With a population of approximately 172,000, it sits administratively under the Qiandongnan Miao and Dong Autonomous Prefecture. The region is known for its geographic, cultural and ethnic diversity, including the rice terraces, and Miao ethnic crafts and traditions.[1]

History

In 2014, the Wanda Group designated it as the site for its ‘Enterprise Sponsored County-wide Comprehensive Poverty Alleviation’ program.[2] Wanda Group has committed to invest 300 million yuan to a Danzhai vocational school, 500 million yuan for a Danzhai poverty alleviation fund, and 700 million yuan for a Danzhai Wanda Village, which includes a hotel and a town district built in the Miao architectural tradition.[3]

In July 2017, the village celebrated its grand opening. Wanda is planning to build more tourism villages for poverty alleviation.[4]
