However, because of the murals, crowds gradually gathered. The exterior walls of more than 400 residential buildings in the entire village are all painted with beautiful murals. The smart colors are integrated with the surrounding natural scenery and are full of vitality. It is precisely because of this that the nearby places that were originally private residences have also been turned into cafes, restaurants, homestays, etc., making the alley even more popular.
