Did you know that China is super diverse? There are so many different ethnicities in China. China has 56 ethnic groups, with Han being the largest, consisting of 91% of the population!
During the two-week travel seminar, I spent time studying how ethnic minorities in China find their place amongst a large society, and how ethnic people have come to develop their culture and ways of living over time. Most ethnic minority groups live in villages, which is extremely different than life in the city or in the town.
Yunnan Province, located in Southwest China, is the most diverse province in the country. It consists of 26 out of the total 56 ethnic groups. At the beginning of the seminar, I was able to experience the life of the Bai ethnic group in the village of Xi Zhou. The video below will show photos I shot of everyday life in that particular Bai village. Through these photos, I hope you will gain a better understanding of what life looks like in a Bai village. Enjoy!
