Taking 16 cities in Yunnan province for basic research unit analyzed the evolution trend of tourism economic rank, scale pattern and rank scale structure from 2008 to 2011 by using rank clock theory, markov transition probability matrix, rank-size rule. The results show that the change of medium tourism income cities’ rank was relatively frequent, cities which had larger tourism economic scale remain stable, and smaller tourism economic scale change to lower level; the distribution of tourism economic scale basically followed rank-size rule and had the double fractal characteristics, which the number of the scale area 1 increased year by year, and the structure was more equilibrium , and that the concentration degree of scale area 2 was higher; from difference degree, the whole tourism economic scale structure kept with a high level of equilibrium distribution state but the gap between the two scale area increased year by year.
