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.

🔥The passionate and unrestrained 'tribe' - Wa Tribe 🎭Wa Tribe, a nation as unrestrained as fire, is known for its unique Bull Dance, Wooden Drum Dance, and Hair Swinging Dance, full of passion! 💥The Wa people regard black as beautiful, they worship nature, believe in everything, are good at singing and dancing, hardworking and brave. Their costumes are mainly red and black, both boys and girls have long hair, and the Wooden Drum Dance and Hair Swinging Dance of the Wa people are famous at home and abroad. 💃Behind their performance stage are three big characters 'Si Gang Li'. 🌟'Si Gang Li' means coming out of a cave or a gourd, because the Wa people believe that they are a nation that came out of a cave or a gourd. The primitive performances, without playing music, boys singing and beating wooden drums, girls swinging their long hair and dancing in front. 💫 🏚The village is scattered with thatched roof stilted buildings, bull heads🐮, spirits✨, 'Si Gang Li' stone carvings and granaries, etc. The bull head🐮 is the ancient bullfighting venue of the Wa tribe, the bull horn in the middle of the field is the village pile of the Wa tribe, 👥the two stone people in front are the male and female ancestors of the Wa tribe.

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...

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 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!
