Till now Xinjiang girls covering their face with cloth?

What are the differences between Dong & Doingxiang? Are they Muslim?

Thanks for your post

Most of Xinjiang people are muslims, so it is preferred that grils have veil. But it's not that strict.

The Dong lives primarily in the border regions between Guizhou, Hunan and Hubei Provinces, and it was during the Tang Dynasty (618-907) that this nationality separated from the mixed ethnic minority 'Bai Yue', naming themselves Dong. Now their population is 2,960,293. Their language is a branch of Zhuang-Dong Group of the Sino-Tibetan phylum though many of them also speak Chinese.

The Dongxiang people derived their name from their native region - Dongxiang. Today, numbering 513,805, they mainly inhabit the Dongxiang Autonomous County in Gansu, with a small number in Xinjiang and Ningxia.



See details at http://www.travelchinaguide.com/intro/nationality/56list.htm. I find it is a very detailed explaination.
