Butuo, known as the birthplace of the Torch Festival, preserves the most authentic Yi traditions. Every summer, Yi women dress in traditional costumes and walk with yellow oil-paper umbrellas through the mountains.

In Yi culture, yellow stands for sunlight, hope and life. The yellow umbrella reflects a deep ancestral worship of the sun, blending beauty, belief and identity in a single iconic image.
