Yunfeng Tunpu, Anshun, Guizhou province, is home to a special Han community, the Tunpu people.

Their language, dress, architecture and entertainment all originated from the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644). Therefore, they are regarded as a living history of the Ming Dynasty. This unique ethnic Han culture is known as Tunpu culture.
