About Danzhai Stone Bridge
Return to the millennium and experience ancient papermaking
Shiqiao Village is located in the north of Danzhai County, Guizhou. It is connected to the river by a natural stone arch bridge. It is named after the cliffs on both sides of the bank. Everyone in the village, from a 16-year-old boy to a 70-year-old man, uses ancient techniques to make paper. Shiqiao Village mainly produces white paper boxes and colored paper, especially colored handmade paper, which is unique in the country. Its papermaking technology is a relatively well-preserved "living fossil" of papermaking.
Although Shiqiao Village has been making paper for generations, the Nangao River that passes around the village is still crystal clear, and the continuous green bamboos on the hillside are like an undulating sea of ??bamboo, which is very spectacular.
