Amei Qituo Town

阿妹戚托小镇

A Yi-style town created by relocating an entire township, located in the Sanbao Yi Ethnic Township. It is a national 4A-level scenic area with bonfires and song and dance in the evenings.

The town is in Dongguan Subdistrict, east of Qinglong County town. It is China's only minority resettlement site where an entire township was relocated, with Yi-style buildings stacked along the hillside. Amei Qituo is a Yi dance performed when a girl gets married. It is listed as national intangible cultural heritage, and bonfire parties and performances are often held on holiday evenings. Admission to the town is free. It is a good place to photograph the town at dusk and enjoy Yi-style barbecue before evening. It can be visited on the same day as the 24 Bends.
