"Pohui" festival, a local folk event, was held in Rongshui Miao autonomous county around the Spring Festival this year. People dressed in festive costumes came together to pray for blessings, share joy of life and entertain themselves.

In recent years, thanks to the funding support from Guangdong province under a "pairing-up" initiative, local authorities have leveraged the ethnic cultural resources to develop local cultural tourism industry, with the aim of promoting rural revitalization.
