Located 30 kilometers from the urban area, Huilong Village consists of 15 village groups, with a total of 843 residents, including over 170 Yao people. With a history of over 500 years, the village features clear divisions between buildings and well-organized layouts. It also holds historical relics such as ancient wells, bridges, and bluestone slabs.
 
According to the development plan, the local authorities will further explore and make the most of traditional architecture and historical culture to create a Yao-themed rural tourism destination, revitalizing the ancient village and attracting more visitors.
