The author has conducted extensive and in-depth research over the past decade. Based on comparative analysis, he proposed a more suitable version of the traditional "18 Strangenesses of Yunnan," and then created the new "100 Strangenesses of Yunnan" from five aspects: customs, clothing, daily life, landscapes, and local products, forming the core content of this book. As the saying goes, "Seeing is believing." To verify the authenticity of these strangenesses, the editors of this book invited Yang Yunbao, Duanmu Qiong, Yang Yunying, Hu Bin, Ke Xun, and Yang Hairuo to take real-life photographs that reflect these 118 strangenesses.
