In Yunnan’s Mangtuan village, a centuries-old craft thrives—handmade white mulberry paper. Once used for Buddhist scriptures, it’s now reinvented with flower-embedded designs and cultural products. Led by Dai artisan Ai Ye, this intangible heritage supports over 100 families and exports across Southeast Asia. From forest to workshop, every sheet tells a story of nature, faith, and revival.
