The Southwest Silk Road - Connecting China and Southeast Asia:

Route: BuTuo, Xichang, Panzihua, Lijiang, Kunming, Dali, Shaxi, Baoshan, Tengchong, Ruili

Since as early as the second century BCE the Southwest Silk Road has connected South and Southeast Asia to China, overland via Burma, through Yunnan province and into Sichuan. Over two thousand years of trade, human migration and cultural diffusion have contributed to the region’s uniquely rich and diverse history. However the Southwest Silk Road has remained one of the least investigated and understood of the Silk Road passages.

During World War II, China’s cooperation with international forces to ward off the Japanese invasion brought the region —specifically the Southwest Silk Road and its successors the Burma Road and the Stilwell Military Road— and its history into the limelight and some investigation into its cultural significance was undertaken. However, the development of new technologies, rendered the route’s military function obsolete and the region quickly regained its status as an enigmatic frontier land. 

one in which the often sharply distinguished cultures of South, Southeast and East Asia blend ubiquitously, though not always fluidly.This is most recognizable in the ethnic minority cultures that continue to co-exist along this historic passage, including: the Jingpo, Lisu, Achang, De’ang, Dai, Bai, Naxi and Yi ethnicities.
