Yunnan is a land locked province in southwest of China. It neighbors Tibet to its northwest, Sichuan Province to its north, Guizhou Province to its east. It shares a long border line with Myanmar, Vietnam and Laos to its south. Most of Yunnan’s 400,000km2 terrains are on plateau or hilly regions, with 80% of its land sits on elevation between 1000-3500 meters. The hilly terrains of Yunnan constituted a geological segregation of its population; that in turn lead to development of segregated tribes which, through out long period of time, evolved into many ethnic groups. Yunnan is currently home to 25 ethnic groups, the most numerous in China. 15 of these 25 ethnic groups are unique to Yunnan Province. A third of its 48 million population are registered as ethnic minority. Its diversity of demographics is a major attraction to visitors, they come for Yunnan’s colourful and dazzling ethnic cultures and customs. On top of that, Yunnan is not short of natural scenery, it boasts grand views of alpine mountains, extensive karst landscapes, crystal clear lakes and thundering water gorges.
