The craftsmanship handed down from generations in Guo's family has turned into a thriving wood carving industry that helped to enrich the village. At present, there are some 50 people dedicated to this industry in the village. Over 5,000 pieces of works are sold to Beijing and other big cities in Guangdong and Fujian provinces annually.
