I recently travelled to China for a trip which was truly breathtaking. Included in the trip was some of the most spectacular sightseeing I’ve ever experienced; including the Great Wall and Tiananmen Square, plus golf on the highest and longest course in the world – Jade Dragon – and the two best courses in Asia (the Lake and Mountain courses at Spring City).

One of my most memorable experiences however, was the evening meal and Minority Show in the Kunming area. We were lucky enough to be staying at the Spring City Resort, where the two best golf courses (mentioned before) in the whole of Asia are located, so we were already enjoying a couple of extra special days during the ten day trip…however the night we went to the Minority Show was nothing short of spectacular!

An array of colourful dancers performed on stage throughout the evening, each in their own ethnic minority’s traditional outfits. I’m not normally the most cultured of people when it comes to the performing arts, but this was an absolute treat! We also enjoyed a fantastic meal while the show was going on, and at one point the dancers came over to our table for a bit of interaction. If you’re in China and staying at the Spring City Resort, make sure you find time to go to a Minority Show, because it will turn out to be an evening you’ll thoroughly enjoy and will never forget.
