History

Like the Mountain Ramp Festival, the Sister Meal Festival (also called the "Sisters" or "Sister Rice Festival") is a way for young Miao men and women to match up for marriage. Although exact dates and customs vary between towns and villages in Guizhou Province, the festival commonly occurs in the Spring on the fifteenth day of the third lunar month. Activities such as bullfighting, singing, dancing, and drinking rice wine make the festival increasingly popular with tourists in Southwest China.
