Visit to minority area of Guizhou Province





One of my clients just returned from a trip to the minority area (Mainly Miao and Dong minority) of Guizhou province, southwest China. He was impressed
by the harmony relationships between neighbors. Local people take care of each others. The client wrote:” It was in stark contrast with what we heard in the Hong Kong airport about the USA, reports of Americans buying guns in record numbers to protect their goods during the current economic downturn”.

I recalled my trip to the same area in 2006. We visited the unique sheltered bridges and drum towers of Dong people. We even attended the New Year celebration of local Miao people in a small village. The Miao people are famous for their traditional costume. All the female will dress in traditional costume.



We visited many villages of either Miao or Dong people, all those local people lived peacefully. They all have a strong awareness of the importance of environmental protection. They pursue harmony between the man and the nature. To keep the balance between population and nature resource
, they even take some measures to control the growth of population.
