Bayin music of the Li people 黎族八音 of Hainan Island, China

A performance of Baoting Li bayin music (海南保亭黎族八音), a traditional music genre of the Li people (黎族) of Hainan Island (海南省), China. Supposedly the song being performed here is a love song of the Li people (黎族情歌).

Probably filmed at the Hainan Binglanggu (Betel-Nut Valley) Li and Miao Cultural Tourism Area (海南槟榔谷黎苗文化旅游区), in the Ganshiling/Ganza Ridge Nature Reserve (甘什岭自然保护区内), Tiandu town (田独镇), between Baoting Li and Miao Autonomous County (保亭黎族苗族自治县) and Sanya City (三亚市), southern Hainan province, southern China, August 19, 2009.

The term bayin (八音), literally meaning eight sounds, is used in various parts of China to refer to traditional musical ensembles that include a wide variety of instruments, and often play for special and festive occasions.

Hainan is the smallest and southernmost province of China, consisting of various islands in the South China Sea. The Li people are considered to be Hainan's aboriginal inhabitants.

In 2007 the tradition of Hainan bayin instrumental music (海南八音器乐) was included in the second batch of traditions inscribed in Hainan's Provincial List of Intangible Cultural Heritage (第二批海南省级非物质文化遗产名录).

In 2008 the tradition of Li folk songs (黎族民歌)/Qiongzhong Li folk songs (琼中黎族民歌), from Qiongzhong Li and Miao Autonomous County, Hainan Province (海南省琼中黎族苗族自治县), was included in the second batch of 510 traditions inscribed in the National List of Intangible Cultural Heritage of China (第一批国家级非物质文化遗产名录) by China's State Administration of Cultural Heritage (SACH, 国家文物局), an agency under the aegis of the Ministry of Culture (中华人民共和国文化部) that was formerly known as the State Cultural Relics Bureau (国家文物局文化部).

Jungle Adventures - Yanoda!!!

Exploring Sanya’s outer limits

There’s more to Sanya than sun, sea and golf. Leave the beaches behind and discover stunning natural jungle and a culture dating back thousands of years.

Away from Sanya’s crowded bays, out towards the county of Baoting, Hainan’s topography takes on an altogether different hue. Just 45 minutes’ drive north of Haitang Bay rows of motorbikes cluster tiny villages and lush, green tropical forests stretch seemingly forever. It’s a gentle reminder that, in terms of distance at least, you’re almost as close to Vietnam here as you are to Mainland China. It’s also an area home to one of Hainan’s largest rainforests.

Entry to Yanoda Tropical Rainforest Park costs 150RMB (including English audio guide), although those expecting to machete their way through strangling vines and poisonous frogs are in for a rude awakening. This is a pretty family-oriented outing, with friendly staff who insist on bellowing “YANODA!” (meaning: one, two, three in Hainanese dialect) every time they see you. That said: it’s an amazing sight and one of the best day trips in Sanya as you negotiate waterfalls, rare flowers, grottoes and some rather beautiful views.

The forest itself stretches for 45 square kilometres, while the smaller park divides neatly into two sections. Electric carts can drop you off either at the top of the jungle slopes (first stop) so you can navigate or even zipline (80RMB) your way down, or at the bottom of ‘Dream Valley’ where 100RMB buys you a helmet, pads and the chance to get soaked canyoning up a series of waterfalls. But the most fun lies in just wandering, so set aside a good three-to-four hours and you won’t be sorry.

Not far south of Yanoda lies Binglanggu (120RMB), also known as Betel Nut Park. China has a lot of ethnic-themed parks and they can veer uncomfortably towards ‘human zoo’ territory. This is one of the better ones, however, and genuinely interesting given the island’s diversity. Hainan is said to be home to as many as 36 minorities and Binglanggu explores two of its most influential: the local Li and Miao people.

The Li are one of the oldest races on Hainan, said to have settled some 3,000 years ago. The focus is largely on them, with exhibits in English exploring tattoos, food, music and clothes as you wander an imitation village. By comparison, the Miao are relative newcomers and originally arrived on Hainan as mercenaries recruited to put down a Li uprising during the Ming dynasty. Accordingly, their section is geared around a rather daring ‘feats of strength’ show. Certainly, Binglanggu is more theme park than museum, with a focus on culture over history. Nevertheless, it’s fascinating and the daily 30-minute Li variety show is worth catching.

This is an audio version of the Wikipedia Article:
Jiamao language

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written
language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.

Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain

Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through
audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio
while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using
a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.
