A Qixi-themed group wedding was held on Aug 19 at Riyue Square in the Stone Forest Scenic Area in Kunming, Yunnan province. Fifty couples tied the knot amid dramatic stone formations, shaped over millions of years.
Yunnan opera evolved under the influence of other opera styles from the late Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) to the reign of Emperor Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911).
