Abstract: China is a country with many nationalities. Each of them has formed its own special culture, which is different from the mainstream of majority Han nationality, by adapting to geo-environment during history. Due to different backgrounds, the regional developmental model of minorities in the western China is different from the Han nationality and western countries. Combining a knowledge-based civilization and sustainable development, the minority areas can seek the systematic integration of culture-economy-ecology. Based on this, the paper suggests that the minority areas in western Chinacshould take the way of emphasizing developmental quality rather than developmental quantity for a har-monious system of culture-economy-ecology. Some approaches'foi developing minority areas in western China have been put foreword.
