Tie-dyeing technique of Bai ethnic group in Yunnan

Photo taken on May 25, 2017 shows tie-dyeing cloth at Zhoucheng village of Bai autonomous prefecture of Dali, Southwest China's Yunnan province. As a traditional folk technique of the Bai ethnic group, tie dyeing was listed in 2006 into state-level intangible cultural heritages. The technique goes through three major steps: making knots, dipping and dyeing, and drying in the sun. Traditional tie-dyeing products are mostly inspired by local scenery and based on blue and white colors. [Photo/Xinhua]
