Open daily from 8:30h – 17:30h, it is located in a typical rural Baisha Village Naxi courtyard, with an overall area of more than 800 square meters. The rooms and courtyard are not only used for teaching traditional embroidery but also to show finished works of art. The school was founded by the embroidery master Peng Ping. His main purpose with founding the school was to help local minority women learning embroidery and producing beautiful handicraft in order to solve poverty problems.
