The History of Dali Eco House

When we rented an old wooden Bai house on the bottom of Cang mountain in 2017, we never thought too much about the impact we will make. 

From building a minimalism experience centre to a space allowing people to enjoy community lifestyle and learn self-sufficient life skills, we did not realise we could chase our dream and enjoy village lifestyle at the same time.
