Yunnan Destinations

Lijiang

The Naxi are a proud, if small, ethnic group and have held on to many of their traditions, despite the encroachment of modern life. One such tradition is what many would consider the reversal of typical gender roles. Read More

Stone Forest

The Stone Forest is a creation of prehistory. In the Permian period - roughly 270 million years ago - the earth flexed its muscles, caused an ocean to drain and the limestone seabed to rise up.

The local name for this prefecture, 750km south west of Kunming, is "Sip song pan na," which is Thai for "Twelve thousand rice fields." In fact, there are many connections between this area of southern China and its Lao and Thai neighbours.
