Kaili is home to over one hundred festivals a year. The most common festival is the lusheng festival held often during spring festiavl and the festival is celebrated by the miao and dong villagers around kaili.
At festival time the miao women wear their stunning sliver jewellery often piling on five or six neck rings at a time as well as chains loins, chest locks and multiple headresses ,silver was originally obtained from melting old coins and girls wear huge horned silver headdresses and crowns with delicate birds and flowers and coins.
festival it's time for the people to get together, provide the opportunity to travel around,socialize,meet friends and kinsfolk and be entertained by singing and the dance. a market is frequently set up during the festival time that allows people to buy much needed goods!
