Guanyin Embroidery, a traditional tourist craft of Suining, was created by Huang Haiyan, a local craftswoman. Based on Sichuan embroidery, it integrates techniques of Suzhou embroidery, Cantonese embroidery and other styles. This craft mainly depicts the profound Guanyin culture through exquisite stitching.

What started as a small Guanyin Embroidery Art Workshop has now grown into efforts to build Suining into a folk culture hometown for Guanyin Embroidery and construct a folk culture exhibition park for the craft. Today, Guanyin Embroidery has become a well-known local brand of Suining.
