Unlocking Chinese Cities | Dong Ethnic Grand Song from Liping County captivates the world

(ECNS) -- As Ne Zha 2 dazzles global audiences, the soundtrack accompanying the "Baolian in Full Bloom" scene is mesmerizing. The music comes from the Grand Song of the Dong ethnic group in Guizhou Province. Home to China’s largest Dong population, Liping County has preserved a 2,500-year-old musical tradition, earning it the title "Hometown of the Dong Grand Song."

In recent years, Liping’s Zhaoxing Dong Village has infused Dong ethnic song culture into rural tourism. Visitors are drawn to interactive experiences like the "Dong Song Trail," themed stays at "Melodic Homestays," and lively nighttime performances of the "Grand Feast of Songs." This ancient sound continues to echo in a new era of cultural dialogue.
