Folk Performance Areas within the Stone Forest Scenic Area are dedicated spaces
where visitors can experience the traditional music, dance, and storytelling of the Yi
ethnic community. These performances reflect local history, beliefs, and daily life,
presented through rhythmic movement and colorful costumes.
Set against the dramatic limestone landscape, the performance areas provide a
cultural layer to the natural surroundings. Shows are typically short and lively, offering
