This study examines sustainable development strategies tailored for Chinese ethnic regions, acknowledging their unique cultural, environmental, and socio-economic characteristics. Through a multidisciplinary approach, the research delves into the complex interplay between economic growth, cultural preservation, environmental conservation, and social equity in these regions. Drawing on empirical data and case studies, the study identifies key challenges and opportunities for sustainable development, highlighting the need for context-specific approaches that respect local cultures and empower indigenous communities. The findings contribute to a deeper understanding of sustainable development dynamics in Chinese ethnic regions and offer actionable insights for policymakers, planners, and stakeholders striving to promote inclusive and resilient development in these diverse and dynamic areas.
