Yunnan village protected in a time capsule

Situated 13 kilometers to the west of Jianshui town in Southwest China's Yunnan province, Tuanshan is inhabited by both ethnic Yi and Han Chinese people with about 80 percent of families having the surname "Zhang". The Zhang family migrated as merchants to the area from East China's Jiangxi province in the early Ming Dynasty and later prospered after settling at Tuanshan. [Photo provided to chinadaily.com.cn]
