Everyone wraps themselves up so much in these areas that sometimes it's hard to tell whether they are Tibetan or Hui or some other ethnic minority. This Tibetan woman in Zekog (澤庫縣) takes some pride in her colors!

Photo: Morning Noodles at the Market
An ethnic Hui woman buys noodles in the morning market Shadian (沙甸). Shadian is a (relatively) huge Hui Muslim enclave in Yunnan where the people are notably more devout than in many other places in China. The town is host to ten mosques, including the still-under-construction "largest mosque in Southeast Asia," if we are to believe the locals.
