Rice steamed in bamboo seems to be a local custom here. In fact, I had some for lunch whilst in Ping'an that came with some vegetables and was very sticky and quite difficult to remove from the bamboo and eat. They split the bamboo in half for you. You'll see women cooking bamboo in Ping'an.

The Yao women are very famous for having incredibly long hair which can measure up to 2.1m in length. Reason for it to be so long is that they only have their hair cut twice throughout their lives - once when they turn 18 and once again when they get married which is when they finally reveal it to the public, which you'll get to see. You'll notice that the younger girls have their hair covered by a black hat.

What once had cultural significance, now must still retain some, to put up with the annoyance and maintenance, but still relies heavily on the tourist dollar for purpose. If you don't need a photo of their hair, they may also try to guide you, which can be helpful, of course, if you don't know where you're going.

Yao woman's typical character is her long and big ear piercing with heavy silver ear ring. Most of them is very nice lady and say hello to you when passing by. Their hair is so long and tie up with black cloths, but young generation doesn't like this costume. I seldom saw a young Yao woman wear dress like this. It's a pity.

Check out this picture. The roof tiles were laid on the roof without nails or cement. They start from the bottom and work very quickly up to the ridge of the rook. I suppose the weight of the tile will prevent them from flying off the roof.

These particular Zhuang women wanted me to pay them to 'let their hair down' but after seeing the women doing the same in Huanglao, I declined their offer even though they were quite demanding.

The Yao women also wear vibrant clothing, contrasting the earth tones of their more nature-based lives. Hot pink is the order of the day!
