Red Yao Hill Tribe Long Hair Performance at Lonji Longsheng Rice Terrace in Guilin, China (瑤族 - 瑶族)

Red Yao Hill Tribe Long Hair Performance at Lonji Longsheng Rice Terrace in Guilin, China (瑤族 - 瑶族) (龙胜梯田 - 龍勝梯田) Today we are visiting a local hill tribe that just lives a few hours outside of Guilin and we've come here because this community is known for the women's long hair. They grow it out and it's almost a meter and a half long and we're actually going to be watching a performance where they spin their hair and wrap it up and show us how they wear it.

Singing.
Singing and music.
Singing with announcer.
Music and singing.
Music playing.
Chinese singing.
Drumming.
So that was one of the funniest performances to watch because I guess in this culture the women show the men they care for them by pinching their butts, so some foreigners got brought on stage to help demonstrate how things work and they were just having their little buns pinched and it was quite fun to watch.
So Sam, you saw a bit of action today didn't you? I can't remember the last time I had my butt pinched that many times. So as part of the marriage ceremony the participants had to get up on stage and also sing to their brides. Luckily none of them seemed very shy. They did a good job. What if they had chosen you to go up and sing? Hahahaha. I would have butchered it.

It's not easy to find such a long hair today! Incredible! Thanks for the awesome video! Love it!

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thanks! It was fascinating to see.

[@gwennyx5815]

They are so beautiful... I saw a documentary about their village one year ago and always come back from time to time. Thanks for sharing, guys :3!

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thank you!

[@samanthamitchellprete5646]

When it was wrapped up at first i full on thought they had a hair wrap on....there hair is so silky 😵‍💫

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thanks Maria! It's quite a spectacle. Even up close it seems surreal.

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thanks! It's incredibly long - it looks almost surreal!

[@madlindeblois510]

They are beautiful ladies

[@samuelandaudrey]

That's a great question! I can imagine it would take a while ;)

[@samuelandaudrey]

They're from the Huangluo Yao Village.

[@originalartworks2735]

The real hair in the world. No fake beauty, no synthetic, no wigs. They are all real beauties!!!

[@user-eh1ku3id7s]

awesome

[@samuelandaudrey]

Thank you!

[@sbashirq]

Did any one notice the hand of the lady when they were moving in the circle or did I look at it wrong?

[@BIGNICKELL1]

What is the name of that village outside of Guilin?

[@samuelandaudrey]

Yeah, I can't imagine how it would feel to turn your neck with hair that long.

[@charlesli2951]

They actually coil those hairs up and literally using it as a hat!

[@ayngelina]

I was thinking how heavy it must be!

[@arioctober]

it actually wouldn't be all that heavy, they all seem to have thinner hair. Really thick hair can be heavy but a lot of super-long hair actually doesn't have much weight at all because most people have thin to medium hair.

[@michalvargic9178]

knows someone what is the song playing from time 0:44 to 1:44 in the video? I like it very much but until now unsuccesfull discovering more anout it. Thanks. Radoslav

[@radoslavvargic7757]

What is the music from 0:46 to 1:40 ??? Who can help to point me further? Thanks in advance. Radoslav.

[@mdhotrod1]

I was wondering do they wash their hair everyday?

[@lupevalencia4089]

Debbie Jamison they wash their hair with rice water every couple of days.

[@chl_o.e_r]

They wash it every 3 days with rice water and spring water

[@saintjay8058]

[@darlingpeach6259]

[@user-ht5rz6rw9r]

ايووو هذه شعر لو قماش

[@burntbronz]

[@user-sk3lg9bi6f]

มีคนเมี่ยนประเทศไทยดูบ้างไหม

[@MsEliteForever]

Singing,spinning a wooden wheel and pulling hair?

[@MsEliteForever]

And if someone cut their hair off do they get kicked out?

[@shenraypetersen9036]

Wow

[@chl_o.e_r]

@@MsEliteForever no, they cut their hair at the age of 17/18 as a sign of entering womanhood.

[@stephanies3862]

1:51-1:55. These women being perverts Lol

[@paradisesunriseyoga]

Scottish people got the music and kilts from these ladies...

[@brittanijohnson7495]

No, they actually didn’t. Strange how similar it looks and sounds though, huh?

[@hemanthnayak403]

#1:51 LAMO 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣😁😁😁

[@charlesli2951]

Apparently this is their unique way to kinda show appreciation or something like that! I actually went up there myself and I had so many bad memories about this show, and this is definitely one of the bad memories! I didn't understand their tradition so that I tried to dodge these "attacks", but anyways I don't like it even if I did understand this weird tradition!

[@charlesli2951]

I do feel bad for those males that do not understand this!

[@iumienh1300]
