Yunnan is home to 56 different ethnic groups. This includes Han, Hui, Mongols, Manchus, and Tibetans, but most of these 56 ethnic groups are exclusively in South China and have lived there since time immemorial. The Burmese Empire to the South and Imperial China to the north have been comfortably separated from each other by rugged mountain terrain, rivers, and densely packed rainforests, allowing inhabitants to remain mostly undisturbed. The majority of Yunnan’s territory is run by what are called autonomous prefectures.
