Ming Reenactors from 2018 Hailongtun International Armor Cultural Festival 2018 海龙屯甲胄文化节

Before I began I would like to thank Wankewei.net and SixTone for publishing many

of the images you see- which are courtesy of the Armor Alliance. It is my wish to both let people know of their contents and perhaps broaden their article's reach in the English speaking world through my microblogging. If you want to see more of these images and read about the amazing festival in detaill, or if you want to see how you can attend the event, please go to their site and check out their full length articles. My blog, as always should be a springboard for tangential learning, and I sincerely hope that your interests have been piqued by something that (hopefully) you have not seen before. 

The Hailongtun 海龙屯 Festival is located in Zunyi, Guizhou province in southern China. It name literally means: "Sea Dragon Castle") and the site is a ruined fortress on the Longyan Mountain, in Hailongtun Village, Hailongtun was established in 1257 during the Southern Song dynasty. It served as the stronghold of the Bozhou Tusi (native minority chiefdom), ruled by the native Yang family. The landscape around Hailongtun's tourist area and Qiandongnan Miao and Dong Autonomous Prefecture is also one of the most scenic in China. With lush- rice terraced hills and ancient villages whose architecture were still kept in tact throughout the 20th and the 21st century.
