Click on thumbnail for photogallery

A gallery of photos taken on 12 October 2000 in Chang Tion village, Cheng Guan township, Puding county, Guizhou province.  It was originally a White Miao village but we saw Side Comb Miao costume and that influenced by Red Hat Miao.  The village can only be reached by boat on Ye Lang Hu Reservoir which was completed in 1997 and the valley flooded.  Some of the houses still had thatched roofs with wattle and daub walls although others were of local stone.  We met a small group of women dressed in festival costume to welcome us and they showed us stripping ramie from the twig and splicing it as well as embroidery and a weaving loom. top
