18 Yunnan monster

Yunnan is located in low latitude and high altitude area, which is influenced by both latitude position and vertical height difference, and has various climate types. The south is a valley basin formed by tropical monsoon region, and the east is described as "colorful" with warm winter and cool summer climate. Yunnan is also the province with the largest number of ethnic minorities in China. In addition to the Han nationality, there are 25 ethnic groups including Yi, Bai, Zhuang, Dai, Naxi, Tibetan and Yao, accounting for about one third of the total population of the province. It is precisely because of its unique geographical characteristics, special climatic conditions, colorful ethnic customs and peculiar customs that many strange phenomena different from other places have emerged. After tourists and passers-by from far away left this magical land for a short time, the anecdotes they heard and witnessed gradually spread, and they were often labeled as "strange", which led to the spread of "18 eccentrics in Yunnan" and "28 eccentrics in Yunnan".
