Hani Cultural Themes

The culture of the 1.3 million Hani People living on the mountains of southern Yunnan Province in China is brought to light by means of sharing its stories, proverbs, customs and rituals and thus opening windows of insight into the daily lives of these colorful people. Often called "Mountain Sculptors" because of the magnificent rice terraces they have created for the centuries, the Hani people are here described at a much deeper level than usual.
