  Dong

 

China

Members of the Dong people in southern China, lined-up in traditional dress to receive guests into their village.

 

Traditionally, the Dong sing a song to their guests, who in turn have to respond with a song of their own. After this, the bamboo barrier is lifted and the guest are welcomed into the village.
