Try Sanjiang Dong Banquet and taste Sanjiang Song and Dance.

On the afternoon of July 8, I saw the Millennium Dong Village, and then went to Sanjiang County, Xizhou City by bus. Sanjiang Dong Family Banquet Dinner will be held in the Long Corridor Hall of Dong Banquet Hotel. In Sanjiang County, Liuzhou, the most important thing to miss is the well-known Dong Bai family banquet. Generally speaking, Bai family banquets are held outdoors or in Gulou Ping of Dongjiazhai. Unfortunately, not this time. Perhaps there are not enough tourists this time, or perhaps there are still no traditional festivals of the Dong nationality, which has lost a lot of rich atmosphere of the Dong nationality and simplified the traditional customs of the Bai family banquet.

Sanjiang Dong family banquet is a unique dietary custom of Dong Qi people, also known as "closed meals" and "long table banquet", which has a history of hundreds of years in Sanjiang Dong people! According to the custom, "eat a hundred banquets, be blessed by a hundred families, and enjoy a hundred years of life."

Whenever special guests visit or celebrate festivals, all families in the village will bring their own alcoholic drinks and vegetables. Together, they went to Gulouping to lay out a long table, eat a hundred meals, and you came and went on the long table, toasting and singing, and chatting at home. The scene is magnificent and lively.

I had a hundred banquets this time, and I was late because a tourist delayed me. Before the banquet began, the Dong girls didn't see an opening song and dance performance completely, only saw the Dong girls and the boys standing together, singing and toasting the tourists in the way of "high mountains and flowing water".

Two long tables were filled with rich home-cooked dishes, all the tourists were present, and the hotel promenade was covered. There are many red oiled paper umbrellas and strings of red lanterns hanging on two long tables, which makes people very happy!

After the banquet, at 7: 30 p.m., the China Dong Township Interactive Art Evening "Dong Listening to Sanjiang" created by Guilin Lv Wen Group was held in the Dong Song Theater of Sanjiang Dong Autonomous County next to Dong Dage Hotel.

Wonderful programs were performed at the party, such as Dong people's singing and dancing, a bowl of Dong family tea for you, the curse of youth love, three wells, rice fragrance, bamboo blessing, the song of December, the wedding bath of Yao's sister, raising officials and so on.

A visual feast that shocked the audience deeply experienced the joy of Dong festivals, the tradition of marriage customs, the diligence of farming, the richness of life and the enthusiasm for hospitality, and showed the national customs and splendid beauty of national culture and art characteristics of Dong people!

After the party, the actors and the audience sang together and held a bonfire party with singing and dancing!
