Mulam ethnic group

Inhabiting Guangxi, the mountainous area in which the Mulam people live provides excellent growing conditions for rice, which is their primary crop. Coal excavation provides work for so many Mulam people that their town is called 'Town of Coal'.

In addition, the Mulam people are quite good at iron forging and pottery making, especially the casting of knives, an art they have been practicing for hundreds of years.
