April 25th - Miao Sister's Meal Festival at Shidong, Kaili

It's probably the most stunning of all costume shows on earth !

We walked pass this poultry market with all the fear of H7N9 in our head !

A gallery of Miao costumes.

Maio sticky rice, in natural dyes. 

Miao batik.

This young man is about to drink from the cup of which a gold fish is swimming it.  Don't think it's going to taste very nice !

I am not giving you the fish!



Getting ready for the parade.





These three siblings (I think) hold on to each other's hand everywhere they go.  So cute.  Must be a strict instruction from the parents.











Little Empress comes to town !
I think the shoulder bag definitely completes the look.








Posh !

And here they come, at last !








Chips - the international cuisine !





I am sure this jacket will fit better next year !











Please tell me which is my thumb ?
This one ?

Hey, wait !  I wanna a fish.



Yes, they all are silver!  Miao girls love their silver.
Casino in its original form!




Intruders ?









Despite the many little ones that had been dragged to the festival by their parents, there were hardly any crying or screaming kids.  I remember only seeing one.




They had hours of fun on this little truck.

  2. Don't be surprised, I only bought a silver ring and nothing else. There are plenty of embroideries around but expensive too.
