What to expect at the Jinzhu Zhuang Village

You may appreciate the different dancing show. Local ladies wear a straw mask and tie straw skirt around the waist to present the baptism dance in ancient times which was performed at the adult ceremony for Zhuang girls. Shoulder Pole Dance demonstrates the procedures from transplanting rice seedlings, harvesting the ripe rice, to threshing and thrashing the rice. At the dancing and singing square, villagers also present the Shigong Ritual Dance, one-of-a-kind wedding ceremony and interesting game of throwing the silk ball.
If you are lucky enough, you’ll see local men villagers building the stilted house through the traditional way with wood in the village.
