From Vietnam to China: Ethnic People of the Border

Two countries, many people!

Then, crossing the border between Vietnam and China by car, you head to Kunming, stopping in remote villages and visiting the third largest Confucian temple in China.

Fly to Dali and on to Lijang, to see the Bai and Naxi of the area. After exploring Lijang, you head north to the Tibetan Plateau to Gyalthang, the area aptly named by the Chinese, Shangrila!
