In this episode, Peter and Jeff Hutchins visit the Chinese province of Yunnan. Yunnan is province with largest diversity in all of China. There are 25 different minorities in this province. To learn about these different minorities, the brothers visit the National Ethnic Minorities Park. The brothers soon discover that to really understand the cultures of these people, they will need to visit them in their native villages. Pete and Jeff attend a Lisu festival that includes an 11 story sword ladder and walking on hot coals! Peter decides to take a shaky ride on an old-fashioned Ferris wheel and they join in on a traditional crossbow competition. Then they take a zip line over a steep gorge to a Lisu village. They visit a Bai elephant park and get a surprise elephant massage. From here they go on to participate in the Dai Water Splashing Festival. The brothers have had fun exploring these unique cultures, but they can't help but notice how many of them are just becoming tourist attractions.
