Girls in Basha (February, 2004)

This was taken in a village called Basha, at the southeastern tip of

Guizhou province (almost at the border with Guangxi Autonomous

Region), China. 100% of Basha's population belong to the Miao ethnic

group, and lead a lifestyle not much different from centuries ago. At

the time of our visit (February, 2004), Basha had only been discovered

by very few tourists, and the residents had definitely not seen many

white people. By now, Basha has become one of Guizhou's main tourist

attractions.
