Kunming, the capital city of Yunnan Province, is not only famous for its breathtaking natural landscapes like the Stone Forest (also known as Shilin), but also for its rich and diverse culinary traditions. Yunnan cuisine, known as Dian cuisine, boasts a unique blend of flavors influenced by the minority groups in the region, the topographical variation, and historical trade routes. In the Stone Forest area, local Yi minority food culture plays a significant role, showcasing the integration of wild edible plants and fungi into their dishes - ingredients that are abundant thanks to the region's climate and fertile land.
