Recently, many of the Buyi villagers in the ten mile Gallery of Hefeng village, Kaiyang County, Guizhou, were playing slack shoes on the riverside while taking advantage of slack farming.

This year's 66 year old aunt Luo is the champion of rural slack shoes competition in the past few years. She said that the original straw sandals were prepared for the next spring and summer work. With the development of Kaiyang rural tourism, the beautiful scenery and farmhouse music on the Qinglong River attracted more and more tourists.

3 yuan per pair of straw sandals also brought an extra income to the farmers.
