Abstract

With the construction of a 96.2-kilometer long mud road in 1999, the Dulong ethnic group living in the Dulong River Valley in Nujiang Prefecture, Yunnan Province, China ended its history without roads. Then on April 10, 2014, a tunnel was completed that connects the beautiful valley with the outside world more closely. The construction of this road has big impacts on the ethnic Dulong communities and the ecosystem in the valley. This paper will discuss the history of the road construction in the area, road and development, road and socio-cultural changes of the ethnic Dulong people, road and social resilience.
