River |

|
| Baishui River (baishuihe)
leaves on travelers is the limpid water. The source of
the river is the melting snow on the nearby mountain,
and after undergoing a process of filtration on the nearby
rocks, the water pours into the river a gorgeous clear
color. Trees grow along either side of the riverbed while
a little further away snow-capped peaks stand imposingly
against the sky. It is possible to travel upriver either
on foot or by horseback from here. |

| Bita means a place with
a dense oak forest. The Bitahai Lake is a fault lake,
which lies in the heart of the nature preserve surrounded
by mountains covered with ancient pines, oaks and rhododendrons.

Gorge is between the Haba Snow Mountain and the Yulong(Jade
Dragon) Snow Mountain.Tiger Leaping Gorge extends for
10 miles from the Yulong Xueshan Mountain in Lijiang
to the Haba Xueshan Mountain in Zhongdian. It is one
the longest, deepest, and narrowest gorges in the world.

leaped over the swirling waters. |
|
| Stone
Forest |
|
|
|
| The Stone Forest is
situated in the Lunan Yu Autonomous County 126 kilometers
southeast of Kunming. A typical karst formation, the
Stone Forest covers an area of more than three hundred
square kilometres. Scientific research has shown that
what is now the Stone Forest was 270 million years ago
an immense expanse of water with a vast stretch of limestone
sediment formed over the years on the seafloor. As a
result of the crustal movement, the seabed rose gradually
and a large piece of land thus came into being. Exposed
to rains and winds, eroded by the elements, the thrtist-up
limestone ranges were shaped bv time. About 200 million
vears ago numerous stone peaks, pillars, and stalagmites
rose abruptly from the ground and towered into the sky,
extending now as far as the eye can see, looking like
a vast forest of stone, hence the name "the Stone
Forest". |
|
| Butterfly
Spring |
|
|
|
| The Butterfly Spring
is located at the foot of the Yundong Peak, one of the
peaks of Cangshan Mountain, in Dali of Yunnan Province.
The spring water is as clear as a mirror, with tens of
thousands of butterflies gathering here from all around
every year, dancing all over the sky. Some of these butterflies
are as big as one's palm; others are as small as a copper
coin. One after another, strings of butterflies hang
down from big silk trees to the surface of water, dazzling
to the eye. |

| XishuangBanna |
|
|
|
| Xishuangbanna is China's
Mini-Thailand, because like Thailand in all of Southeast
Asia, Xishuangbanna is, among China's provinces, a much
preferred tourist destination, though not so much by
international tourists but rather for Chinese from provinces
further north. In this district, the minority (and by
Chinese definition the Dais populating the area are a
minority) are actually the majority. Of the district's
population of more 650,000, more than half belong to
the Dais who are just as closely related to the Thais
of Thailand as the name suggests. The Han Chinese make
up only about a quarter of the population. |
