Chinese minority Dai ethnic group lives in southern part of Yunnan province. Gan Bai is a big event after harvest day; it’s similar to “going to town fair”. Except a lot of delicious Dai food there are also a lot of entertainments activities such as girls Gayang dance, boys elephant foot drum dance. Boys and girls also take advantage of Gan Bai to meet each other and find their love, too. In Gan Bai, boys are playing elephant foot drums and dancing, competing girls’ attention while girls holding their little red umbrella shyly woos and awes. Behind their hesitated umbrellas, hidings are the girls’ eagerness and amour.
