Kunming minorities village

 

 In March 2010, while studying Manadarin at the Keats School in Kunming, 

the school organised an outing and we visited the Yunnan minorities park.

 

The people from Tibet were the first to be visited by us.

 

A friendly people

 We were treated on butter tea,

made there on the spot. 

 

In the meantime the dancing troupe were preparing for their next show.

 


 


 

Yunnan province is known for having large communities of 25  ethnic groups.

Each group with a distinct culture as demonstrated

most vividly by the traditional dress of particularly the women.
