Banna
This weekend I made my first visit to Xishuangbanna, Yunnan's southernmost prefecture and the ancestral home of several of Yunnan's ethnic minority groups. The occasion was my friend's wedding to a native of Menghai, a tiny town to the west of Banna's capital of Jinghong. In fact, the bride came from a village that comprised roughly 20 families, a lot of chickens, and the odd pig.
The experience was interesting, to say the least. Some photos and stories to follow.
