Under the background of the integration of culture and travel, all localities gradually strengthened the excavation and utilization of local and characteristics culture. The fragility of minority cultures has led to multiple puzzles and paradoxes of development or protection. This paper takes Qianhu Yaozhai in Liannan as a case study, through in-depth interviews, participatory observation and other methods, analyzes the appeals and expectations of different subjects in tourism development, and tries to find the confusion of tourism development and the root of conflicts of interest in ethnic villages from the perspective of space power. The research results show that the appeals of the government, residents, operators and other subjects, all of which are misplaced and even conflicted. The binary opposition between protection and development is the contradiction focus of the conflicts and developmental confusion of different subjects. In the process of tourism development in Qianhu Yaozhai, the discourses and appeals expressed by different subjects have responded to spatial justice or spatial injustice. This research can provide a new theoretical perspective for the development of ethnic village tourism.
