Located in Lianan Yao Autonomous County, Guangdong, Nangang Village is part of a region known for its dense Yao population. The county, established as one of Guangdong's three earliest ethnic minority autonomous counties, has a population of over 164,000, with Yao people accounting for more than 70,000. The Yao people, known for their rich cultural heritage, inhabit 88% of the county's mountainous area, earning Lianan the nickname "Hundred-Mile Yao Mountains."
Witness the village's rich history through its ancient buildings, including 368 Ming and Qing dynasty homes, village gates, and walls. Nangang Village's strategic hillside location has historically defended against attacks, with its village walls and gate serving as a testament to its past glory. Although the village's population has declined, with only 43 households remaining, it remains one of the best-preserved and most significant Yao villages in the world.

It look like the favellas in Brazil. So you can portrait a village like this as beautiful or as trashy

[@LittleJerry-kr8il]

This video was took by the GoPro? It looks good

[@chinawhereabouts]

Yes, exactly. Thanks

[@laurachapin204]

What a lovely intimate view of this ancient village. I love learning about cultures far away from me, especially in Asia. The stone alleys are a labyrinth! I'm afraid I would be lost for hours. Do I see buffalo horns on the posts and gates?

[@chinawhereabouts]

Actually there are only 3 main streets, the others are all located more or less parallel. Yes buffalo horns are quite common in the area . Thanks

[@laurachapin204]

@@chinawhereabouts, you don't understand. I can get lost in a grocery store! 😄

[@lenjon7478]

What is that water noise ?

[@laurachapin204]

Water flows down the mountain alongside the stone steps.

[@chinawhereabouts]

Yes. Especially after a long rainy night

[@nancyvolker3342]

if only homeless people around china could be placed in villages like this one in the abandoned homes

[@hmong8305]
