The folk culture and art of the Tujia people is a high point of Yichang's tourism. The unique Changyang dancing show, adapted from the local funeral dances, is always enjoyed by visitors. It combines entertainment and body-building and has gained a high reputation throughout the country. Now, visitors can enjoy these traditional performances in selected tourist locations. A witchcraft show is put on in Sanxia Ancient Military Camp, while the Baren dancing show and Tujia trappings show can be seen in Sun and Moon Village.
