Yunnan is China compressed into one province. In the south, tropical rainforests near the Laos border. In the north, Tibetan peaks and monasteries. In between: the Stone Forest, Erhai Lake, Lijiang's Naxi old town, and Tiger Leaping Gorge — one of the deepest canyons on Earth. Yunnan is home to 25 of China's 55 recognized ethnic minorities, each with distinct languages, dress, and festivals. If you want to see the China beyond Beijing and Shanghai, this is where you start.
