Talk:Yunnan

What's in a name?
Someone recently added a page titled Honghe Hani and Yi Autonomous Prefecture, and links to it here. I think that should just be "Honghe", or perhaps "Honghe Prefecture" since our policy is to use the commonest English name for titles. e.g. We have Guangxi not "Guangxi Zhang Autonomous Region". There are a bunch of these; I think they should all be shortened. I'd already shortened several before it occurred to me to ask for comment first. (WT-en) Pashley 02:40, 26 April 2007 (EDT)

Map error?
The map in this article shows Deqin south of Shangrila. My memory of the area, Wikipedia & the OSM maps all say it is much further north, almost at the tip of Yunnan.

Also, could the two major hiking areas mentioned in Yunnan tourist trail &mdash; Tiger Leaping Gorge and Three Parallel Rivers National Park &mdash; be added to the map? Pashley (talk) 19:42, 24 September 2013 (UTC)


 * Looks like Google Maps has (in addition to the city label) a label for Deqin Prefecture south of Shangrila, and since both labels say "Deqin" followed by Chinese characters, it's confusing. I've updated the map, though the Northwestern subregion is pretty crowded.  (I'm also having trouble uploading the modified SVG.)  Powers (talk) 01:00, 27 August 2014 (UTC)

"Cities" section
Up to 9 cities can be listed, per Avoid long lists. I just removed the non-alphabetical ones added at the end, but there is still one red-linked one.

Is the current list of 9 good, or should one of the other ones be substituted? Here was the longer list:


 * - the provincial capital, nicknamed "Spring City"
 * - backpacker central, hippie's heaven; ancient walled city
 * - ancient town of Naxi Minority, an UNESCO World Heritage site
 * (formerly Zhongdian) - largely Tibetan, with a famous Buddhist monastery
 * - largely Tibetan, at 3,500 meters, close to Meili Snow Mountain
 * - largest city in Xishuangbanna, tropical tourist area
 * - border town, next to Myanmar
 * - the southernmost prefecture in Yunnan province. The local Hani Rice Terraces were listed as World Culture Heritage sites in 2016.
 * - the southernmost prefecture in Yunnan province. The local Hani Rice Terraces were listed as World Culture Heritage sites in 2016.
