Selection Statement:

Yunnan Province, with its unique history, geography and multi-ethnic peoples, has attracted people from all over the world. Long before millions of modern tourists poured into the region every year, the French and its missionary demonstrated their strong interests in the region. This is the land I love and once called home, and will call home for a long, long time.
