Located in Lianan Yao Autonomous County, Guangdong, Nangang Village is part of a region known for its dense Yao population. The county, established as one of Guangdong's three earliest ethnic minority autonomous counties, has a population of over 164,000, with Yao people accounting for more than 70,000. The Yao people, known for their rich cultural heritage, inhabit 88% of the county's mountainous area, earning Lianan the nickname "Hundred-Mile Yao Mountains."
Witness the village's rich history through its ancient buildings, including 368 Ming and Qing dynasty homes, village gates, and walls. Nangang Village's strategic hillside location has historically defended against attacks, with its village walls and gate serving as a testament to its past glory. Although the village's population has declined, with only 43 households remaining, it remains one of the best-preserved and most significant Yao villages in the world.

古建築極珍貴！👍👍👍
Absolutely amazing. Mostly foot paths, not road paths. I love this
If those walls could talk.... Beautiful video!! Thank you for sharing!! 😊
I like watching this kind of place thanks for sharing my dear
Beautiful mountain ranges beyond the houses, this place could be more beautiful and gorgeous if things are more tidy and cleaned up and buildings have been taken care of. I could imagine that this area might have been very beautiful in the past.
Thank you for your insightful comment! The mountain ranges around Nangang Village are indeed stunning and add to the village's unique charm. Maintaining such an ancient place can be challenging, and while some areas might show their age, they also reflect the village's long history. Efforts to preserve and restore historical sites are ongoing, and it's fascinating to imagine how magnificent it must have looked in the past. Your appreciation for its beauty is much appreciated, and I hope the video brought you a sense of the village's enduring allure. Thanks for watching!
Thank you very much for filming this wonderful place.

Greetings from Redondo Beach 🇺🇸🇺🇸. Beautiful quaint old town and nice video🌷🌷
Hopefully the authoriy will give this ancient village a facelift and the interiors of the houses rejuvenated retaining its character but better facilities to make it a tourist desination.
Love from Florida.

Muito bom trabalho ❣ obrigada ❣ 😊🙏
Absolutely beautiful very unique
amazing and so interesting , hi from Australia
Villagers will keep areas ,clean!
10 Decades ago still standing
Lovely, but....here in the Nethe'tlands there are many much smaller villages of over a 1000years old and still looking great.
Sorry...Netherlands....
But sadly no cultural heritage whatsoever.

Only the authentic remain !!!
Excellent video! Amazing to think that this place was there LONG before any european set foot on America. Thanks for sharing!
The black bricks are phenomenal. Paradise, no cars ! A labyrinth just stunning Are there hotels there? I would love to spend a couple weeks there
I'm glad you enjoyed the video! The black bricks are indeed remarkable and add to the village's unique charm. Nangang Village is a peaceful haven, and its labyrinthine layout is truly stunning. While there are no large hotels in the village itself, there are guesthouses and homestays that offer a more authentic experience. Staying there for a couple of days is certainly an immersive way to appreciate the history, culture, and beauty of this ancient village. Thanks for watching and for your lovely comment!
An exstordinary community 🌹❤️🌹
🙏🏻
It look like the favellas in Brazil. So you can portrait a village like this as beautiful or as trashy
This video was took by the GoPro? It looks good
Yes, exactly. Thanks
The heaven paradise village
Interesting place of brick/stone architecture. But I find is strange that while you're in the simple Yao temple you
did not film the interior and statues. Just like visiting a museum without filming the artworks or artifacts.
Thank you for your comment and observation! I appreciate your interest in the Yao temple. The interior and statues are indeed significant parts of the temple, but sometimes there are restrictions on filming inside such places to respect local customs and traditions. In this case, I also had to cut that part because the video quality wasn't great. I understand your curiosity, though, and I'll keep this in mind for future videos to provide a more comprehensive experience when possible. Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts!
@@chinawhereabouts Thank you and appreciate your reply. Looking forward to watch more exiting tour of a fascinating country.
What a lovely intimate view of this ancient village. I love learning about cultures far away from me, especially in Asia. The stone alleys are a labyrinth! I'm afraid I would be lost for hours. Do I see buffalo horns on the posts and gates?
Actually there are only 3 main streets, the others are all located more or less parallel. Yes buffalo horns are quite common in the area . Thanks
@@chinawhereabouts, you don't understand. I can get lost in a grocery store! 😄
Ah, I see what you mean now! My apologies for the misunderstanding. Those stone alleys can be quite charming and maze-like. It's all part of the adventure! Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts
May be stunning esp mountain views but so much squalour, dirt n damp!
Hi any Da To or local train ? Thx s.
Thank you for your question! To reach Nangang Village, I took a bus from Guangzhou to Liannan, the city close to the village. The bus ride took around 4 hours. From Liannan, I then took a taxi, which took about 30 minutes to reach the village. The journey offers beautiful scenery along the way, making it a memorable trip. I hope this helps, and thanks for watching!
What is that water noise ?
Water flows down the mountain alongside the stone steps.
Yes. Especially after a long rainy night
So Beautiful but so poor.
Desiring is poor, Not desiring is rich, Beautyful Insight, beautiful outsight
I love the video. The nose snorting not so much!
I'm glad you enjoyed the video! I'm sorry about the nose snorting; I'll make sure to improve the audio quality in future videos. Thank you for your feedback, and I hope you continue to enjoy my content!
they must be mien people, right?
if only homeless people around china could be placed in villages like this one in the abandoned homes
Pretty nice village but when I've seen the CCP cameras keeping an eye on people I thought no way I would like to live there... everywhere in china is like an outdoor jail, I value my privacy dearly
What kind of privacy do you need exactly when you are wandering around in public? If you want so much privacy on public maybe you should stay home?
@@shineluvslambiel ...those cameras are just meters from habitable buildings, you may be comfortable with being under the watchful eyes of your government but here in Australia they would never be allowed, we love our freedom
@@noproblem2big337 yeah no they are not.
cameras for the safety of visitors from pickpockets, thieves, petty crimes, only criminal who don't like cameras can't commit crimes 😂😂😂
@@dbestplanner I totally agree with your point in a city with crime cameras help to keep law and order, then even though this is a beautiful picturesque town it is not a place i would like to live in...we just don't see cameras in residential streets i could walk around all day and not see one camera on a footpath yet feel very safe we do have the occasional traffic cameras on busy roads for speeding motorists that's perfectly fine with me

Thank you so much for your enthusiastic comment! I'm thrilled to hear you enjoyed the presentation of Nangang Village. It's truly fascinating how people have lived in such a remote and elevated area for centuries. The villagers have historically relied on agriculture, traditional crafts, and trading with nearby areas for their livelihood. Despite the challenges, they have maintained their rich cultural heritage and unique way of life. I'm glad this video sparked your curiosity, and I hope to share more insights into such incredible places in the future. Thanks again for watching and for your kind words!
