Baimi Wooden Clogs Village Introduction
Baimi Community, formerly known as "Baimi Container," was the starting point for the Suhua Highway during the Qing Dynasty, which opened access to Qilai Road. During the Japanese occupation, it developed a mining industry. The community thrived on the abundant production of the Jiangmou tree, a great material for making wooden clogs, leading to the development of a clog industry that became an important supply hub. Despite experiencing a decline over the past two to three decades, the community has harnessed creativity and imagination to breathe new life into wooden clogs, promoting the clog industry with the theme "Baimi Heart, Clog Affection," gradually turning Baimi Clog Village into a well-known tourist attraction. Through re-approaching and revitalizing the community, memories of the past are rekindled with the local saying, "Baimi container, making material clogs; stealing materials, catching in the mountains." In 1998, the Clog Museum was established, allowing visitors to learn about the clog industry and Baimi Community through guided tours and clog experiences.
