Yunnan, the sixth largest of China's provinces, lies in the southwest part
of the country. Towering ice-capped mountains adjoin Tibet and Myanmar in
the northwest, and lush tropical rainforests border Laos and Vietnam in the
South. Yunnan offers some of the most picturesque topography and diversified
culture in the world. It is home to 25 different ethnic groups, a third of
China's ethnic minorities, and half the country's plant and animal species.
With a unique array of fascinating ecological resources, including
snow-capped mountains, lakes and hot springs, tropical rainforests, as well
as a healthy climate and the friendly people, Yunnan is one of the most
alluring destinations in China. |
