Baimi Wooden Shoes Village Introduction
The Baimei Community, formerly known as "Baimei Jar," was established during the Qing Dynasty when the Suhua Road was excavated, with Baimei as the starting point for the Qilai Road. During the Japanese occupation, it developed into a mining industrial area. Due to the abundant production of the Jiangmu tree, which is a great material for making wooden clogs, the wooden clog industry flourished and became an important supply hub. Despite experiencing decline over the past two to three decades, the community exercised creativity and imagination to give new life to wooden clogs, revitalizing the industry. With the slogan "Baimei Heart, Clog Affection," Baimei Clog Village has gradually become a well-known tourist destination. Through imitation and renewed understanding, the community has come together to rediscover the memories of the past, encapsulated in the saying, "Baimei Jar for materials, sneaky materials captured from the mountains and forests." In 1998, the Clog Museum was established, allowing visitors to learn about the clog industry and the Baimei Community through guided tours and clog experiences.
