To protect natural forest and the environment, logging was banned in around 1998. Due to the urban expansion, most farmland was also requisitioned for construction.

At that difficult time, tourism started to show some early signs in the village.

In around 2000, some backpackers discovered the hidden village by chance and were amazed by the perfect mix of the original nature scenery and the distinctive folk houses and the manor.

The news attracted more photographers and artists to capture the beauty of the village and explore its rich culture.
