COLORFUL YUNNAN

Yunnan (Beautiful Clouds in the South) Province is the most southwest region of China bordering the countries of Vietnam, Laos, and Burma.
There are 25 different ethnic minorities in Yunnan, making it the most culturally diverse province in China. This multiplicity of cultures has endowed the province with a rich heritage that it shares with all who come to visit. There is always something wonderful to see and do here.

Pictures are sorted in this order (grouped by area visited):
Shangri-la >> Lijiang >> Dali >> Kunming

Amazing sense of color and place. Too much is said about China with too little understanding of how stunning a country it is, unique culture(s) and wonderful people. Big Vote
