I started my tour of Yunnan with a visit to the Stone Forest, a very neat and well maintained place. The spring blossom at this time of the year gives it a touch of pink.

DongChuan Red Land

Dong Chuan Red land is a memorable stop in Yunnan, certainly not to be missed. This mountainous region above 2000m has a soil structure rich in copper which gives it a characteristic reddish brown colour. It is also a very windy region that is exploited for its wind energy with the construction of numerous wind turbines. Early morning wind can give you the chill.

Yunnan Dali

When it comes to Yunnan, Dali is never left out. This ancient walled city was an important seat of administration in ancient times and the wall was reinforced during the Ming dynasty. The Bai ethnic minority is a dominant cultural force here. It is also nestled close to the Erhai Lake, a pristine lake one third the size of Singapore. Spring is a good time to visit Dali

Yes agreed. Very nice photos from Durachip!

Look like I will need to explore Dong Chuan and Dali during my next trip.

My purposed of the trip is for bird watching

Yunnan Lijiang

Lijiang is the most beautiful ancient town in Yunnan. This 800 yr-old town is very well preserved, and it would take days to explore this sprawling town entirely. Its charm is exemplified by the many small bridges and flowing streams, and the many small shops, cafes and restaurants alongside. The Chinese phrase “小桥流水” is a very apt description for this charming town.

Mar 16. Generally, a good month, but not for Shangrila. We were told by the guide that late May is the better time to see Shangrila.

Not at all. We had excellent tour guides, polite and helpful. We were also quite impressed with the level of service and friendliness in Kunming.

Hi guys, I'm planning a trip to Yunnan in September. Would like to know if anyone had rented a car without driver there?
