Discovering Yunnan ethnic village in China

Dương Anh |

When you come to Kunming (China), Yunnan ethnic village is an unmissable tourist destination.

Nestled by the poetic Dien Tri Lake and leaning against the majestic Tay Son mountain, Yunnan National Village is not only a stopover, but also a journey through space and time to touch the soul of Southwest China.

The first impression of visitors when setting foot here is the wonderful intersection between human hands and nature. With its large area, the village is designed like a giant ecological park, where small winding roads lead visitors through beautiful landscapes.

That is where the rustic wooden houses reflect the green canal, the stone bridges bearing the imprint of time, or the gardens filled with colorful flowers. Each area here is modeled according to actual proportions, recreating the unique architectural complexes of ethnic groups.

Instead of being a regular sightseeing spot, Yunnan Ethnic Village brings extremely authentic "life" experiences. Here, visitors can encounter the daily rhythm of life being subtly recreated.

Throughout the journey to explore the village, the sound of khen and drums echoes throughout the small squares, where vibrant traditional dances are performed in the cheers of tourists.

Visitors will also be able to watch a unique reality music program, realistically recreating the rich spiritual life of the ethnic groups here.

If Kunming city is the "heart" of Yunnan province (China), then this cultural village is the "windows to the soul" of the whole land. The first reason why this place is worthwhile is its convenience. In just one afternoon, you can fully admire the diversity of more than 25 ethnic groups without having to go to many remote areas.

The way indigenous people preserve and introduce their heritage through smiles and warm welcomes helps visitors feel truly connected with this land.

Yunnan ethnic minority cultural village not only sells one entrance ticket, but also gives visitors a key to open the door to a colorful world, where each step contains a story of harmony and hospitality.
