A golden autumn sunset illuminated the continuous mountain ranges in northern Guizhou Province, and Wujiangzhai Village, which is located in the Wujiang River basin, was also “painted” with shimmering golden light.

During the National Day holidays and the traditional Zhongqiu Festival, lanterns and decorative lighting are lit in the village in the evening. Tourists stroll along the winding stone paths. Restaurants, guesthouses, and bars line the streets… a festive atmosphere permeates the air.

On the night of the Zhongqiu Festival, a drone fireworks show began in the sky. Following it, the "Iron Flower" (a show of molten iron sparks) once again lit up the night sky in Tian Square. "Simply a stunning sight!" exclaimed Li Muying, a tourist from Chongqing.

During the day, the memory of intangible heritage is felt everywhere in Wujiangzhai.

At the Wu Zhifang workshop, staff introduce visitors to an ancient papermaking method. Nearby, at the Heping dye house, tourists sit in a circle and watch as white cloth, under the influence of a unique traditional technique, is transformed into an exquisite blue patterned fabric. In the lantern shop, traditional wares radiate warmth…

In these places, tourists can not only buy handicrafts but also participate in their creation and take their creations home. This makes Wujiangzhai particularly popular among parents with children.

While enjoying the joy, tourists also witness the transformation of Wujiangzhai's residents. This remote village has achieved a remarkable transformation thanks to its ongoing efforts to integrate rural tourism and intangible heritage culture.
