位于中国西南边陲的云南省，幅员辽阔，资源丰富，也是少数民族聚集区。下面让我们一起领略它的独特边疆风貌吧。 Yunnan Yunnan is situated on a plateau in southwest China.“Yunnan” in Chinese means “south of the clouds”. The people of Yunnan are proud of living on this blessed land. People like to call Yunnan the province of “perpetual(永久的) spring”. Because of its abundant(丰富的) natural resources，Yunnan enjoys the reputation of the “kingdom of flora and fauna”， “kingdom of medicinal herbs”，“natural garden”，“hometown of perfumes”，“hometown of animal fossils” and is a popular area for tourism(旅游业). The Stone Forest is known as “One of Earth’s Natural Wonders”．All visitors to Kunming from home and abroad never hesitate to come here to admire the unique scenes formed by the stones. Dali, a historically and culturally famous city of China, is famous for her historical interest. During the Tang and Song Dynasties，it was the capital of Nanzhao and Dali Kingdoms，the political，economic and cultural centre of Yunnan，an important gateway(门户) of cultural exchange and trading with south-eastern Asian countries，and an important pass of the ancient “Silk Route of the South”． Situated in the northwest plateau，Lijiang (the Beautiful River) got its name from its position at the middle reaches of the beautiful Jinsha River.Scattered(分散) on an area of 7，648 square kilometers，the population is made up of the Naxi，Bai，Lisu，Pumi，Yi，Miao minority groups.
