Dehang Miao Village, China

http://www.TravelsWithSheila.com
Dehang is a Miao Village tucked into a river valley in China. Even the poor and dilapidated Miao villages along the way looked charming against the gorgeous scenery. There is a large contingent of Miao ethnic minority people settled in this particular area of Western Hunan with more living in the Provinces of Guizhou, Yunnan and Sichuan.

There is an entrance fee to Dehang and the people were eagerly awaiting what few tourists arrived. There was a small game concession, food being sold and several dances performed by unhappy looking Miao women. The Miao live very difficult and hard lives so who could blame them for a lack of enthusiasm.

@blongsiab Sorry to say I have not. We've been in many Miao villages but, unfortunately, before I had a camcorder. Thanks for watching and commenting.Best regards, Travels With Sheila

@jephboy I agree with you. It is very sad to see how hard they work to survive. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment. Best regards, Travels With Sheila
