The Ethnic People of Yunnan
Yunnan is a border province in Southwest China with many ethnic
groups. Of all the 56 ethnic groups of China, 26 can be found in Yunnan. Among them, the Yi, Bai, Dai, Tibetan and Naxi ethnic groups are the most in number. Such ethnic groups are the living legacy of the ancient civilizations of this region. The Old Town of Lijiang, built by the Naxi people, was listed as a world cultural heritage site in 1997; the Sideng Market Area of Shaxi village, built by the Bai people, with its intact way station on the Tea and Horse trade route, was listed as a world architectural heritage site in 2001; and the unique marital customs of the Mosuo people of Lake Lugu, are remnants of an alternative, matriarchal society of mankind, in which they "co-habit" but rarely marry. The ethnic people of Yunnan are very good at expressing their culture through folk songs and dances. The exciting Bawangbian (power whip) dance of the Bai people; the melodious classical music of the Naxi people; the Guozhuang dance of the Tibetan people; and the delicate Peacock dance of the Dai people, to name just a few. These rich cultural traditions are also reflected in their ethnic costumes and traditional architecture. For more details, please visit http://www.edward-adventures.com/EA/ethnic.htm |

I saw the opening ceremony of the 3rd Month Market, hundreds of dnacers of different ethnic groups such as Bai, Yi, Naxi and Hui performed on the ground, and the ceremony end up with horse racing. The Market will in early May this year. Emily Old houses in Xizhou are very interesting. |
