The southwest province of Guizhou was mostly ruled by local chieftains of Yi ethnic group from the Yuan to Qing dynasties. During that period of time lasting more than six hundred years, Yi chieftains and their descendants built many magnificent office compounds and private manors which are now conserved as valuable cultural heritage. Shuixi, an area in the upper course of Wujiang River in the western part of Guizhou, sees a large concentration of chieftain manors, among which the one in Datun is most well preserved.
