## About Nanhua Miao Village

Relatively far removed from commercialization, this original, ecologically intact Miao village is built into the hillside and hidden deep within dense forest. With just over a hundred households, it is peaceful and relaxed. Its costumes are so distinctive that they are often called ‘a written history you wear,’ and they can be rented for photos. The village’s Gospel Hall, built by missionaries in earlier years, blends Miao and Western architectural styles and is well worth a look.
