Zhugeying Village

Zhugeying Village

Composed of some 70 families, Zhugeying Village is located in the southwest
 of Fangshan Mountain in Yongren County of Chuxiong Yi Autonomous Prefecture.
In 225 A.D, in order to put down the rebellion in Southwest China, Mr. Zhuge
 Liang (181-234), the premier of Shu State (221-263) in the Three Kingdoms
 Period (220-280), led southwards an expeditionary army and managed to ferry
 over the Jinsha River (the Yangtze River) at Laza of Sichuan Province. Being 
aware that most of the soldiers were extremely exhausted from the march and
 got sun strokes in the sizzling summer, Zhu finalized the recuperation at Fangshan 
Mt.-a vital point contested by warfare commanders. When the expedition was 
resumed, some of the soldiers were asked to garrison there and the story of 
Zhugeying Village began.
Major attractions of Zhugeying include the Stone House (Shi Tou Fang), the 
 Small Great Wall (Xiao Chang Cheng), the Military Beacon Tower (Feng Huo Tai), 
the Three Stupas, the Remains of the Ancient Tea-Horse Trail, Yi Ethnic Costume 
Contest Square and some orchards nearby etc.
