Faces of the Mangkuan Torch Festival
芒宽火把节之面孔
Far from being just a celebration of the Yi people, in Mangkuan the Torch Festival is enjoyed by everyone.
Mangkuan Scenery
芒宽风光
Where the Nujiang first opens to a broader valley lies Mangkuan, home to one of the northernmost Dai populations, with Lisu, Yi and Miao living in the mountains to either side.
Double Rainbow Bridge
双虹桥
Horse caravans still cross the Nujiang on one of the oldest chain bridges in Yunnan.
The Tropical Gardens of Lujiangba
潞江坝
Where once the carvans crossed the perillious Nujiang valley on their way from China to Burma and beyond are the tropical gardens of Lujiangba, a major fruit and coffee growing area of Yunnan inhabited by Dai, Lisu, Miao, Yi and Han Chinese.
