You obviously have a great interest in the cultures of Western China &amp; Chinese history in general. The only thing I know about Yunnan Province is the remarkable cuisine from that area &amp; of course the jade carving done there. Yunnan food is a unique mix of Bai, Mongolian, &amp; Indian cultures, unlike most food we think of as Chinese. Being on the border of Burma (known as Myanmar today), Yunnan craftsmen have developed a large jade carving industry using Burmese jadeite. About 20 years ago a friend visiting China gave me a jadeite pendant carved in Yunnan Province, see photo below, about 53 mm long. Below that is a jadeite pendant well beyond my financial means carved by the famous Yunnan carver Dong Chunyu.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]878330[/ATTACH]&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; [ATTACH=full]878331[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
