Datun Tusi Manor

Datun Tusi Manor is located in Datun Township, 100 kilometers northeast of Bijie City. The Datun Tusi Manor is large in scale and is one of the only relatively complete Yi Tusi manors in the country. It was built in the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty (1821-1850 AD). The overall layout of Datun Tusi Manor is a large-scale three-way construction with roughly symmetrical central axis, and each road has three-layer halls. The buildings on the left road include East Garden, Granary, Embroidery Building, etc. The East Garden, also known as "Yiyuan", is used to receive guests. There are flower garden rooms in the park, and its architecture is very beautiful. The flowerbeds are scattered, the guest rooms are gorgeously decorated, the courtyard dam is paved with bluestone, and the courtyard walls are painted and decorated, which is antique and very elegant. The buildings on the middle road have the lobby, the second hall and the main hall, and there are stone dams or inner walls between the halls of each road. The tall brick courtyard walls and bucket arches are built under the eaves, which look simple and heavy. It is still conceivable that the toast manor was heavily guarded and solemn. The courtyard is more than 80 meters deep, more than 60 meters wide, and covers an area of more than 6,000 square meters. The various patterns of its stone, wood and furniture carvings have distinct characteristics of Yi culture and art, and are precious material materials for the study of nationality and folklore.
