Located a few kilometers upstream from the Huangguoshu waterfall is a local village called Shitouzhai Buyi. The village is built almost exclusively from stone, and the Buyi people living here are famous for making wax dyed fabric. My journey to get here took me through a connection at Zhenning, after which you can almost watch time reverse with each block you drive through until you're surrounded by primitive farm terraces.
Surrounding the stone village there is a new bike path for tourists, and a couple restaurants, but on the inside it's pretty much just some people going about there lives. I walked around in here for a while, and then continued outside of the main gate on the riverside. There are pathways back and forth between every structure and nothing to prevent you from exploring except the occasional growling dog.
