Bamboo, Rattan, and Vine Weaving from Libo

　　Libo County is mountainous with dense forests, boasting abundant resources of bamboo, rattan, and vines. The ethnic minorities in Libo possess a long-standing traditional weaving craft. To meet the needs of tourism, local artisans have tapped into the rich supply of bamboo, rattan, and vines from the mountains, refining and innovating traditional farming tools such as back baskets, bamboo crates, straw stools, and colanders. They have transformed the ordinary into the extraordinary, creating over 300 handicrafts rich in ethnic flavor and local character that are highly popular with customers. Among them, the bamboo carving “Swimming Dragon” was recommended at the provincial level to be exhibited in Beijing at the “40th Anniversary · Chinese Arts and Crafts Exhibition.”
