Guizhou is a gathering place for many ethnic minorities and has many scenic spots with ethnic characteristics. Among them, the Pinghai Yi Cultural Town in Liupanshui is the abbreviation of Yi.

Many local ethnic landscapes are very interesting.

Let’s experience it together.

Introduction to the scenic spot: There is an open area on the mountain branch of Wumeng Mountain in Yushe Town, which is called "Pinghai" by the Yi compatriots.

"Pinghai" is a Yi language, which means a large open land.

There is a Yi village on this open land, where Yi compatriots have lived and multiplied for dozens of generations.

This is Pinghai Village.

There are more than 2,000 Yi compatriots living in Pinghai Village.

Until now, they still maintain strong national customs and habits, and the traditional culture of the Yi people is vibrant and extremely active here.

Featured tours: With the help of small town construction, we can explore the cultural resources of the Yi people and create a national tourism brand. This idea gave birth to the Pinghai Yi cultural town construction project. This project not only "becomes the iconic landscape of the Yi culture in Yushe Town", but also

It is necessary to show the Yi culture, Yi residential architectural style and Yi life elements.

Entering Pinghai Village, a village gate with national characteristics stands majestically, and the two characters "Pinghai" on the plaque shine brightly.

Entering the entrance of the village, Pinghai Yi Customs Street comes into view. There is still an endless stream of tourists on the street, and tourist products are very popular among tourists.

Walking into Buyi Style, people are coming and going in the store.

Buyi’s “fifth-class clothes”, bags, jewelry, pendants, etc.

Neatly arranged.

Buyi women in costumes are weaving cloth to create pure handicrafts for visitors.

In the backyard, Buyi boys and girls were performing songs and dances, attracting many tourists.

They enjoyed the performance while enjoying the buffet barbecue.

Xiang Liping, director of the Office of the Management Committee of Yuhaishan Tourism and Leisure Resort, told us that there is one place in Fengqing Street that we have to go to, and that is the famous octagonal pointed sheep, which is "the best pot in the world."

Along the bluestone road at your feet and entering Fengqing Street, you can see shops with ethnic characteristics everywhere, offering a wide variety of local specialties, handicrafts, and ethnic costumes.

According to the ten-month Gregorian calendar of the Yi people, the days before and after the hot summer are the beginning of the year, which the Yi people call "New Year".

During this period, the Yi compatriots also called the 24th day of the sixth lunar month "Mumu", which means "Celebrating the Autumn Year".

The Yi compatriots also call this day the "Hui Xing Festival", which is a Torch Festival that continues to this day.

As the name suggests, "Gregorian Square" is named after the "October Gregorian Calendar" of the Yi people, and the traditional cultural elements of the Yi people are concentrated in the square.

Torch Festival The Torch Festival is a traditional festival of the Yi people with a long history.

Regarding the origin of the Torch Festival, the village party branch secretary first told us a legendary story about a Yi child who dared to fight against the sky.

It is said that in ancient times, when heaven and earth were connected, King Ntikuci was so angry that he paid tribute to the human world and sent the demon Sriabi to the lower world to torture him.

The Yi warrior Adibala led all the people to declare war on the devil. They held high torches and burned the only passage between heaven and earth, defeating and killing the devil.

When the king heard the news, he was so angry that he spread insects on the ground and ate the crops and fruit trees.

On June 24 of the lunar calendar, Attila and the angry Yi people set fire to all the bugs.

The king of heaven wanted to harm people again, but he had no choice but to give up because the way of heaven was burned.

The ancestors of the Houyi people held the Torch Festival every year on the 24th of the sixth lunar month, which lasted for three days, to commemorate this victorious festival and to ward off disasters and promote good deeds.

This festival integrates celebration, prayer and entertainment, and has become a traditional festival for the people in the Yi ethnic areas of Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou and Guangxi.

In order to better inherit this traditional festival, in the spring of 1994, at the initiative of the Yi compatriots, the Shuicheng Pinghai Yi Cultural Park was established in Pinghai Village, Yushe Township, Shuicheng County.

The Yushe Yi Torch Festival has become an important festival attraction for all Yi people. Tusi Manor, Tusi Manor, has a total area of ??about 52.69 acres and consists of 11 single buildings.

The manor combines the unique Yi style with strong local characteristics. It is a majestic, solemn and ancient Yi style building complex.

The manor can provide reception services for 200 people to stay and 500 people to dine, integrating catering, accommodation, conferences and exhibitions.

It is an ideal resort for business negotiations, conferences, academic seminars, professional training, and leisure vacations in Yeyuhai Resort.

Since its operation, the manor has held the opening ceremony of the second Liupanshui Tourism and Cultural Industry Conference, the Pinghai October Harvest Celebration, the Pinghai Cultural Park Exhibition Conference, the 7th Wumeng Mountain Yi Youth Association and other activities.

It has played an important role in major tourism-related reception activities.

Jiuzhong Palace The Jiuzhong Palace was built based on the historical palace architecture of Lord Yi, taking advantage of the differences in the heights of the nine foundations to form an artistic combination of space.

Jiugong is a comprehensive national representative building integrating landscape nodes, Yi cultural museum, cultural forum, shops and other functions.

According to Yi culture, Jiugong is divided into seven museum exhibition areas: wedding customs exhibition area, sacrificial culture exhibition area, festival activity area, science and technology development exhibition area, art area, sports area, and Yi historical and cultural area.
