Weltberühmt ist Huangluo, ein malerisches Dorf in China, in dem die Frauen mit den längsten Haaren der Welt leben. Bis 2,10 Meter Länge messen ihre Haare, die angeblich ohne künstliche Mittel tiefschwarz bleiben – und das bis ins hohe Alter. Die traditionellen Yao-Frauen glauben, dass ihre Ahnen in ihren Haaren weiterleben und sie deshalb nicht eines davon abschneiden dürfen.
In the south of China, about 700 km northwest of Hong Kong, lie the famous rice terraces created by indigenous minorities, such as the Yao, Miao and Dong. They still try to live in harmony with nature and save their old customs and traditions into the 21st century. In the "Rapunzeltown" Huang Luo it is the Yao women who have succeeded in inspiring tourists for their simple village life. The ancient settlement is known across China as the “Long Hair Village” and is even recognised by the Guinness world book of records as the “world’s longest hair village”. The women grow their hair up to 2.1 meters (6.8 feet) long.
