If you visit a Dong village during the dyeing season, you'll see freshly dyed cloth hanging from the eaves and along the roadsides like colorful decorations. These fabrics, treated through repeated dyeing, beating and rinsing, gleam with a metallic sheen. Dong people believe that their cloth, dyed with natural indigo, not only provides warmth, but also has health benefits due to the medicinal properties of the indigo plant.
