Portrait of a Small Flower Miao ethnic minority woman, wearing her traditional clothing, harvesting rice, Gao Yuan village, Guizhou, China. Almost 35% of Guizhou's population is made up of over 18 different ethnic minorities including the Miao. Each Miao group became isolated in these mountainous regions, hence the present day diversity in their culture, costume and dialects. According to a popular saying, "if you meet 100 Miaos, you will see 100 costumes."
