About

In southwestern China’s Sichuan province, there is an ancient town called Qingshen. The Minjiang River flows through the city, and a sea of bamboo forests covers the nearby hills and mountains in lush green.

In this podcast, we go southwest to this ancient town and see how the local people have revitalized their villages by protecting and making good use of their bamboo forest resources.
