Dressed up in their traditional costumes, tens of thousands of people of the Miao ethnic group attended a parade on April 25 to celebrate the Miao Sisters Festival in Taijiang county, Qiandongnan Miao and Dong autonomous prefecture, in southwest China's Guizhou province.
Regarded today as the oldest "Valentine's Day" celebrated in China, the Miao Sisters Festival was recognized as a part of the country’s national intangible cultural heritage in 2006. The festival is celebrated annually on around the 15th day of the third lunar month.
