DescriptionAs the Zhuang are the largest of all Chinese ethnic minority groups, there are many variations in the style of their clothing and textiles. For example, the Zhuang in the southeastern part of Yunnan dress in more colorfully adorned clothing than many others of their culture. The Zhuang have a population of approximately 16 million people. The majority of Zhuang reside in two locations, the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region in Guangxi Province and Whenshan Zhuang-Miao Autonomous Prefecture in Yunnan Province.
