Hi firends,
Here are some photoes of my hometown Yunnan of China. There are a large number of nation Minorities live in Yunnan. They have different cultures, language, clothes.
Lugu lake, a most misterious place in Yunnan. Because there is a misterious Minority live in there called Moling People( 摩棱人）. They have a specially merriage system which is totally different from ours. It juat like the ancient matrilineal society. People have no marrige, so they don't need divorce. If a man fall in love with a woman, he can stay in the woman's house one night and leave in next morning. If they had a baby, the woman will rise she/ he up, and that baby belongs to her mother.
This two pictures are Moling People.
More about Lugu Lack.
The next place i will introduce to you is called Xishuangbanna . It is the southernmost prefecture of Yunnan Province. The prefecture is nicknamed "Aerial Garden" for its luxuriant and multi-layered primitive woods and tropical rain forests, which are teeming with animals and plants.
The tropical rain forests, big plants.
The typical animals there are elephents. Instead of horses, the local people there ride elephents.
The main local Minority there is called Dai People(傣族）. They are famous of beatiful ladies and their peacock dance.They have a special fastival called Water-splashing Festival. People spash water to another to envoke their blessing.
She is the most famous peacock dancer in China, called Yang liping.
Well, hope you will enjoy these photoes and welcome to Yunnan.^_^
