Exploring Yunnan Ethnic Village: A Soulful Journey in a Colorful World

My first visit to the ethnic village was 20 years ago, and it felt quite deserted when I went again, perhaps because the ticket price-performance ratio is not high. But as a foreigner, traveling thousands of miles to Kunming, the ethnic village is still worth a visit, especially for friends who have never been there. First of all, there is a very large banyan tree at the main entrance of the ethnic village. From a distance, I thought it was a forest, but it is actually just one tree. The ethnic village has three gates, all with parking lots. Gaode navigation usually navigates to the parking lot of the east gate. From here, you can see that banyan tree. Then you can see the Wish Tower, make a wish first! However, if you want to go to Dianchi Lake next to the ethnic village after playing, it is not recommended to park here, because the parking lot at the north gate is in the middle of Dianchi Lake and the ethnic village, and it is more convenient to park there. There are many performances in the ethnic village, but we almost didn't watch them. We strolled around and left from the north gate to take the Xishan cable car to Xishan Longmen. As a treasure of China's multi-ethnic culture, Yunnan Ethnic Village is rich in colorful history and culture. As soon as I entered the village, I was attracted by the characteristic buildings of various ethnic groups. The well-arranged architectural style shows the unique charm of each ethnic group. There, I not only saw the customs of ethnic minorities such as the Dai, Hani, and Yi, but also tasted authentic ethnic food, and felt a strong local cultural atmosphere. Walking in the village, I could hear the melodious melody of ethnic music from time to time, as if I was in a mysterious and vibrant world. Here, I am not just a tourist, but a traveler of the soul, truly communicating and resonating with ethnic culture. When I left Yunnan Ethnic Village, I left endless beautiful memories in my heart. This colorful journey will always be remembered in my heart.
