Day3.

we will take you to an area called Yi autonomous county. 

The Yi minority market is running every 10 days. Usually the Yi live in the mountains and come down only for special occasions like markets or festivals. Some walk for hours. The market we visit is one of the biggest in Yunnan and sells everything from pigs, cows and waterbuffaloes to vegetables, corn, rice, tobacco etc. The Yi-women wear traditional clothes with beautiful, colourful embroidery. Besides the Yi you will meet the local people doing their shoppings and farmers walking their animals to the market.

Before the market we will visit a Yi village. We will make a gentle hike through the riceterraces to reach the village. Here we'll have a look in the small classrooms of the primary school. In the village they also produce eucalyptusoil from steaming the leaves of the trees.

After a delicious lunch we go to a traditional temple beautifully located in the ricefields close to one of the next villages. It is being looked after by friendly locals who raised the money themselves to restaure the temple after it got damaged during the cultural revolution. This local buddhist/ daoist temple is very peaceful and has many colourful statues inside. The day will be finished by a visit to the local whiskey distillery. This full daytrip is traditional, unspoilt and non-touristy.
