De'e

De'e (德峨乡村; pinyin: Dé'é Xiāngcūn) is a village in the Longlin Various Nationalities Autonomous County, under the jurisdiction of the prefecture-level city of Baise, in western Guangxi, China, near the border with Yunnan and Guizhou. It is inhabited by several ethnic minorities, including the Miao, Yi, Gelao, and Zhuang. Ethnic minorities account for 93.6 percent of the village's population.[1]

Each year, at the beginning of the lunar new year, the Tiapo Festival (跳坡节; pinyin: Tiàopō Jié; literally "leaping on the hillsides festival"), a Miao festival featuring the music and dance, is held.[2][3] Other nationalities living in the area, including the Yi, Gelao, Zhuang, and Han, also participate in this festival.
