Chuxiong is a place where gather the most Yi minority people. Chuxiong is located in the middle of Yunnan. I think few people know the place, but if you are interested in minority culture, you'd better come here!
We lived in "Jinlong Hotel" (金龙酒店). It is also a old style hotel. I f you come here, you will feel there is full of Yi culture. The wall paint has the ethnic style life and dance. I believed that you will love here if you come here.
This is the contact information about "Jinlong Hotel":

The most famous scenic spot here is the ancient town of Chuxiong Yi people. It is a national AAAA scenic spot, with 11.5 million visitors in 2017. When you get into here, you will see vendors selling all kinds of things on the both side of the Yi village. For example, minority jewelry, hand-made shoes etc. Also, the ticket is free for everyone.
The special food in Chuxiong is the fermented bean curd. It is like an ingredient, which can be eaten together with rice. I don't think this kind of food can be accepted by outsiders, because the taste of fermented bean curd is a little strange and spicy, but you can still try it. Perhaps you would like it.
Furthermore, the Torch Festival is the biggest festival in Chuxiong, and on this day the ancient town is even more lively. You are welcome to visit here!
