Tailor-made trip to Yunnan

How it works?

Local travel agency based in Kunming

Traveling to Yunnan, reputed to be the most beautiful province of China, remains a special experience. Located in the far southwest of China, the proximity to Vietnam, Laos, Myanmar and Tibet gives Yunnan an identity of its own, made of both exoticism and authenticity.

Yunnan is made up of several worlds: the tropical region of Xishuangbanna, rich in minority villages, tea culture, colorful markets; the mountainous region in South Yunnan whose masterpiece is the rice terraces around Yuanyang; the plains of central Jianshui and Kunming, including the beautiful village of Tuanshan, the site of the stone forest, the amazing red lands of Dongchuan; the Bai world of Dali and Shaxi, the Naxi world of Lijiang, and finally the wonderful Tibetan country of Shangri La, passing through the Tiger Leaping Gorge, among the deepest in the world.

These cultural and geographical differences that make Yunnan a must-see tourist destination for any trip to China, also give travelers a multiple experience in minimum time and travel.

When to go to Yunnan?

Best seasons: spring and autumn

Spring and autumn are the best seasons to travel to Yunnan, especially the months of April, May, October and November.

However avoid the very beginning of May and October because there are national holidays in China (golden weeks), with many Chinese tourists traveling to the most beautiful destinations. Spring and autumn offer the best compromise between mild temperatures (between 20 and 25°C during the day, no less than 10°C in the evening), and the limited risk of rainfall.

Yunnan in summer and winter

The Chinese tourists are coming more and more to Yunnan during the summer, to escape the heat of the east coast, the altitude of Yunnan providing better temperatures then, however there is a higher risk of rains during the summer. There are many hiking opportunities in Yunnan, however we do not recommend long treks in summer due to the risk of slippery trails.

Winter can be a good season for a tour in Yunnan, as it is guaranteed to have a blue sky and sunny most of the day, and the risk of rain is almost zero. It is still colder then, especially in Shangri La, so it is advisable to choose good hotels, well heated.
