After breakfast, we will pick you up at your hotel lobby at the specified time.

Along the way there are several distinctive Zhuang and Yao villages, you will visit the special Huangluo Yao village. The Red Yao people live here, and since ancient times, Red Yao women have had the traditional habit of growing long hair, and their long hair, songs and dances, and Red Yao costumes have all become a beautiful folkloric scenery here. If they like to be quiet, sometimes the red Yao girls with long hair will gather at the bank of Jinjiang River to wash their hair together, giving people an original and beautiful visual enjoyment.
