Yunnan
Minority Travel, Markets
Edit by Along Discovery on March 20, 2014
Yunnan is located
in the Southwest of China which has rich tourist resources including
stunning mountain, river scenery, old towns, old architectures,
and of course there are many minority groups in the province such
as Yi, Hani, Dai(Tai), Yao, Miao, Lahu, Pumi, Zhuang, Naxi, Bulang,
Jingpo, Lisu, etc who created rich and mysterious cultures.
Yunnan is a place
which was opened to tourists early, thus it was very famous at home
and abroad, but probably most of tourists only know about Dali,
Lijiang, Xiianggelila, Xishuangbanna, Lugu Lakes, they don't know
more about interesting minority people's costumes, life, and if
they are tired of visiting those touristic places and spots, and
find nowhere to visit, the minority markets in faraway region are
recommended.
The best chance
to see them with traditional costumes is to visit their markets,
during market days, the minority people in remote region in traditional
costumes come to sell or buy their daily use of goods, sometimes,
at a market, you can see several groups such as Miao, Yi, Yao, Hani,
and of course there are different types of costume even among the
same minority. For instance, at one market, one can see Sha Yao,
Indigo Yao, Red Head Yao who have different decoration of costumes
and hairdo.
Why not join us
to visit them in the lesser known areas.
