In the mist of Yunnan's Jingmai Mountain lies the most vivid "roof art."

The Blang people's "one bud, two leaves" decoration crowns the eaves with the tea mountain's gift, each contour hiding a love for the fragrance of tea. The Dai people's ox horn ornaments, meanwhile, carry the power of the wilderness, curving into a gentle arc of coexistence with nature.

Every tile and pattern is an ethnic story engraved on the roof.
