Basha, the last gunman tribe in ChinaIf you visit Basha village in Guizhou province's Congjiang county, you will be greeted by agroup of men carrying long rifles. Fear not, they are harmless, as Zhu Xingxin finds out.
Basha village is a place where a small community of ethnic Miao continues to live largelylike it did 4,000 years ago. The village is perched on a hill 7.5 kilometers from Congjiang.This group is quite different from other Miao groups in terms of clothing and daily life. Themen in the village dress like ancient warriors, and wear guns and knives every day. Theirhair is mostly shaved except in the middle, where it is twisted and knotted. As villagers inthe tribe are the country's only civilians permitted to own firearms, they are dubbed "thelast tribe of gunners in China".
