Nuohei, A Stony Village In Shilin County
Included
on the tour line of Shilin (Stone Forest)-Jiuxiang Underground
Cave-A’lu Ancient Cave, Nuohei Village is 30 km from Shilin county seat
or 2 km from Haiyi Town in East Shilin.
Nuohei
Village nestles among mounts and lakes. It’s a world of stones,
composed of roads paved with polished stones, slate houses, rocky mounts
and karst lakes. Most of the residences are built from stratified
stones, using thick slates as walls and thin ones as roofs. Enjoying the
fame as “the most famous stony village with Karst terrains”, Nuohei has
developed couple of farmhouse inns for visitors.
"Nuohei”
is a word from the language of the Sani People (a branch of the Yi
ethnic minority in Shilin County); it means “monkey pond”. In 2009, the
16th conference of IUAES (the International Union of Anthropological and
Ethnological Sciences) designated Nuohei as an outdoor inspection site.
