A lot of nationalities...

In China, there are the Mongols and Daur, who still lead a nomadic, herdsmen life; Hui, a Muslim Chinese folk scattered throughout the central provinces; Uyghurs, a Turkic Muslim people from Xinjiang; Zhuang, the largest ethnic minority in China around Guangxi; the Maio mainly in Western Hunan/Eastern Guizhou; Yi; Bouyei; Dong; Yao; Hani; Li; Dai; Dongxiang; Naxi; Jingpo; Maonan; Xibe; Nu; Yugur …but to name a few! Most of these can be found scattered throughout ‘mainland’ China with traditional village lifestyles, colourful headdresses and still maintaining peculiar yet fascinating festivals and a distinctive way of life. The largest ethnic minority are the Mongolians (4,802,40001) and the smallest the Gaoshan of Taiwan (2,9001).

Nearly all of the ethnic groups mentioned above, and others unmentioned, have similar facial features, languages, traditional dress, and indeed, habits and greetings. However, it would be fair to assume that most of the world regards China as being of one particular ethnicity: Han. And they are by far the most populous ethnicity in China who can be found in all regions in large numbers.

This site therefore, focuses not on small, isolated minorities but on the mainstream Han lifestyle that you’ll most likely be surrounded by on a prolonged or just a short visit to the People’s Republic of China (PRC).
