In Guizhou, the Tunpu people keep a centuries-old legacy alive through the clothes they wear and the dialect they speak. Their traditional Han Chinese attire preserves styles dating back to the Ming Dynasty, some 600 years ago, reflecting the customs, rituals and beliefs passed down through generations. The magnificent landscapes of Guizhou have nurtured ancient Ming traditions and witnessed remarkable human journeys in modern history, like the Long March, weaving layers of history into this unique land.
