Dong people


The Dong (Chinese: 侗族 Dòng Zú, own name: Gaeml, or Kam) people are an ethnic group. They form one of the 56 ethnic groups officially recognized by the People's Republic of China, and are famed for their unique architecture, in particular a form of covered bridge known as the "wind and rain bridge" (Chinese: 风雨桥).

They live mostly in the Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region and Guizhou province of China.
