With the population of 8,940,116, the MIao people form one of the largest ethnic minorities in the southwest China. They are mainly distributed across Guizhou, Yunnan, Hunan and Sichuan provinces and Guangxi zhuang Autonomous Region, and a small number live on Hainan Island, in Guangdong Province and in southwest Hubei Province. Most of them live in tightly-knit communities, with a few living in area inhabited by several other ethnic groups.
