An extraordinary example of a once-vigorous culture, this dance illustrates the beliefs of the Wutu people and reflects their strong attachment to their own unique ways. Located in the Autonomous Prefecture of Huangnan, Qinghai Province, Nianduhu is a Tu minority village near the Longwu River at Tongren County. Currently there are 1,300 people in the village living in over 230 households. It lies in an ancient city, where high city walls and cliffs surround winding narrow lanes and tightly packed houses.
