Travel on a 1200-mile journey which captures the customs of these two ethnic tribes before their cultures irrevocably change and disappear. In an area rarely visited by Westerners, you get a privileged view of the markets and witness the music and dance at festivals where couples meet. You find out why, in the courtship ritual, a boy would rather receive a pair of red chopsticks than a packet of pine needles or chili. Experience the raw beauty of steep limestone rock formations which contrasts with networks of shimmering emerald rice terraces. Trek through magnificent covered bridges, the hallmark of Dong architecture, and learn the secret of the famous indigo blue cloth.
Observe the unique Miao and Dong tribes. Before traditional values and lifestyles are discarded, gather your “passport” to glimpse a vanishing culture!
