Located in Yunnan Province in southwestern part of China, Xishuangbanna is famous for its mysterious virgin rainforests, wild animals and minority customs. The Jinghong Virgin Forest is the most famous one in the local place. The forest is considered to be the largest there and western adventurers had ventured there seeking rich biological treasures as far back as the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911).

The distinctive natural environment there has created unusual customs and traditions. All over the region, even today, Dai ethnic group’s houses can be seen. These bamboo structures raised on stilts deter floods and dangerous animals, allowing many people to inhabit in one house safely, often along with all their animals too. Hunting is still the main source of income in conjunction with farming. In terms of culture, the Dai people dress in spectacular colours and furs, and dancing and singing are popular ways to pass time.
