Upon entering the century-old Ganshili Village, Fabio encountered a woman weaving Li brocade who, without lifting her head or stilling her busy hands, gave him an introduction to what she was working on. "The traditional spinning, dyeing, weaving, and embroidery skills of the Li ethnic group, which are used to produce Li brocade, have a long history of over 3,000 years. The traditional brocade of the Li people, used in their traditional costumes, is rich and colorful, and the various exquisite patterns can be traced to aesthetic ideas in their traditional culture. They show scenes of all things in nature from different angles and forms, reflecting the Li people's work, life, customs, and beautiful folk myths and legends."

Fabio sat next to the weaver, carefully examining the patterns on the Li brocade. Learning that the "Li traditional textile techniques" are a UNESCO-listed intangible cultural heritage, his eyes lit up as he gave her a huge thumbs-up.

"The traditional culture of the Li and Miao ethnic groups Hainan is very distinctive. Here, the traditional culture is combined with the life of the local indigenous people and displayed to passing tourists, letting them know that the traditional culture is still alive," exclaimed Fabio.
