Hi! nice photos ! I'm a girl from Beijing and have been there last October.How did you take the wonderful pictures in the Cave? I tried many times and they all turned out to be blurred. I have been to Guilin then to Yangshuo and Longsheng. The longhair women are of Yao minority ethnic groups. They are "Red Yao"----a branch of the Yao.They wear vivid pink clothes. Singing is the Southeast minority people's custom.Since they live in the mountain area they can convey their feelings and emotions by singing.The majority people of Han don't have the customs. My mother had sit on the chair and I took a photo for her.I felt a little afraid so I didn't sit on it to pose for a picture.Poor German couple!
