Baimi Wooden Clogs Village Introduction
The Baili Community, formerly known as "Baili Pot," was the starting point of the Suhua Highway excavated during the Qing Dynasty, which opened up the Qilai Road. During the Japanese occupation, it developed a mining industry. Due to the abundant production of local trees suitable for making wooden shoes, it became an important supply hub for traditional wooden shoe production. Although the community experienced a decline over the past two to three decades, it showcased creativity and imagination, giving new life to wooden shoes and gradually making Baili Wooden Shoe Village a well-known tourist attraction with the theme of "Baili's Heart, Wooden Shoe Affection." Through imitative采 and community bonding, it seeks to reclaim past memories through the local saying, "Baili Pot, making wooden shoes; stealing materials, gathering from the mountains." In 1998, the Wooden Shoe Museum was established, allowing visitors to learn about the wooden shoe industry and the Baili Community through guided tours and wooden shoe experiences.
