China's Yunnan Province

by Margaret Zellers

The Yunnan Province is appealing to international visitors because because it is home to many "ethnic minorities," as the former tribes are known in Chinese-English. Many wear traditional dress, especially in the countryside and for festivals or tourism events. National authorities give the number as "26 nationalities."

Ecotourism Highlighted
Southwestern China's Yunnan province has adopted ecotoutism as its direction for development. Highland Ecotourism Itineraries can be arranged out of Kunming, with an excursion that takes visitors to Dali, where "mountains are green in all four seasons" and the Erhai Lake, known for its jade-green color and its mystical qualities.

Ships Plying the Yangtze River
Victoria Cruises and other ships continue to ply the Yangtze River, offering passengers an unmatched experience. The Victoria Blue Whale and the Victoria Angel carry passengers on three day cruises between Chongqing and Shashi, and five day cruises on the reverse voyage through the Three Gorges.
