Features: China is a multi-ethnic country with 56 ethnic groups. Due to differences in geographical distribution and cultural development, many ethnic minorities have strong national characteristics and unique cultural charm in aspects such as labor methods, daily life, clothing styles, marriage and funeral customs, festivals, architectural styles, writing systems, and religious beliefs, collectively forming a colorful and splendid tapestry of ethnic customs. "China Ethnic Minority Folk Custom Travel Series" is a set of travel culture knowledge books that integrate history, culture, and geography. Each volume introduces one ethnic minority, not only comprehensively describing the cultural origins and historical heritage of that minority but also providing detailed introductions to the scenic spots in its main residential areas, along with the latest travel information on accommodation, transportation, and shopping. The historical and cultural sections of the series are written by renowned ethnic scholars from the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, while the travel information sections are fully supported by local tourism authorities. The content is novel and unique, rich in information, with vivid and fluent writing, accompanied by illustrations, making it convenient and practical.
This book mainly introduces the names and origins of various ethnic groups, the architectural characteristics of their main residential areas, cultural relics, local customs, specialty foods, and accommodation options. Currently, most travel books on the market are organized by geographical locations, while those focusing on folk customs are virtually non-existent.
