A tale of a woman and her village

Ma Su'e looks from the window of her house, also a hotel, in Gaogongqiao village, where the population is mostly Dong ethnic people, in Enshi city, Enshi Tujia and Miao autonomous prefecture, central China's Hubei province, August 15, 2009. Ma started her farmhouse-turned hotel business last year as the picturesque sceneries in the mountainous area attracted more and more visitors. Her performance troupe consisting of 52 local villagers has also become a major attraction. Ma and other local residents have also set up a council to help manage, monitor and give advice to businesses scattered in local tourist spots to better serve tourists and prevent the eco-environment from being affected.
