Yang said a dozen of local households in the village have participated in the development of Dai embroidery industry. A suit of traditional Dai costume costs RMB 800 to 3,000 (120-450 US dollars) and due to the increase of income, Yang’s family have moved into a newly-built three-storied house and bought a car.

According to local government officials, tourists can experience colorful Dai culture via weaving cloth, doing embroidery and enjoying music performance. They can also buy bamboo crafts, embroidery works and local pottery in the village. Besides, to integrate culture and tourism, various festive activities are held in the village.
