Two ethnic Yao girls smile as they help each other to adjust their new traditional dresses in a celebration in Badu village of Tianlin County, southwest China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, December 29, 2001. The Yao people are now more colorfully dressed as they have become more well-to-do.
The Yaos, with a population of 2.13 million, live in mountain communities scattered over 130 counties in five south China provinces and one autonomous region. About 70 per cent of them live in the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, the rest in Hunan, Yunnan, Guangdong, Guizhou and Jiangxi provinces.
