Matouzhai Bouyei Village
马头寨
A Ming-Qing Buyi ethnic village in Kaiyang County, with well-preserved stone walls, stone alleys, and wooden old houses. It can be visited together with Nanjiang Grand Canyon.
Matouzhai is located in Hefeng Buyi and Miao Ethnic Township, Kaiyang County. This Buyi village dates back to the Ming dynasty and retains dozens of Ming- and Qing-style wooden houses, stone courtyard walls, and flagstone lanes. The ancient architectural complex is protected as a cultural relic at the provincial level or above. The village sits between mountains and water, with a peaceful atmosphere. Visitors can see traditional Buyi houses and try sour soup and cured pork. Admission is free. It is about 30 minutes from Nanjiang Grand Canyon, so the two can be visited on the same day. Public transport is limited, so a private car is recommended.
