This is really a cool shot.

I know you travel, but I would have liked getting some more information about the Naxi dancers, Has to be seen large, very nice colorful ethnic costumes., and I like the way they are holdoing their hands. Good documentation, of a very different culture.( Far East? I remember seeing something similar while being in Burma) )

Thank you all for your continued support, it's very much appreciated.

Pnina, the Naxi Ethnic group has a population of over 250,000 people. It is divided into two dialect groups. An eastern one and a western one located in the Chinese provinces of Yunnan, Sichuan, and Tibet. One of the unique features of the Naxi minority group is its written language. It includes over 1,400 single characters and is considered unique "living pictographs". They are the only living people to use hieroglyphics in the world.

Naxi women's clothing typically comes in black, white, or blue and is embroidered with flower patterns on the collars, sleeves, and front. Over their shoulders they wear a sheep skin cape with seven round embroidered discs representing seven stars. The cape is used to prevent chafing when carrying their baskets on their backs. The Naxi people’s music and dance are world famous. Visitors wandering along the ancient streets and alleyways of Lijiang's Old Town, will undoubtedly hear the wonderful Naxi Ancient music. After over 500 years of evolution, Naxi ancient music has developed its own unique style. It is a blending of Taoist and Confucian ritual songs. Played on traditional Chinese music, Naxi music is said to have the power to cleanse the heart, and relax the mind.

Thank you very much indeed, Anabela
