Guangxi celebrating grand ethnic festival with influx of tourists

China Daily  

In Guangxi, March 3 of the lunar calendar, or "Sanyuesan," has been an important occasion to sing in the antiphonal style to find love, to worship ancestors and pray for a good harvest. With romantic songs, bamboo stick dances and five-color glutinous rice, ethnic groups in south China's Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region are ushering in a particularly lively "March 3 Festival" this year. Listed as a national intangible cultural heritage and a statutory holiday in Guangxi in 2014, the Sanyuesan Festival usually ushers in a tourist high season with its showcasing of colorful ethnic diversity. We expect a particularly busy holiday so we also hired three other villagers as helpers," said Wu Junyi, a Mulao ethnic villager in Mianhua Village, Luocheng Mulao Autonomous County.
