Wuying Village, spanning a history of over 200 years, is a Miao ethnic group hamlet that nestles snugly in the towering mountains stretching across the border between Guangxi and Guizhou.

In the past, the impassable mountains and rugged landscape rendered locals extremely poor. In recent years, Wuying Village has made efforts in the fields of economy, education, culture and ethnic unity, etc. to promote rural vitalization for further development.
