Itinerary in travelling in Yangshuo and Yunnan

by travelonely

1. It's a good time to go these places since they are all in southern China and not cold in December. The usual Li River cruise doesn't run at this time because of the low water level.2. It's enough time to see these places listed above, check with this itinerary on http://www.lonelyplanetchina.com//webPro/packageTours/bookingSys/detailedItinerary.jsp?id=108, and then make your own itinerary.3. There's no direct flight from Zhongdian to Guilin or Guangzhou. You have to take the connecting flight with a stopover in Kunming. For China flights info, pls check with www.ctrip.com or www.elong.com

Xishuangbanna

by victorwkf

Xishuangbanna is an unique and beautiful place in Southern China which has a tropical environment as it forms part of Indochina. In this place, life is very relaxed and there are many minority groups living here, especially the Dai people who are related to the people of Thailand. The capital of Xishuangbanna is Jinghong city situated next to the famous Mekong River. If you visit Yunnan, do consider visiting Xishuangbanna.

It's all about the journey

by travelpug

While traveling on the road in Yunnan, you will be amazed by its scenery. You would never get bored while on the bus. You will see small charming villages, mountains, rivers, etc. I sure had enjoyed my journey from one destination to the next.

Shilin - Stone Forest

by travelpug

The Stone Forest (Shilin) is an area full of these dark grey rock formations that created by nature. Many of the rocks are given names based on their shapes. I have to give credit to the chinese people. Their imagination is what that makes the visit to the Stone Forest more interesting. Aparently, another place on earth that has the same type of rock is in Czech Republic.

Tiger Leaping Gorge

by travelpug

Tiger Leaping Gorge (or HuTiaoXia) is the deepest gorge in the world. It is located north of Lijiang. It has stuning view! On one side you can see Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, on another side you can see Haba Snow Mountain. It's a good place for hiking.

Kunming

by travelpug

Kunming is the provincial capitol of Yunnan. It is nicknamed the Spring city for it's climate. It is comfortable as in spring time all year long. If you are flying into Yunnan, Kunming is probably the city that you will arrive in. The city is mid size by China's standard. But it has lots to offer.

Meili Snow Mountain

by travelpug

Further north from Shangrila is a small town called Deqin. The main reason for travelers to come here is to witness the majestic Meili Snow Mountain. The mountain is best viewed from Feilaishi. It is one of my favourite place on earth.
