In Yunnan Ethnic Village, I encountered a thousand years of romance. The March Street of the Bai nationality, the singing floats over the Cangshan Mountain; the Torch Festival of the Yi nationality, lights up the night sky. Every step is a scene, every song is a dream, I am here, dancing lightly with time. Wind, flowers, snow and moon are just a wisp of wind in the ethnic village; blue sky and white clouds are the eternal waiting here. I am in Yunnan, meeting a thousand kinds of charm, and sharing a dream of wind, flowers, snow and moon with you.

How to get there - I took a DiDi from my hotel located near Kunming railway station and it took about 30mins. From the DiDi drop off location I walked about 5 minutes. This tourist attraction is quite nice and large. Walk around and enjoy the different villages. Throughout the day, there are different shows showcasing different villages. I strongly suggest you take a photo of the schedule when you enter the site. It is located in front of the gate. I watched two of the shows and thought they were very good and interesting. Food- There are some restaurants at the entrance. When I visited there was quite a bit of construction going on but I still had a good time! Enjoy your trip! 😊 #kunmingtravel #kunming #yunnan #solotravel #solotraveler #touristattraction #park #ThisIsChina

In Kunming, there is a special village where you can understand and experience the culture of Yunnan's ethnic minorities in one stop. It is known as the 'Ethnic Culture Park', and that is—Yunnan Ethnic Village. The Ethnic Village is located on the banks of Dian Lake, and its most special feature is the construction and restoration of villages of 25 indigenous ethnic minorities in Yunnan at a 1:1 ratio. This allows the architectural art, song and dance costumes, cultural customs, and living habits of the ethnic minorities to come together in one scene, blooming in one village. As you stroll through, you will instantly understand the phrase 'There is a way of life called Yunnan'. In the Dai ethnic village, there are exquisite Dai bamboo houses and unique Dai costumes; in the Bai ethnic village, there are ancient Bai dwellings and the solemn Bai 'Three-Course Tea' ceremony; in the Yi ethnic village, there is the unique Yi Stone Forest landscape and the vibrant Yi song and dance performances...

In the first week after the real 2024 arrived, My family and I chose 🌸Yunnan🌸 as the first choice for our Spring Festival trip. From Kunming, known as the city of eternal spring, to Honghe, whose name alone makes you feel the earth carries its own fragrance, Then to the romantic and leisurely Dali with its 'wind, flowers, snow, and moon', and Yuxi, where the breeze is gentle and the water is clear as a mirror. After running around for 7 days, I regretted it🥀... Regret... that I didn't go there earlier!
