YUNNAN

The southwest Chinese province of Yunnan is a frontier region bordered by Myanmar, Viet Nam and the Laos. The name of the province, meaning's land south of colourful clouds', sheds some light on the natural beauty of Yunnan. At an altitude of 2,000 metres, Yunnan belongs to the temperate-tropical highland monsoon climate, and its land is clustered with snow-crowned mountains and glaciers, lakes and hot springs, highlands, primitive forests, and tropical rain forests. Yunnan is also known as a 'Kingdom of Plants' and a 'Kingdom of Animals', which have enough to offer those who care to come on bio-tour trips. Yunnan was home to Yuanmou Man 1.7 million years ago, and its land is filled with cultural relics and places of cultural interest. No other province in china has as many ethnic peoples as Yunnan. The 26 minority peoples who call Yunnan home include the Dais, Bais, Yis and Hanis. Traditional foods in Yunnan include chicken stewed in an earthen steam pot, rice noodles, roast ducks of Yiliang, Yunnan style ham, Xuanwei ham, and the daily are of ethnic peoples.
