The hospitality of the Yao people, all guests who enter the Yao family will be treated with respect and enthusiasm. Funny "hanging bags" and "melon wine" are typical etiquette for Yao family to entertain guests. When a guest arrives at Yao's house, as long as he hangs his carry-on bag on the hook on the main pillar of the main hall, he means to have dinner at this house. Without prior explanation, the host will naturally leave the guests at home for dinner.

If you don't understand this rule, always keep your bags and other things with you, the host will think that the guests are going to other places, and the meal will often fail. The Yao family is generous and polite. Bacon, delicacies and local products are the most common dishes for Yao family to entertain guests.

If you are a cautious stranger, you are not welcome.
