The old-fashioned hand weaving method is still a salient feature of the handicrafts of the Hani people living in the Mengla Mountain area in the Xishuangbanna Dai Autonomous Prefecture in Yunnan Province, Southwest China. The Simple and easy way of weaving produces the home-spun cloth which is durable, though course.
