Cizhong
Deqing, Yunnan | January 2025
I visited Cizhong, a small village known for its unique ethnic culture and traditions. The village is home to a historic Catholic church built by missionaries, where locals were taught winemaking. Visiting Cizhong offers a glimpse into a rare blend of cultural heritage, religion, and traditional viticulture.
