The south western China is unique and has many ethnic minorities living their traditional lifestyles. Because of the geographical and geological reasons, this part of the country has been mostly isolated from the mainstream society and so their culture and lifestyles are very different and has very beautiful and unique scenic views. Also visit Beijing and Xian for the mainstream Chinese history and culture and then enjoy visiting Kunming, Dali, Lijiang, Shangri-la and Xishuangbanna.
