Yunnan Ethnic Village is located in the south of Kunming City, beside Dianchi Lake, and is a popular tourist destination in Kunming. There are 25 ethnic minority villages built on a 1:1 basis, including Dai, Bai, and Yi, and each has different folk customs and craft performances. You can enjoy the customs of many ethnic groups in Yunnan in one day.
Among the ethnic villages, Dai Village and Yi Village are worth seeing. Dai village is the first village to enter the ethnic village, which is full of tropical and subtropical plants, dotted with exquisite and elegant bamboo buildings of Dai family. There are typical Dai-style buildings such as dry-column-style residential buildings, style buildings, water-splashing pavilions, Buddhist temples, and water-splashing squares. The most striking thing is the white pagoda in the village - "Bozhong Pagoda", which is built in proportion to the Yunyan Pagoda in Yingjiang, Dehong Prefecture. 40 small pagodas surround the tall main pagoda, and there are 365 other pagodas. The sound of wind chimes is very pleasant. You can also take a painting boat near the Dai village.
The solar calendar square is worth seeing in the Yi village. There is a stone pillar in the middle of the square. In ancient times, the Yi people observed the time through the shadow of the stone pillar. The giant "tiger" in the village is the totem of the ancient Yi people. In addition, there are Yi people's unique earth palm houses, wine roasting workshops, cultural buildings, etc. in the village.
During minority festivals such as the "Water-Splashing Festival" of the Dai people in April and the "Torch Festival" of the Yi people in July and August, lively celebrations will also be held in the folk village. You may wish to visit during this period to experience more vivid ethnic customs .
