Tongle Lisu Village
同乐村
An ancient Lisu village on a hillside on the west bank of the Lancang River, with log houses stacked up the slope. It is the home of 'Achi Mugua,' the Lisu goat dance.
Tongle Village lies on the hillside on the west bank of the Lancang River, south of Yezhi Town. More than a hundred Lisu households live in 'thousand-legged' log houses built along the slope. The village is well preserved and is listed as a cultural relic protection unit under the name 'Tongle Lisu Residential Complex.' It is the main home of 'Achi Mugua' (Lisu goat dance), a national intangible cultural heritage. During festivals or when a group has booked in advance, you can watch villagers perform songs and dances. You can also try local dishes such as lacquered oil chicken and chujiu (pounded rice wine) at farmhouses.
From the county town, it takes about 2 hours north along the Lancang River road. It can be combined with the Yezhi Tusi Yamen and the Kangpu Shouguo Temple as a one-day trip.
The road into the village is steep and narrow, so drive carefully in rain. Ask for permission before photographing villagers.
