Basha Miao Village is located on the mountain lap (at an elevation of 550 meters) and surrounded by mountains. It is home to more than 300 Miao households and filled with legged wooden houses. The village is so remote and primitive that the villagers still keep very old lifestyle.
The costume of Basha villagers has very strong flavor of the Qin Dynasty (221 B.C. - 206 B.C.). All the Basha men have very unique hairstyles, like the men in the Qing Dynasty they wear their long hair in braids. They attach great importance to their hair bun, which they believe is a symbol of masculinity, as well as an emblem of power. This is a hairstyle that's existed for thousands of years. The men in the village usually wear blue home-made clothes, take guns and carry a knife on their waists. The women often wear batik garment and silver accessories.
