frontiers. Its remote location and rugged terrain led to sparse settlement over the centuries; today, it’s the country’s fourth least-developed province drastically different from the megacities up north with their urban bustle. Home to Yi and Hani ethnic minorities, Yunnan is reminiscent of Provence, France, with pastoral lavender fields and vineyards, and also shares a border with Vietnam, Laos, and Myanmar, creating a melting pot of Southeast Asian cultures.
