Seeking to get away from the discrimination from ‘normal’ sized people, a community of dwarves have set up their own village in the mountains of Kunming, complete with a police force and fire brigade. The requirement for living in the village is that you have to stand under 129cm.

Recently, they’ve turned themselves into a tourist attraction by building mushroom houses and living and dressing like fairy-tale characters.

This latest move by the 120-resident village has sparked debate in China, with some people calling the village a freak show, while others argue that the village is the best chance of employment for the dwarves, given the huge surplus of labour in China.
