Arts and Crafts
The Zhuang ethnic group is well known for having developed a variety of traditional arts and crafts, including embroidery, Zhuang brocade, bamboo weaving, wood carving, porcelain, sculpture, painting, paper-cutting and batik. The techniques used to produce Zhuang brocade have been used by the locals for over 1,000 years. The silk embroidered balls found around the area were once used exclusively by young women to show their interests in young men. But today they are much sought after souvenirs of a visit to the area.
