Dance extravaganza flaunts national cultural diversity

Dancers give a traditional Qiang ethnic group performance on July 8, 2017. With a population of over 300,000, the Qiang people mostly dwell in hilly and stream-crisscrossed areas in Sichuan province. The Qiang often wear gowns made of cotton and silk layered with sleeveless sheepskin jackets. They are known for their work songs and their dances are accompanied by musical instruments such as gongs, tambourines, and bamboo flutes. [Photo/Xinhua]
