Where do you think this photo was taken What is happening in this photo
The photo is of a 1,000-Person-Long-Table Banquet(千人长桌宴) in the Miao Stockade village(苗寨) of One Thousand Households in Leishan, Guizhou. This feast has a tradition dating back over 1,000 years and is usually held for marriage celebrations and festivals. While traditionally it is a local family affair, in modern times this feast has sometimes been held on national holidays so that tourists can take part and enjoy the Miao culture.
The foods are all Miao delicacies, and include lamb, pork, beef, chicken, freshwater fish, and tofu dishes. The Miao are one of the largest ethnic minority groups in China. Nearly half live in mountain villages in Guizhou. They are famous for their traditional costumes, which include large silver headdresses for the women.

In addition, there are numerous cooking styles that are associated with ethnic minorities.
