Culture<\/h3>\n

Yunnan is home to 25 different ethnic minorities, some of which are recognised by UNESCO. With so many cultures and traditions throughout the province, you will never be far from a local festival or cultural experience. Throughout Yunnan you will witness the full spectrum of colourful, distinctive dress, only found in these areas. The people are friendly, yet curious, possibly even more curious of you, than you are of them.<\/p>\n

Shopping<\/h3>\n

There are plenty of handicrafts made locally that will make perfect presents for loved ones back at home. Keep your eye out for unique wax prints and jade carvings.<\/p>\n

Food<\/h3>\n

The cuisine of Yunnan, whilst not as famous as neighbouring Sichuan<\/a>, offers real delicacies including across the bridge rice noodles, pot-steamed chicken and Yunnan Ham.<\/p>\n
