The old trails project attempts to find an integrated solution that both revives the old trails and creates a sustainable form of tourism in Zhonglu. By introducing eco-tourism to Zhonglu, Dragon Expeditions wishes to empower local community members, especially women, to find viable livelihoods within their own village, and to support villagers explore and share effective ways of sustainable development.
