Jingpo Ethnic Minority

With strong characteristics, Jingpo is one of the native ethnic minorities mainly living in Dehong prefecture in the west of Yunnan. 

 

On the chest, Jingpo women usually wear dozens of silver bubbles that dazzle and rustle when they move. 

 

The annual Munaozongge Festival of the Jingpos is quite spectacular and joined by tens of thousands. At the festival, people play Tuniang (a kind of Jingpo ethnic wind instrument). Following dance leaders, coupled with loud drumbeats and grand music, people start to dance around four Munao pillars.
