  Datun Tusi Manor

  Datun Tusi Manor is located at the foot of Dahuang Mountain, 80 kilometers northeast of Bijie County, Guizhou Province.

  Built in 1821 during the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911), Datun Tusi Manor was the residence of Tusi Yu Xiangyi (the ruler of the Yi ethnic minority). The present manor has been expanded by later generations.

  Sitting in the east and facing the west, the manor was built with the mountain in mind. The front of the residence is low and flat, while the back gradually inclines. The manor is surrounded by a two-meter-high brick wall along which are six earth blockhouses at eight to 12 meters in height. The
  arrangement of the manor can be divided into three sections: the middle part, with a main hall that is five bays wide, side halls and a center room; the left side has a garden with a living hall behind it with three rooms built in a row. The ancestral hall of the Yu family is located behind the
  living hall. The three-bay-wide hall has a double-eaved gable and hip roof with a pond in the yard. A bridge named Wind Rain Bridge was constructed over the pond with two rectangular parterres on both sides. A kitchen was also set up in the rear with three small flowerbeds on the right side.
