XISHUANGBANNA IN YUNNAN PROVINCE
This is a popular destination for students as they get to engage in field studies, helping to work with the local ethnic Dai people in their villages during the various harvest seasons. These are tea, wild mushrooms and coffee. Students assist and learn the whole process from harvest to packing and transportation of the products.
There are 13 indigenous ethnic groups in the area where many other crafts are performed and can be seen working. We step back in time to enjoy the historical and cultural aspects of life here.
We visit ancient tea and primeval rain forests, witness rich biodiversity, see Red Pandas - as this is their home area, and enjoy the hospitality of the local people with dinners, dancing and a lively and joyous atmosphere.
