Just got back from a trip to Guilin. Thought I would share my favourite shot of the trip. This woman is 75 years old, of the Yao ethnic minority in China. Her hair fully extended almost touches the ground.

Is her hair real? Is that part of her culture or just something that she did?

Yup it's real and part of the culture! Every single woman in their village has hair like that.

Very nice capture. Found this thread after posting in the old 30D thread, noticed you haven't been around much, bounced over here.
