“A lot of Scarecrows were used to decorate the scenic trails and create the theme tourist areas.” Tang Liang, the vice-general manager of Tiankeng Village Scenic Spot, said that the scenic area has planned a folklore route and 6 straw theme parks. Visitors can experience both the wonderful culture of Tujia and the charm of the scarecrow.

It is said that the six straw theme parks include folk-type scarecrows, children's cartoon-like imaginary scarecrows, and farmer-type scarecrows, to show the Tujia and Miaojia folklore of Tiankeng Village and the traditional farming life scenes. “At that time, children can be in close contact with cartoon characters such as Pig Peggy, Logger Vick, Pleasant Goat, Big Big Wolf, etc. in the scenic area,” Tang Liang said.
