Sui ethnic group

Inhabiting , the Sui people live in the upper reaches of rivers in a climate bestowed with mild temperatures. They enjoy rice as their staple food and supplement this with pickled fish, vegetables and yellow wine. They also grow wheat and harvest all kinds of fish from the rivers in their region.

Their folk arts include paper-cuts, stone-carving, silver jewelry making, and batik techniques. The Shuijia Bu, meaning cloth of the Sui people, is particularly delicate and durable. With a history of over 700 years, it has been the pride of the Sui ethnic group.
