Features: The Red Land Plateau of Yunnan is one of the earliest cradles of human civilization and also a significant meeting point of diverse cultures. In this unique geographical environment that encompasses seven natural climate zones and is separated and connected by high mountains and rivers, a vast historical span and a diverse human space have converged, forming a rare cultural treasure trove of ethnic minorities in the world. Stepping into this dazzling treasure trove, what first catches your eye are undoubtedly the charming folk arts of the ethnic minorities. The richness and diversity of Yunnan's ethnic culture have determined the vibrant and colorful folk arts of the region. In the clothing, hats, skirts, and shoes of the mountain villagers and young women, we see myths and dreams woven and adorned with colorful threads and silver bubbles. On the roofs and corners of village houses, we discover clay cats that take on human-like qualities, engaging in dialogue with the spirit world while revealing the survival will of their owners.
