Abstract: College students' outlook on happiness in ethnic regions of Yunnan is positive in general but is also to be improved. The education on outlook of happiness for the college students should be aimed at the existing problems. Educators should follow the Marxist outlook on happiness in guiding the students to shape their ideas, and focus on teaching to them "the outlook of labor-based happiness", "the outlook of ethnic-unity-based happiness", "the outlook of virtue-based happiness" and "the outlook of ecologicalharmony-based happiness". To achieve such educational goals, social sectors, educational institutions, families and individuals should work together closely by making good use of the multi-ethnic and multi-cultural characteristics of Yunnan and the advantages of integration of the local traditional ethnic cultures.

Key words: frontier ethnic minority areas in Yunnan, outlook on happiness, education of college students
