Fuli, an ancient town in Yangshuo county, is known as the "hometown of Chinese painted fans." Its handcrafted fans, made with local bamboo as the frame and soft paper as the canvas, are adorned with Guilin landscapes, flowers, and birds, incorporating poetry and seal inscriptions, blending poetry, calligraphy, painting, and engraving into one unique art form.
