Luóxiù

Luoxiu lies southeast of Xunzhou in the hills of eastern Guangxi. Its villages stand among streams and cultivated valleys between the Xun River country and the lands towards Rong. At Zhitang, houses and ancestral halls preserve the history of families who settled in the area. Local genealogies recall migration to the village during the troubled transition from Ming to Qing, when war and famine drove families from their earlier homes.
