※ This video is part of the May 3, 2010 broadcast of <World Theme Travel - Mysterious Land, Guangxi, China Part 1: Masterpiece of Man and Nature, Longcheng>. The first stop is the land of ethnic minorities, Longcheng. The Longji Titian (龍脊梯田), a double terraced rice field, is one of the rare and beautiful landscapes in China. It is a rugged mountainous region where you cannot find even a single flat piece of land, and it is not easy to find Han Chinese people here. It is a place where you can see a unique ethnic minority culture that is different from Chinese culture. In particular, the Yao people are one of the ethnic minorities that still maintains their unique lifestyle and customs to this day. It is said that Yao women cut their hair once at the age of 18 for their coming-of-age ceremony, and then grow their hair out for the rest of their lives. The reason for this is that women live two lives: as children and as adults. The act of cutting hair is said to mean one death between two lives, which is a unique view of life and death that is rare even on a global scale. Let's follow the day of No Geun-tae, a traveler who traveled to remote areas with an elderly Yao couple who made a connection here in Longsheng, and learn their unique way of sublimating their grief by visiting a village funeral. ✔ Program name: World Theme Travel - Mysterious Land, Guangxi, China Part 1: A Masterpiece of Man and Nature, Longsheng ✔ Broadcast date: 2010.05.03 #TVViewingGolladunDocumentary #WorldThemeTravel #China #EthnicMinorities #YaoPeople #Travel #OverseasTravel
