BBC wants to know Yunnan, and so do I !
Where is Yunnan?
Yúnnán (云南／雲南)
South of the Cloud Mountains
Perhaps the most diverse province in Mainland China, both in the unique culture of mixed ethnics and in the spectacular landmarks.
A domestic tourist industry, more than half of Chinese ethnic minority groups reside in this dream land, providing a glimpse into China’s hugely varied mix of humanity. Then there’s the eye-catching contrasts of the land itself – dense jungle sliced by the Mekong River in the south, soul-recharging glimpses of the sun over rice terraces in the southeastern regions, and snow-capped mountains as you edge towards Tibet.
With everything from laid-back villages and spa resorts, to mountain treks and excellent cycling routes, Yúnnán appeals to all tastes. Transportation links are good so getting around is a breeze but you’ll need time to see it all – whatever time you’ve set aside for Yúnnán, double it. (lonelyplanet)
