This is a close-up photo of a Dong woman taken in the market in Sanjiang, Guangxi, China in 1993. There were hundreds of women and a few men dressed in traditional costumes who had come from the surrounding villages to the market to buy and sell produce. Some were barefoot and some carried produce in baskets suspended from a pole across their shoulders. In the villages there were no cars and only people on foot.
You can see the beautiful jewellery that the women wore - a silver hairpin and elegant earrings.
In Sanjiang we met a Japanese photographer who was doing a study of the Dong people but he was a bit aggressive with his photo taking and stuck his camera in their faces. Not nice!
