Why yunnan rhymes the way it does

Pull yunnan apart phonetically and you get a two-syllable word with the front-and-flat /æ/ (/æ/) as the rhyme-bearing vowel; the close trails through a nasal hum. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 45 matches, family rhymes 64, additive and subtractive together 155, assonance 6,419, and consonance 1049. The mix gives you options across the board. Strict rhymes for the structural beats, family or assonance for the interior lines. What matters when you're writing: the ear forgives slants in service of meaning. If the strict rhyme is the predictable word, the assonance match will usually hit harder. Yunnan is a word where the slant choice almost always reads as more thoughtful than the obvious end-rhyme.
