What is the Zhuang people Festival?

The Zhuang people, a Tai-speaking ethnic group, primarily reside in China's Guangxi province, also known as the Zhuang Autonomous Region. They also have communities in Yunnan, Guangdong, Guizhou, and Hunan provinces. One of their most significant cultural celebrations is the "Sam Nyied Sam," or the 3rd Day of the 3rd Month Festival, observed according to the Chinese lunar calendar. This vibrant event is marked by traditional music, dance, sports, and unique culinary offerings, reflecting the rich heritage of the Zhuang people.
