On Mar. 31, two college students, Assima Bissen and Cyrus Huang, from Hainan Lingshui Li'an International Education Innovation Pilot Zone, participated in the celebration of the traditional Li and Miao festival "San Yue San" in Baisha Li Autonomous County, Hainan Province, China.
Assima Bissen, a Kazakh student at the Hainan International Institute of Beijing Language and Culture University, donned traditional Kazakh attire and danced alongside locals. Cyrus Huang, an art major at the Minzu University of China, captivated the crowd with improvised performances using his beloved suona (a traditional Chinese instrument), deeply engaging with Baisha's folk culture.
The third day of the third lunar month marks the traditional "San Yue San" festival of China's Li and Miao ethnic groups, celebrated with vibrant festivities in their cultural heartlands. In these gatherings, communities strengthen ethnic unity and collaboration through antiphonal singing, ancestral rituals, traditional costume displays, and demonstrations of intangible heritage skills like Li brocade weaving, while innovatively bridging traditional culture with modern society.
Nestled in the lush mountains of central Hainan, Baisha Li Autonomous County—renowned as "Hainan's Green Lung" and the hometown of China's earliest spring tea—boasts a tropical climate, dense forests, and rich ethnic traditions. This unique blend of natural beauty and cultural vitality makes it a paradise for nature enthusiasts and cultural explorers.
