When the Miao people get married, the bride shows up at the ceremony wearing an elaborate collection of silver jewelry that includes a headdress, a necklace, bracelets, and other distinctive items. The complete set typically weighs 7-8 kilograms and costs about $30,000. Parents often begin saving up for the expensive dowry upon the birth of their daughter. Host of China Plus Laiming takes you to southwest China's Guizhou Province for a closer look at this valuable Miao tradition.
