Keyi is a Yi ethnic village 21 km north from the county seat of Mi'le, or 25 km from the Stone Forest Resort.

In the Yi ethnic dialect, “Ke Yi” means “an auspicious place”. The village is made up of some 200 households, all of whom are the Ahxi People-a branch of the Yi ethnic minority. 

Exploited and sorted systematically by artists for years, the folk dances choreographed by villagers themselves have evolved into the famous dance named “Ah Xi Tiao Yue” (Ahxi People Dance in the Moonlight) that enjoys a nationwide popularity.
