In fact, dried bean curd is not the focus of the entire Daxi community. It is just more famous than other local businesses. Tourism drives dried bean curd to become a popular gift. Daxi Dried Bean Curd is not a particularly important business in Daxi. It is just a food item being processed and displayed for sale. Because of the invention of the small package of the tasty dried bean curd that can be easily carried with, it becomes the favorite. Its economic value is not superior to the wood industry, which is more technical. In the past, people came to Daxi and then bought dried bean curd just for the convenience of proximity, so they did not affect the entire Daxi. The dried bean curd later becoming popular was because of Cihu. The number of visitors has increased, and they want to bring a gift home. Thus, it can be said that Cihu has helped drive the popularity of dried bean curd.

The transition from agriculture to sightseeing attracts tourists to Daxi and they want to consume. This is the advantage of Daxi Dried Bean Curd, which has become a representative of Daxi. Of course, there are other activities including religious events. For example, on June 24th, there will be an event for Saintly Emperor Guan parading around the border of Daxi.
