Yunnan

These photos were taken on a brief 3 week tour of Yunnan in March of 2007. Living as I do in the N.W. Indian Himalayas I was curious to see the mountains and Tibetan culture 2,500 kms away to the East. So it was to the north western part of Yunnan that we were drawn. We entered Yunnan from Laos and returned to Laos from China via Vietnam

wow peter, how exciting. i spent 3 months in lijiang, dali and tiger leaping gorge in 1987 and we got lost beyond some road head trekking thru primary oak forest and bon-animist cultures. i was seeking one of the last remaining matrilineal societies, and loved your pic of the naxi woman. i have slippers like hers, must find them.... wonderful pictures bringing back the feeling of being there. and yes, an interesting comparison of hymalayan life from india thru nepal and china. amazing and lovely pictures really capturing the nature of the area. strangely, doesn't seem like alot has changed in an otherwise politically, socially, and economically eventful 30 years... my god, getting old!
