The research-fellows of my academy ( Chinese Academy of Social sciences ) made a trip to ethnic minority of Dong and Yao in central-southern part of China, i.e. Guizhou Province. They took a lot of photos displaying their unique mode of the ethnic colorful life.  Here I posted some of their works that might promote the readers to understand the unique way of life.  

See the photos below:
