( Cuisine, Ethnic Minorities, Yunnan Guide )

When Yunnan is visited, you won't be able to get around the amazing and manifold Yunnan Cuisine. As diversified as Yunnan's geography and population, as colorful and multifaceted are the dishes you can eat. Yunnan Province has by far the greatest variety of food to offer!

Below, we list some of the more popular Yunnan food and very characteristic delicacies. The Yunnan Cuisine - also known as Dian Cuisine - is basically a combination of three greater regional features and can be roughly classified as follows:

 

Food of northern Yunnan: the area is bordering Sichuan, the way food is prepared here, is quite similar to our neighboring province: hot and spicy. Furthermore the Tibetan influence in the northwest is very much present.

Western and southwestern Yunnan is famous for its minority cuisine due to its proximity to Myanmar and Laos. Being the home of numerous ethnic minorities, the influence to food of the Hui, Bai, and Dai is very big. Refreshing, spicy, sometimes sour!
