Stone Village is located in the famous Huangguoshu Waterfall Scenic Area of southwest Guizhou, just 6 kilometers away from Huangguoshu Waterfall. It is a Buyi Ethnic village, the home of 200 families, totally some 1000 Buyi ethnic people (a biggish minority in the southwest of China). Surrounded by mountains covered by lush trees and rivers, the scenery of the village is very attractive. Wide Stone River passes along the village with a five-cave stone bridge arching over. The stone bridge together with its reflection forms a circle and the reflections of the mountains and trees are chamber in the five holes of the bridge respectively.
The Stone Village is also famous for its wax-dyed fabrics. Up to 80 percent of women in the village master this traditional folk craft. Tourists can participate this process by designing and operating on their own to experience the life of Buyi villagers and pleasure of making traditional craft.
