Southwest China harks back thousands of years to the trade routes that extended north from Burma and India through the sunny highlands of Yunnan and Guangxi into the wilds of Sichuan and Guizhou. The peoples that once ruled this wide swath of land can still be found in its valleys, hills, and mountains: the Yi, spanning the entire region with their cultural and political base in southern Sichuan; the Naxi, straddling the salt-, horse-, and tea-trade routes between Tibet, Sichuan, and Yunnan; the Miao, centered in Guizhou with close cousins as far away as the Hmong people of Vietnam; the Mosu, a matriarchal society gathered around Lugu Lake; and, of course, the Tibetans and the Han, arbiters of power in the region for millennia.
