尋找中國民族 
Searching for ethnic groups in China 

Through travelling, I was fortunate enough to come across and learn a bit about some of the many different cultures around the world. This is one of the most enriching experience anyone can have. The more I learn about their way of life however, the more I became aware of how little I knew about the different ethnic groups in China.

Hence the beginning of this personal quest: to search for, encounter with, and learn more about the ethnic groups in China. (start year: 2013)
