Guangxi
These towering karst formations near Guilin form one of China's most iconic natural landscapes, having long inspired Tang dynasty poets, Song-era painters, and contemporary travelers alike.
The Zhuang people are primarily located in the western two-thirds of the Guangxi autonomous region. Within this area, they typically inhabit the plains and river valleys of the hilly western landscape, where they engage in wet-rice cultivation.12
While the Zhuang are the largest ethnic minority in the region, their settlement patterns contrast with those of the Han Chinese, who are concentrated in the eastern third of Guangxi.1
