Tucked away in the embrace of the mountains lies the village of Basha Miao Village

Although it is only 5-6 kilometers away from Congjiang County, it is hidden deep in the mountains, isolated from the world for generations, and continues its unique ethnic culture intact. Basha Miao Village has also become the only legally armed tribe remaining in China. Legend has it that the ancestor of the Miao people, Chiyou, had three sons, and the people of Basha are the descendants of the third son. After Chiyou was defeated by the Yellow Emperor, he led the tribe on a thousand-year-long march to the southwest, and finally chose to settle here, where the lineage has thrived to this day. The Basha people hold a special reverence for trees, worshipping them as deities. 'Humans come from nature and return to nature; born without a thread, die without taking a piece of wood.' is the common belief among the Basha people.
