《云南:云天之外的香格里拉》

云南是中国民族聚居最多也最为集中的一个省份，是多民族共生共荣、不同民族的生活形态和文化形态表现最为丰富最为独特的一个省份。这里遍布着神山圣水，远离尘嚣的古镇村落，雪峰掩映下的青青草地，月光照耀下的蓝色山谷，还有热带雨林的神奇浪漫。这里有古老的音乐和文字，神奇的舞蹈和习俗。不同民族的宗教信仰和生活习俗在这里交汇和融合，并保持了他们原生的形态，他们几千年来在这块土地上和睦相处，繁衍生息，从来没有纷争。这里就是云南，就是希尔顿笔下留给人们追寻、念想的“香格里拉”。 　　Of all China's provinces,Yunnan is the one with the largest concentration of ethnic minority peoples. It is here in Yunnan that the mingling of different ethnic groups, their ways of life and their cultures are most richly and dis tinctively displayed. 　　This is a land that abounds with sacred mountains and holy waters, quiet pristine hamlets and unpolluted old towns, verdant grasslands set off by snow mountains, quiet blue valleys in moonlight, and lush magical rainforests. The land also boasts its old music and written languages, mystical dances and customs. Different religions and folk traditions mingle here, all retaining their original character. For millennia different ethnic groups have lived and multiplied on this land in peace and harmony.
