There happened to be an important official in the Xiaohuang Dong Village on that day, so many people rushed there to welcome this important person. The ceremony was just over when we arrived, suddenly, it rained heavily, so the mothers were all running in the rain with their children.

Looked at the mother led their children in the street, I thought of the Dong customs, such as the blind date, wedding festival, or other similar activities, I guess most ideas of these activities are come from them.


Em... the management is rather good, there are even people doing statistics.



Most of the usual Dong dresses are blue and simple look, but the dresses are much pretty and beautiful on holiday or festival.

Silver is beautiful with multi-pattern.

The men’s trousers are Dong cloth.

Look at the silver lock behind them.






These women have attended some big performances, and this month they will go to Spanish for a show this month.

Some scientists believe that it is plants impacting outside the universe that come into being the Taihu Lake, Yangcheng Lake, Lake, Jinji Lake, and so Hudang, forming today's Yangtze River Delta.

Nevertheless, many people including the locals and people from other places love to come to yuantouzhu still. Yuantouzhu refers to an island north of Taihu Lake.



The scenery in Yuantouzhu is good, with trees on the two sides of the road.

Flowers here and there.

Plants grow on the side of pond.
