Yunnan Ethnic Villages, situated six kilometers south of Kunming, is a 2,000 mu theme park situated on the south shore of Dianchi Lake and to the west of the famous Western Mountains Scenic Area.
This famous historical and cultural city of Kunming is located to the north of the villages. Each of the 26 recognized ethnic minorities of Yunnan will have a village built on the premises. There will also be a commemorative square built which will symbolize the unity between the ethnic groups, a theatre for the performance of ethnic songs and dances, museum of ethnic waxworks and a folklore museum. When completed, the Yunnan Ethnic Villages will serve to represent Yunnan as a culturally rich and ethnically diverse province. The park will also feature an immense garden in the tradition of ancient Chinese horticultural and landscaping. Haigeng Park, a National Sport Training Base, is only two kilomeyers away from the Minority Nationalities Park.
