[FourLeafClover]Main attractions and experiences [RoundNails]Puzhen Tie-Dye Museum (located at No. 61, Yunnan-Tibet Highway, Zhoucheng Village): This is the best place to understand and experience tie-dye art. It not only displays the history and culture of tie-dye, but also has a wealth of tie-dye works for viewing. There is a large experience area in the museum where you can learn tie-dyeing techniques and make your own tie-dye works.
