The people of Hani Nationality belong to an ancient ethnic group who live in the deep mountains of Yuanyang county, Honghe Hani and Yi nationality autonomous prefecture of Yunnan. Yuanyang is famous throughout the whole China for its "terraced rice fields"- no matter how high the mountain is, the fields will not run out of water. When the new year and the festivals come to the Hani villages, families will put their dinner tables together along the main streets and offer their best dishes to the "street feast". They enjoy the feast together, drinking "one heart wine". Everybody is happy and the atmosphere is warm and lively. Such "street feast" reflects the Hani people's tradition of loving and helping each other. bYFwww.Chinakindnesstour.com
