Arxan's natural bounty finds fresh fans

In her studio, one can find exquisite folding screens, hanging lamps and a selection of furnishings, all ornamented with pine cones. Additionally, she has made aromatic sachets using pine needles harvested during different seasons.
"I hope tourists will be able to bring home the distinct scents of Arxan's forests," she says.

In the future, she plans to create a wider range of cultural and creative products for visitors.

As someone involved in tourism, Fu has seen the evolution of the sector in Arxan.

"In the past, most residents were engaged in logging, but now they can work in scenic areas and hotels, and open shops selling tourist products. The development of tourism has given us more opportunities, and our sense of happiness has also increased," she says.
