Introduction to Sanya Li and Miao Village (三亚黎村苗寨)
Li and Miao People's Village is located in Baoting Li and Miao Autonomous County. Li tribes were originally known by the name Liliao in the Sui Dynasty. They refer to themselves as the Hlai or Sai people. They settled down in Hainan 2,000 years ago. It is said that a Li girl starts to live in her boudoir alone when she is sixteen year old. She is just waiting her true lover to come to her house. There wooden drum, bow and arrows, pestle and mortar, a bamboo basket and shoulder pole, needlework and weaving tools figure out a peaceful life that men till the land and women weave cloth. |
