Tongdao Dong Autonomous County (simplified Chinese: 通道侗族自治县; traditional Chinese: 通道侗族自治縣; pinyin: Tōngdào Dòngzú Zìzhìxiàn) is under the administration of Huaihua, Hunan province, China. The southernmost, least populous, and least densely populated county-level division of Huaihua City,[3] it borders the prefecture-level divisions of Shaoyang to the east, Liuzhou and Guilin (both Guangxi) to the south, Qiandongnan (Guizhou) to the west.
There are two Miao subgroups in Tongdao County, namely Hua Miao 花苗 (mjiu55 ken35) and Cao Miao 草苗 (mjiu55). Despite being officially classified by the Chinese government as ethnic Miao, Cao Miao is actually a Kam-Sui language.[4]
