Where life is one long epic song

Endless fields of rapeseed flowers in full bloom are not the only attractions of Luoping, in eastern Yunnan province.

Visitors can also get a close look at the Bouyei people, who have lived in Luoping since the Spring and Autumn Period (770-476 BC).

The Bouyei have no written language, so traditions are passed on orally through songs. For instance Bouyei Muo Jing (Epic of Bouyei) is an ancient song that describes the origin and evolution of this ethnic group, their lifestyle and major historical events.
