## About Tianlong Tunpu Scenic Area

Tianlong Tunpu is a military garrison village established during the Ming dynasty. Its villagers have faithfully kept the Han Chinese customs passed down through the generations, preserving the spirit of the Ming era. Their language, costumes, residential architecture and forms of entertainment are markedly different from those of the surrounding ethnic minority villages. The buildings here are all built of stone, giving the village a distinctly military character. At the Martial Arts Hall, you can catch the unique Di Opera (地戏) performance, which dramatizes heroic tales of serving the nation and defeating enemies.
