May Day travel without crowds, "Sanjiang" to learn about Dong culture.

I have always wanted to learn about Chinese culture and explore Chinese trends, to seek the meaning of life and find answers. So, I followed my dad to this small town for a day trip, slowly walking and exploring the streets ♥. This is a Dong ethnic autonomous county, one of the 56 ethnic groups in China. The urban area is not large, but as soon as you step in, you feel like you have returned to your hometown and experience the simplicity of the people. Time seems to pass slowly here. Students and elderly people can be seen everywhere on the streets. Many elderly people gather in the square to play cards, sing and dance, very leisurely and carefree, a simple happiness!
