The traditional dwelling of Dai people (commonly known as Bamboo Building) is attracting many visitors for its deli-cate style, adaptation to local climate and ecological building materials as well as the features of the courtyard which is harmony with nature. As a kind of tourism resource of Xishuangbanna, the traditional dwelling plays a good role in promoting the development of lo-cal tourism economy. However, as many newly-built dwellings of Dai people in the local village are being greatly changed in their structure, the unique features of the bamboo building are fading.
