The hair-swinging dance makes a distinctive feature of the Wa people in Ximeng county, southwest Yunnan’s Pu'er city.
The dancers' jet-black hair swings vigorously with their moves—flying side to side or swaying back and forth. The dance is accompanied by beats of the Wa drum, creating a dynamic vibe.
The ox head holds special significance in Wa culture. It is a totem of the Wa people, symbolizing wealth and happiness.
