China: Yunnanese caravaneers drinking rice wine at a village in Yunnan, 1937
In southwest China Yunnanese muleteers have long been the masters of transport and commerce, with trade routes extending to Tibet and throughout the Golden Triangle Region. Many were Muslim, perhaps the majority, though we know from contemporary writings that even these Muslim Hui or Chin Haw sometimes drank alcohol.
Haw is a name given to Yunnanese Chinese, both Han and Hui, by local Tai peoples.
