Guizhou Anshun | Tianlong Tunbao | Travel back to the Ming Dynasty 600 years ago

Located about an hour's drive from Anshun city center, in Tianlong Town There is a Tunbao with a history of over 600 years. At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang dispatched troops from the north to the south and settled a large number of troops from the Jiangnan area in Tianlong Tunbao. The people of Tunbao have always adhered to the ancestral system of the Great Ming Dynasty, and for 600 years, they have never changed. To this day, the young ladies here still wear Fengyang Hanfu, and the houses here are still built with stones as military settlements... The terrifying passage of time seems to have spared this Tunbao, where Tianlong Tunbao hides the purest form of secluded slow living... 📍Tianlong Tunbao, Tianlong Town, Pingba District, Anshun City Hours: 08:30-18:00 Ticket: Ancient town ticket + sightseeing car 45/person Transportation: 🚕 What to see in Tianlong Tunbao⁉️ 1⃣️The land of local opera Here, they have a form of drama older than the national treasure Peking opera called 'Dixi', commonly known as 'jumping gods'. Performers wear traditional costumes and wooden masks🎭, singing traditional folk dramas that I don't understand 2⃣️Fengyang Hanfu The traditional clothing of the Han people, the young ladies here still wear the traditional Ming Dynasty Hanfu known as 'Fengyang Hanfu' Although they all wear blue robes, there are differences between married and unmarried women: Married women—wear white headscarves with their hair up in a bun, and a black fishing waist belt Unmarried women—wear ponytails without headscarves or belts 3⃣️Worship the God of Wealth Here, not only is there the former residence of the folk God of Wealth Shen Wansan, but also a temple dedicated to him 4⃣️Tunbao architecture Here, the architectural form of the Ming Dynasty is preserved, with houses built of stone as military settlements. The structure of the houses adopts the traditional Siheyuan layout, and although many buildings are dilapidated and collapsed, their unique architectural structure is still visible If you come to Anshun, in addition to the Huangguoshu Waterfall, you can also spend half a day exploring this secluded Tunbao... 🧳Travel notes: On the streets of Tunbao, I met a kind grandmother👵🏻 selling handmade little shoes. The ancestral ring of the grandmother really hit my aesthetic spot. Although the pattern on the ring has worn down over time, the hollow design and the sense of age that time has given this ring are truly exquisite
