Yunfeng Tunpu's ancient fortified villages were built to protect against incursions but today make for great excursions. Xu Lin explores the settlements.
The Yunfeng Tunpu Culture Tourism Area is an ancient military outpost that today attracts armies of tourists.
Nearly 540,000 travelers visited the cluster of eight ancient tunpu villages about 20 kilometers outside of Guizhou province's Anshun city in 2016. Tunpu were military outposts where soldiers guarded the region and cultivated the land.
