Shuang Yan of Beijing makes a Lord Rabbit sculpture, a popular ornament for the upcoming Mid-Autumn Festival. Shuang, born in 1958, learned to make clay figures of Lord Rabbit from his father at age 7. Lord Rabbit is a mythical creature said to have been sent down from the moon to bring good health and safety. Many people today still worship Lord Rabbit at the Mid-Autumn Festival, which falls on the 15th day of the 8th lunar month, or Sept. 15 this year. Shuang said it’s hard to know clearly when the tradition started, but it certainly became popular in the Ming (1368-1644) and Qing (1644-1911) dynasties. Today many of the materials used to make Lord Rabbit are hard to find, he said. (Photo: China News Service/Fu Tian)

The basket backpackers in Enshi Grand Canyon scenic area in Central China's Hubei province could be a best example of how humans can add more color to the natural wonder.

As many parents take their children to that scenic area during the vacations, some locals have invented a new business of carrying the child tourists in their back baskets through the steep mountains.

There are 34 basket carriers in total, most of whom are women. They charge 320 yuan ($48) for a whole trip of four mountains. Children under 10 and weighing less 30 kg are carried by women and children over 40 kg by men. They can on average make 2,000 to 3,000 yuan per month.

All of them are employed by a company set up in 2015.
