When people think of Dali in southwest China's Yunnan Province, they think of blue. That color comes from centuries of family-run tie-dye workshops, especially in the village of Zhoucheng.

Today, tie-dye is no longer just fabric or pattern – it's becoming a sustainable lifestyle. From natural plant dyes to handmade textiles woven into daily living, Dali's blue is a way of life that continues to evolve in contemporary hands.
