The diligent and intelligent people of different
nationalities in Honghe prefecture have created the colorful and
splendid minority culture during the long history. Different
ethnic minorities have different housing, costumes and courtesy.
The unique wedding ceremony, the magnificent view of the terraces
of rice-fields, the fluyingmillsvig "Gezaza", the crowded "Zalete",
touring in flower mountains, the tobacco-box dance and the happu "Axi"
dance in moonlight are all full of poetic charm and a painting
grace of nationalities' customs in south Yunnan.
The terrace fields, a wonder among the Ailao
mountains, are like numerous silver ladders, climbing from the
bottom of the mountains to the top. They are not the natural gifts
but the carvings done by the generations of the intelligent Hani
minorities.
