Travel Through Yunnan

A global hotspot for natural and cultural diversity, discover the wonders of Yunnan Province on this journey.

About Your Trip

Yunnan is among China’s most spectacular provinces, a place of outstanding biodiversity and an equally precious tapestry of human cultures. Known for its soaring mountains, lush canyons, karst formations and tea plantations, Yunnan is also home to more than 50 distinct ethnic groups. The province includes several UNESCO World Heritage Sites, including Three Parallel Rivers National Park.

This once-in-a-lifetime package serves as a comprehensive introduction to Yunnan Province’s vast scenic and cultural palette. Tour historic cities such as Kunming, Dali and Lijiang; view the prehistoric fossils of Dinosaur Valley; witness the timeless practice of cormorant fishing; drink in the glorious landscapes of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain and Jade Water Village scenic areas and discover Shangri-La on a cable-car ascent of Shika Snow Mountain. Between these highlights are many more equally stirring destinations and events.
