Visit to Dehong (Page 2)...
Here are more pictures of our trip to Dehong. After seeing the orphanage, we were treated to a personal tour of the town by the administrator of the orphanage. It was an incredible opportunity as you can see below. What was espeically interesting was the fact that Dehong is predominently the Dai ethnic group, with strong influences from Thailand and Laos. As a result, many of the buildings, foods and the overall culture reflect that influence.
