Diverse China

Ethnic Mongol. Image from China Hush.

An interesting gallery of family portraits of the 56 ethnic groups in China. With traditional dress, instruments, and sometimes even animals, these pictures really show the ethnic and cultural diversity in a place that we often see as a single, uniform country. The differences in dress also demonstrate the climatic and geographic diversity of the country.

The images are from the book, “Harmonious China: A Sketch of China’s 56 Ethnicities” by photographer Chen Haiwen. Smaller sized images are posted at chinahush.com.
