蒙自 Mengzi.

I was there for about two weeks with friends and it was a very pleasant stay. As usual, it would be nice to be able to return for another working holiday.

It is one of the cities under the jurisdiction of Honghe Autonomous Prefecture in Yunnan Province. Mengzi is also the center of Honghe autonomous prefecture and the core area of south Yunnan central city. Located in the southeast of Yunnan. Mengzi covers an area of 2228 square kilometers, basin area is 544.2 square kilometers, 24.4% of total area, main urban area is 30.8 square kilometers.

I had the opportunity to meet many of the different tribal groups there: Yi, Miao, Zhuang, Hani, Hui and other minority groups in Mengzi. Among them, minorities are 55.09% of the total population.

I particularly like the former French  Concession area.

The best part of my day there is to walk along the various streets and enjoy the street food from 5 p.m. onwards. Food was cheap and very fresh.
