We had a fantastic morning at a family-owned tea plantation, where we were warmly welcomed by the host, 兰姐. Our guide, 香姐, was incredibly patient as she taught us the art of picking tea leaves. We even got to experience the process of drying and kneading the leaves afterwards. The entire experience was both educational and enjoyable. I highly recommend this activity! location:

An excellent and very polished experience. We had the best time ❤️ First we spent time at the market, with presentations and Q&A at various stalls, had a tasting and lots of smells. The teaching kitchen is modern and professional. Fancy showed us her other business, a patisserie with a range of excellent croissants and breads. This is not just about the cooking, it’s also about the Nazi culture. We had a great time.

Really positive experience! The entire tour was seamless and well-organised from start to finish. Our tour manager shared all the important information before and during the trip, including a detailed PDF, and coordinated with our driver/guide. She was also very responsive to all my questions. Warm outerwear, bottled water and oxygen tanks (personally didnt need this) were provided. Our guide, Mr 沈, was very thoughtful and explained everything clearly, including how to get around at each destination. He always made sure we were comfortable and replied promptly on WeChat too. The small group size was a bonus as we got comfortable with our fellow travellers quickly. We visited in early September and it wasn’t too crowded, as it wasn’t peak season. There was a slight drizzle, but the weather was nice and cool. Overall, a smooth and enjoyable trip!

the driver is very good. he very particular about the time. because in the morning, we need to take turn for the toilet 😂. Then he seems fierce but he actually concern on our time to spend for the whole trip. At the blue moon valley, we need to purchase the ticket there, he guided us to the counter explained to us on how the route and check point for electric car because he was not joining us. Then again, he remind us about the time because we need to go to cable car for Yulong Mountain by 11am. We actually got so caught up with the beautiful scenery and almost past our time. There are too many beautiful spot that for photographs but we have time constraints. Fortunately, our driver checked on us and guide us via WeChat where to go and we arrive at cable car by 11.30am. There, he guided us to the check in gate. During our time at Yulong mountain, the mist is thick and it is so cloudy that we cannot see the mountain peak. And lesson learnt here, please make sure you eat before going up.

Fantastic 5.0
I solo-traveled across Yunnan—Kunming, Dali, Lijiang & Shangri-La—and as someone with limited Mandarin knowledge and zero bandwidth to plan an itinerary, booking this trip through Klook was the absolute best decision! ​They took care of everything from end to end: seamless, on-time pick-ups & drop-offs, train, admissions & hotel booking . I appreciated the dedicated WeChat group coordination, where YiAn provided helpful updates on the weather & timely reminders for big activities like heading up to Shangri-La or visiting Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. Stripping away all the logistical stress lifted a massive mental load, allowing me to truly rest, recharge, & enjoy what was a much-needed break. ​I want to offer a very special commendation to Master Yang, who was my driver for the leg of the trip from Dali to Shangri-La. He went far and beyond his duties as a driver, seamlessly stepping in as an incredible local guide who introduced me to experiences I never would have discovered on my own.

Great show, worth seeing. If you select "tomorrow" when booking your tickets, remember to double-check your ticket confirmation details (for example, I booked tickets for July 13th for "tomorrow," but the issued ticket was for July 15th).

Fantastic 5.0
The seating arrangement in the VIP area was excellent, and we were provided with sun hats and bottled water before being seated. The performance, designed by Zhang Yimou, featured performers in ethnic minority costumes, creating a beautiful spectacle. The only downside is that it's weather-dependent; as an open-air theater, a heavy rain would detract from the experience.
