On 16th September, a grand ethnic fashion show was unveiled in Wuzhishan City, 
a prominent settlement of the Li and Miao ethnic groups in Hainan. This event 
seamlessly blended tradition and modernity, showcasing the vibrant fusion of 
ethnicity and fashion. People from far and wide, along with local villagers, 
came together to celebrate the ethnic culture and intangible heritage.

In addition to professional models, a special "Village Show" performance team 
consisting of 20 villagers also graced the event. Their presence on stage aimed 
to highlight the lively ethnic culture of the local community and the pristine 
allure of the tropical rainforest in Wuzhishan City. Donning traditional Li 
costumes, as well as outfits inspired by the rainforest's flora, and even 
cycling attire, they brilliantly showcased the region's abundant heritage in a 
truly captivating way, according to the Publicity Department of Wuzhishan 
Municipal Party Committee.

Furthermore, the event showcased a market dedicated to intangible cultural 
heritage. Additionally, a special theme activity highlighting authentic local 
cuisine was also part of the festivities.

The Wuzhishan Ethnic Fashion "Village Show" series of cultural activities 
kicked off on 16th September and is plan to end on 31st October. This event 
serves a threefold purpose: to present an enchanting fashion show that 
beautifully embodies the distinctive ethnic traits for the audience, to promote
