Langou village: Weaving a global legacy from bamboo

Led by bamboo weaving master Chen Yunhua, the villagers of Langou in Southwest China’s Sichuan province have transformed their once-quiet village into China’s leading hub for bamboo weaving. Their handcrafted creations are now sold around the world, putting Langou on the global map.

But the story doesn’t end there — like bamboo itself, the village keeps growing, with fresh shoots of creativity and opportunity sprouting every day.
