Show this to your driverXinzhuang: scoop your own sheet of bark paper at the Gaoligong Paper Museum
Longshang hamlet, Xinzhuang village, Jietou township, northern Tengchong
Xinzhuang, a village under the Gaoligong range, has made paper by hand since a Ming-dynasty settler found the right shrub bark growing here, and many families still do. The bark is soaked, boiled and beaten to pulp, then lifted from a vat on a bamboo screen, pressed and dried sheet by sheet on a heated wall. The Gaoligong Handmade Paper Museum at the village edge, a cluster of small timber buildings by architect Hua Li, shows the whole process, and you can scoop and dry a sheet yourself or try pulp painting.
What locals sayArchitecture fans come for Hua Li's building as much as for the paper; others find the museum small and say making a sheet yourself is what makes the drive worthwhile.
