Ethnic Peoples 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.
