Tujia Custom Park is no stranger to everyone. It is a large comprehensive tourism service enterprise integrating cultural landscape and natural landscape, and integrating artistic performance, rare treasures exhibition, accommodation, entertainment and shopping. Tourists who come here can wear the clothing of Ah Mei and Ah Ge and feel the atmosphere of the Tujia ethnic group.

It mainly consists of functional areas such as Tujia architectural complexes, folk customs exhibitions, cultural performances, guest rooms, catering, large hunting grounds, rare botanical gardens, and root carving bases. The buildings in the park are mostly wood and stone structures with carved beams and painted rafters, which are resplendent, cornices and corners, exquisite and elegant.

Representative works include Tusi Castle, Washou Hall, Tujia Shanzhai, and Yangwang Palace. Especially the towering tower, built along the mountain, has a magnificent atmosphere with a height of 48 meters, nine layers and twelve floors, winding paths and unique designs.

The tusi system was first established during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, and by the Ming Dynasty, it had become very mature. Tusi kings had supreme authority, and in Xiangxi, there were three major tusi kings: Xiangshi, the tusi king of Sangzhi, Peng, the tusi king of Yongshun, and Zhang, the tusi king of Cili. Among them, Peng, the tusi king of Xizhou in Yongshun, had the strongest strength.

Other chieftain kings built their own chieftain cities, only the Peng family built two chieftain cities in Yongding and Yongshun. In the Tusi City of Yongding, Peng built the tallest 48 meter high, 12 story stilt house in western Hunan to demonstrate her status. The entire building had no iron nails, making it a miracle in the history of Tujia stilt house architecture. In September 2002, this building was named the tallest stilt house and won the Guinness World Record. At the same time, the Maogusi dance event held in the Tusi City with 1000 people participating in the performance achieved zero success and also won the Guinness World Record. Upon entering the Tusi City, the first thing to see is the welcoming ceremony. Tujia men welcome guests with drums, blow horns, and throw punches. Tujia girls stop the door with songs and offer drinks. Upon entering the city, a hundred people Tujia ancestor worship event is held in front of the sacrificial hall, where men, women, and children sing and dance hand waving songs and dances. They climb the world's tallest stilted tower, the Nine Heavens, and visit the cultural exhibitions of the Tujia people for thousands of years. Go to the Tujia mountain village, listen to Tujia songs, appreciate the most representative customs of the Tujia family, such as crying for marriage, three stick drums, lanterns and other folk performances.

The Bizka Holy Fire Hall was built in 2003, and its performance evening "Tu Feng Miao Yun" is a carefully crafted tourism song and dance cultural product by the Tujia Culture Park and the Hunan Provincial Ethnic Song and Dance Troupe. Through three chapters of "blessing", "customs", and "wedding customs", it artistically reflects the customs and traditions of the Tujia and Miao ethnic groups in western Hunan, China, fully showcasing the mysterious color of western Hunan and the diligence, simplicity, and kindness of the local people. A program that combines artistic, ornamental, and entertaining elements, bringing not only artistic enjoyment but also unexpected surprises to the audience, adding a beautiful scenery to the Tujia Cultural Park.

The Tujia historical and cultural exhibition area and the residential culture exhibition area can provide a systematic understanding and cultural interpretation of the Tujia ethnic group's nearly 5000 years of history and culture, as well as the primitive labor and living conditions of the agricultural era.
