A nice hat/head-wrap combination spotted in a market in a little town on our way out of Yunnan.

Many of the women in this small-town market on our way out of Yunnan were dressed like the ethnic minorities we've seen elsewhere in the province, but we were told everyone was Han Chinese. Either someone gave us incorrect information (which happens all the time), or these people are impostors!

Photo: It’s Not Like the Movies
Kinda looks like a scene from a horror movie. We've had some mighty dreary days lately, despite the fact that Guangxi, Yunnan and Guizhou are all severe drought areas lately. This woman is carrying a small sickle, a ubiquitous tool stuffed into the belts of nearly all the Zhuang women we see walking down the roads of Guangxi.
