Hello Sophie-Anne,
This trip did not match our expectations… because it exceeded them!
Yunnan is a superb region, with a great diversity of landscapes, all magnificent, and a rich culture. The people are smiling and welcoming, and they love a joke… in short, very friendly.
Our three drivers were perfect: excellent drivers, attentive and efficient without being intrusive or bossy.
Every stage was a new discovery, full of authenticity and well-being.
What we liked least, though we’re being very fussy here, was Lijiang, which was too crowded and full of tourist shops. Still, it was pleasant if you went for a walk early in the morning.
The food is excellent.
The choice of hotels was perfect. Even the simpler hotels in Lexiaguo and Duoyishu were pleasant, with hot showers, heated mattresses and a very friendly welcome.
We really liked the Yuanmou Earth Forest and loved Shangri-La…
I’ll stop there, because there would be too many enthusiastic comments to write!
It was a wonderful trip, very well organised in every respect, and it truly lived up to our expectations.
Kind regards,
Catherine and Gérard
