Bai People 白族


The Bai people have been living in this part of the country for millenniums so it's understandable for them to build their structures to last. And last they do, sometimes for a thousand years.

Hani People 哈尼族


Yuanyang County 元阳县 is located within Hónghé Hani and Yi Autonomous Prefecture in southern Yunna province, along the Red River not too far north of the border of Vietnam. It is well-known for its spectacular rice-paddy terracing and the home of Hani 哈尼族 minority people in China.


Between the harsh contours of the mountain valleys lie many Hai villages and their treasured rice terraces. One can easily get lost if one doesn't know the way around.

Hani People 哈尼族


Hani People 哈尼族, numbered about 1.5 million, is one of the 56 official recognized ethnic groups in China. They are mostly live in Yuxi, Pu'er Prefectures and Honghe Hani & Yi Autonomous Prefecture in Yunnan. There are about 12,500 Hani live in Vietnam and also are officially recognized as one of the 54 ethnic group. The Hani believe they were once belonged to the Yi 50 generations ago, that's why both of their cultures and ordinary everyday lives are quite similar.

The Hani are polytheists and they profess a special adoration toward the spirits of their ancestors. They are used to practicing rituals to venerate to the different gods and thus to obtain their protection. Some Hani adopt Theravada Buddhism. The Hani language spoken by many of the Hani is of the Yi branch of the Sino-Tibetan language family. Oral tradition tells of an ancient written script,which says it was lost on the migration from Sichuan. They now use a romanization of the Luchun dialect as a written script.

Kazakh People 哈薩克族


Kazakh People 哈薩克族 are a Turkic people of Eastern Europe and the northern parts of Central Asia (largely Kazakhstan, but also found in parts of Uzbekistan, China, Russia, and Mongolia). Kazakhs are descendants of the Turkic tribes - Argyns, Khazars, Qarluqs; and of the Kipchaks and Cumans, Mongolic groups (Kiyat, Dughlat, Naimans, Kerait, Onggirat, Manghud, Jalayir) and other tribes such as the Kankalis, and ancient Iranic nomads like the Sarmatians, Saka and Scythians. Kazakhs populated the territory between Siberia and the Black Sea and remained in Central Asia and Eastern Europe when the nomadic groups started to invade and conquer the area between the 5th and 13th centuries AD.

The Kazakh language is belongs to the Kipchak (Northwestern) group of the Turkic language family. Kazakh was written with the Arabic script during the 19th century but changed to Latin alphabets in recent decades. However the Chinese Kazakh retain the usage of Arabic scripts. Kazakhs has preserved the folk tales of a creation god Jasagnan. Ancestors of modern Kazakhs believed in Shamanism and Tengrism, then Zoroastrianism, Buddhism and Christianity Church of the East. In the late 14th century, the Golden Horde propagated Islam amongst the Kazakhs and other tribes but was discouraged by the Czar Russia and the Soviet. Since the fall of the Soviet Union the Kazakhs have gradually employed a determined effort in revitalizing Islamic religious institutions.

There are about 1.7 million Kazakhs living in China, mostly in Ili Kazakh Autonomous Prefecture, Mori Kazakh Autonomous County and Barkol Kazakh Autonomous County in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region; and Aksai Kazakh Autonomous County in Gansu. The Chinese Kazakhs speak two dialects of the Kazakh language and use the modified Arabic scripts.
