If you travel with somebody who speak Chinese, take some time to talk to the locals. Most of the residents belong to Dong minority,and though officially not discriminated, they live in an extreme poverty and undergo endless humiliations by the government. Just listen to their stories and understand, what is the real China of the 21st century, in contrast to what the government is trying to show. The locals are very friendly and peaceful. Daily local dance shows are performed at 10:30 AM near the drum tower in the center of Ma'an village.
