Yunnan Ethnic Minorities Village in Kunming. Where I met 11 minority tribes people who live in this province of China. I was blown away with the kindness and welcoming nature of everyone. I was offered free tea whilst listening to the Mosuo people play music and to join the Nu People for lunch. It left me in tears at one point, as I felt so moved by the kindness of people wanting to share their culture and generosity. There are over 25 different ethnic minorities at Yunnan Ethnic Minorities Village. I highly recommend visiting to get an understanding of the many people and cultures which make up China.
