Beautiful Yunnan

Yunnan is the most southwestern province in China and borders Tibet, Myanmar, Laos and Vietnam. It is the 8Th biggest province of China and has a population of about 44 million. Especially the different minorities are well represented in the province. Yunnan is also very mountainous and has an average height of 2000m with the Kawagebo (6740m) as highest peak in Yunnan.

So Yunnan can be very beautiful, I mean can because lately the climate change also affect this province and more and more rain and clouds disturb the view. But if you are lucky this is a province where you will find spectacular views. Another beauty of the province are the local minorities with their colourful traditional clothes. These elements make that Yunnan is very appropriate for taking pictures. So in this post I want to show you some of my pictures from the province of Yunnan. Especially the nice landscape views as I want to make another topic concerning the minorities.
