Rivers and tea history
The autonomous county was established on 18 May 1954. It was once an important distribution centre for Pu’er tea, which travelled downstream by boat along the Lixian River. Tea, coffee, macadamia nuts and rubber are among the crops grown here.
Dai villages and weaving
Chengzi Sanzhai (城子三寨), in Zhengdong Town (整董镇), belongs to the first list of China’s traditional villages. Dai brocade weaving continues here on traditional wooden-frame looms. Weaver Zhao Zhen (赵珍), a municipal intangible cultural heritage representative inheritor, makes brocade at her teaching workshop; local weaving workshops also produce bags, shawls and clothing. Shiceng Dashan (十层大山) is a named mountain landscape at the junction of the three countries.
