Dehong Tours

Situated in the west boundary area of Yunnan Province, Dehong Dai and Jingpo Autonomous Prefecture neighbors Baoshan City to the east and northeast, and shares a boundary of 504 kilometers (313 miles) with Burma in the south, west and northwest. Dehong lies in the west of Gaoligong Mountain in the gorges of western Yunnan. The terrain is high and deep in the northeast, while the southwest region is lower and slopes gently. Lofty mountains and great rivers constitute the main frame of the prefecture. Festivals of the Achang and Jingpo ethnic minorities are all derived from folk legends, and people sing and dance to express the origin of their cultures, to celebrate their harvest and express best wishes. Munao Songs Festival is the grandest traditional feast of Jingpo; that is usually held in the fifth day of the first lunar month, while Huijie Festival and Woluo Festival of Achang are important celebrations of Achang.
