The Guangxi Museum

We had time to visit the Guangzi Museum today. There are 56 minorities in China, and 30+ of them live in this area. We saw a lot of examples of the daily lives, clothes, music, and culture.


This was a tea shop.

Luck frogs.

Village house. Strongly influenced by Vietnam.

Opera masks.

Intricate vases and traditional painting.

Sleeping area. Had the dragon and the phoenix like many places in Beijing.


Banana tree

Old and older

Covered bridge with 2 layers. The top layer was for people and business. The bottom was for livestock.

Ceremonies

Blooming in winter.


Inside the covered bridge.
Place to store grain.
