The village has attracted international attention for being a long time centre for meth and ketamine production, and has been called "China’s number one drug village" and "the Breaking Bad village" by the international press, and was nicknamed "The Fortress" by locals. Chinese authorities successfully raided it in December 2013, but drug production in the village has continued.
