Representatives from eight of Yunnan Province's ethnic minority communities, including the Jinuo (基诺), Derung (独龙), De'ang (德昂), Achang (阿昌) and Jingpo (景颇), recently met with journalists to share their views on cultural tourism and put forward their suggestions for promoting and preserving minority languages and folk culture.
Jingpo representative Duan Mei (段梅) pointed out that due to social progress and the economic development of minority regions, even those living deep in the mountain areas are becoming increasingly exposed to foreign cultural influences and marriages between ethnic minorities and Han are not uncommon.
