Bo People (China)

The Bo people (Chinese: 僰人; pinyin: Bó rén) are a small minority population in Southern China, famous for their hanging coffins.

The Bo people dominated their area for some four centuries, but were massacred by the Ming army and were thought to be extinct. However, some descendants of the Bo were found in 2005 in Xingwen County, Sichuan.
