Photo of the Day: Yunnan, China

This was taken by an anonymous photographer of Heilong Tan Park in Lijiang, Yunnan Province, China. The captivating Yu Long Snow Mountain is in the background. Of all the places I visited in China, I would have to say Yunnan Province was the most serene and breathtaking region. The Province and its environs reminded me of the western US; with rocky mountains, breathtaking vistas and unusual geological formations.



Yunnan is the home of 23 distinct ethnic minorities, making it the most culturally diverse Provinces in China. This fact alone, gives the photographer an infinite amount of inspiration. Below, is a pic I took of the Mrs. dressed in ethnic minority regalia (not sure which group) at Stone Forest, outside the city of Kunming.
