Introduction to Shidong Town

Shidong Town’s reputation is no longer just due to its status as an important port on the Qingshui River in the past. It relies on more precious folk cultural resources-Sisters Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, Miao Festival, etc. It is customary for festivals such as the New Year and Shidong "broken thread embroidery" and silver ornaments. Shidong Town, Taijiang County, is located on the banks of the Qingshui River. It is surrounded by mountains and rivers and has convenient transportation. In ancient times, it was an important post station and ferry connecting the upper and lower reaches of the Qingshui River. During the period of "reforming native land and returning to local rule", the Qing government set up a garrison here and stationed heavy troops to guard it.
