relics were protected by relocation. Over 30 Ming and Qing dynasty buildings were moved and rebuilt here, and many are fine examples of their kind. The scenic area stages folk performances including the “She ethnic betrothal” show, the flower-rolling dragon dance, the pixiu dance, and traditional hand-made “Longyou xuan paper.”
