It is a must pass place from Tongren to the north gate of Fanjing Mountain Scenic Area. It is adjacent to Yamugou Scenic Area and Zhaisha Dong Village. It takes about 70 minutes by car from Tongren City to Yunshe Village, and about 20 minutes from the north gate of Fanjing Mountain Scenic Area.
Here, visitors can enjoy the pastoral scenery along the way and occasionally hear cows and sheep mooing; Entering the village, visitors can see buildings and the ancient stone path with a clear light, but it feels like a mystery between these buildings and the path, as they are like barrels.
Originally, it was the ancestors of Yunshe Village who adopted a maze like layout and built high walled courtyard style buildings with four sided square bricks to prevent banditry, which formed the ancient village's winding alleyways and unique Tujia sealed fire barrel houses. The comprehensive, systematic, and creative planning and construction ideas of the ancestors of Yunshe Village have amazed visitors.
Yunshe Village is a primitive Tujia village nestled by mountains and rivers. The Taiping River flows gently, with trees surrounding the village providing shade. At first glance, this place is a vibrant scene. Legend has it that it used to be a place where immortals lived.
