Food

The Dulongs have a varied diet. Different grains provide the staple, and they also enjoy all sorts of wild game of the mountain. They are good at catching fish in the rushing current of the Dulong River, too.

Dulong tapestries can be seen everywhere as house decorations. They are woven by hand with colorful threads spun from cotton and flax, and are soft and well designed. Cloaks made of these beautiful tapestries have become their unique traditional costume. Dulong men like to carry hunting tools such as a cross-bow, quiver and chopper because hunting has always supplemented their income in the past. The women like to wear longa2sleeved upper clothes and long skirts. They sometimes tie a flower-patterned linen apron around the waist. Their leg wrappings are also made of linen cut in strips.
