Tianlong Tunpu is located in Anshun, Guizhou, in the throat of western Yunnan. The word "Tianlong" is taken from the "Tian" in Tiantai Mountain and the "Dragon" in Longyan Mountain, formerly known as "Mi Long". Since the Yuan Dynasty, it has been an important post station on the ancient post road in Shunyuan.

In order to prevent this place from becoming a vacuum zone of political power, he stationed troops here, tunbao, tunbao, the garrison location is tunbao, and the residential area is a fort.

More than 600 years have passed in a hurry, and the Ming Dynasty has long since disappeared in the long river of history, and the Tunpu people here still inherit the culture and customs of the Ming Dynasty. Tunpu women are holding their hair, wearing long sapphire dresses and Hanfu with big sleeves, and wearing unique embroidered shoes.

In some old houses, there are typical Jiangnan folk houses with exquisite workmanship.

The most famous school is Tianlong School, which was built in 1907. The whole school has building materials such as stone and wood. There are dense old trees in the park, which looks like an old castle from a distance.

On Tiantai Mountain, not far from Tianlong Tunpu, there is also a castle made of stone. The Wulong Temple, built of wood and stone, was originally used for military purposes. Later, its military role gradually faded, and it gradually formed a sacred place of incense integrating Buddhism, Confucianism and Taoism, which was known as "the swan song of stone".
