Yunnan: " South of the Cloud Mountains ." It is stunning to discover how large is this region, located in the southwestern corner of China. The map shows that Yunnan borders Tibet, Sichuan, Guizhou and Guangxi, Vietnam, Laos and Myanmar, formerly Burma. Just knowing this, one can imagine how many cultures have contributed their influence to the people who now live in Yunnan. Dian Lake, one of the best known, is fresh water, covering 298 square kilometers (think the City of Buenos Aires has just over 200), has an area of \u200b\u200b39 kilometers from north to south and is shallow only an average of 4.4 meters. It is also called "The glittering pearl embedded in a mountainous region," and was the model for Lake Kuming in the Summer Palace in Beijing.
People in Yunnan has the largest amount of water available in the country, four times the national average, even with serious pollution problems.
In the city of Kunming, the capital of subtropical Yunnan province, since the first waste water plant was built in 1990, 90% of city waste water was pumped into the lake without treatment. Now, it is undrinkable despite have spent several billions of dollars trying to clean the lake water. Some experts confirm that more than 55% of the population of aquatic animals have died from the lake pollution. In 1960, the railway engineers had unearthed "Man of Yunnan," a homo erectus, the oldest known hominid fossil in China. Sometimes, as happened in June 2007, by the very warm weather in the region, the color turns green lake invasions by algae in large part or all of the water.

The Tropic of Cancer crosses the south of Yunnan. The area not only famous teas but also produces rice and all sorts of snuff. There are mining and, of course, tourism. The mountains, lakes, rivers and subtropical climate provide tourists a wide variety of landscapes. For those looking to see something pleasant, Jinghong city has many streets lined with palm-lined. But do not expect to make a long cruise on the river, because many river systems in Yunnan are not navigable. However, imagine all the diversity of views in that area of \u200b\u200bChina. 
a tourist destination, particularly fascinating, and famous in all parts of China, is the Tigre
a tourist destination, particularly fascinating, and famous in all parts of China, is the Tigre
Jumping Gorge, a canyon along the Yangtze River that residents call the Sandy River Gold (Jingshan Jiang). It is a natural site really wild, about 15 miles long. He located where the river passes between Snow Mountain Jade Dragon and Haba Xueshan. The river in this position becomes a series of rapids and dangerous cliffs of less than 2,000 meters high. Chinese legend says that a tiger jumped the gorge at its narrowest point 25 meters wide, to avoid a hunter. The few inhabitants of that area of \u200b\u200bNaxi, living in the small grain agriculture, and foreign tourists who pay for guide services and supplies. El Tigre is Jumping Gorge World Heritage Site. What does not seem to bother the planners in Beijing who want this site for future hydroelectric project. This would destroy a lot of beauty products and displace thousands of people.
Among the fine teas in the region are:
Yunnan. Cheap tea that is used for mixtures containing a few shoots gold and is generally bitter if taken alone. The dried leaves are mostly black with just a tip of gold. The taste can sometimes be as strong as the cooked pu-erh tea. Yunnan Gold
: a DianKong less gold buds and tea leaves darker. The potion is a blatant red color, unlike other black teas and live sweetness. Yunnan Pure Gold
: Considered the best type of tea DianKong. It contains only points of gold, usually covered with fine hairs.
As it is the province with the largest number of ethnic minorities, Yunnan has a great variety of foods. Many dishes are quite spicy Yunnan, and many fungi in sight. Some famous dishes include flowers as food Yunnan: - Boluo fan (rice pineapple)
- my xian guo qiao (Noodles 'Crossing the bridge' or 'Across the Bridge' in image) - qi guo ji (steamed chicken)
