Bamboo trees help villagers grow local wealth and beauty in Sichuan
CHENGDU - Working hard to cook dishes made from different parts of bamboo in his restaurant, Liao Song welcomes the busiest time of the year at the Shunan bamboo tree resort.
Liao, 36, owns a restaurant in the city of Yibin, in Southwest China's Sichuan province. Located in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, the city has a climate favorable for growing bamboo.
"When I was young, my parents would cut down the bamboo and sell them to a local bamboo products factory to make ends meet for our family," he said.
