Fujian
River in the Wuyi Mountains, Fujian province, China.
The largest ethnic minority group in the province of Fujian is the She people, who are also known as Ho Ne or Huonie.1
The She are primarily distributed throughout the hilly hinterland of Fujian's northern coast, with significant populations located in the Ningde area, including Fuāan, Xiapu, and Fuding. While they are culturally affiliated with the Miao and Yao peoples, most She are now thoroughly Sinicized and primarily speak Chinese. Other minority groups residing in the province include the Miao, Hui, and Manchu.12
