The guide was exclusively in Chinese. Just use a translator app. He really took care of our meals (requesting halal or vegetarian if the former not available).The was amazing, the stone forest time to explore was a little short (we requested to explore ourselves since we didn't understand the guide anyway - about 1 hour 15 min)

We really enjoy this day tour which was well arranged and planned from end to end. Our tour guide, 海导 is very informative, friendly and thoughtful. Lunch included is also good. The scenery of Stone forest is really amazing. Dianchi Lake is just for bird watching

Just got back from an amazing tour to Xishan Mountain and Dianchi Lake in Kunming, and I'm still thinking about those views! The scenery was absolutely stunning - everything I hoped for and more. The weather was perfectly cool and refreshing (slightly chilly, but in the best way possible). It made the whole experience even more enjoyable. Dianchi Lake was a highlight - watching the seagulls glide over the water with that incredible backdrop was mesmerizing. Seriously, the view here alone is worth the trip. Up on Xishan Mountain, we explored beautiful temples tucked into the hillside and were rewarded with breathtaking panoramic views. The combination of cultural sites and natural beauty made it such a memorable experience. If you're in Kunming, don't skip this. The fresh mountain air, the peaceful lake, and those unforgettable views - it's the perfect way to experience what Yunnan has to offer.

Great ViewAmazing Day Trip to Fuxian Lake! I just returned from a fantastic one-day tour to Fuxian Lake and it exceeded all my expectations. Everything about this tour was beautiful – the scenery was absolutely stunning and the atmosphere was so peaceful and relaxing. The tour service was excellent from start to finish. Our guide was professional and attentive, making sure everyone was comfortable throughout the day. The itinerary was well-planned with plenty of time to enjoy each stop without feeling rushed. I was also pleasantly surprised by the quality of the meals provided. The food was delicious and gave us a nice taste of local flavors. It's always a bonus when the dining experience matches the quality of the sightseeing!

Tour guide: When planning the trip, I inquired with several travel companies, specifically asking if they had female guides. Klook recommended Sister Mei to us, saying that customers who had been with her thought she was exceptionally good. So, after comparing several options, we embarked on a five-day, four-night journey with Sister Mei as our driver. Unexpectedly, Sister Mei turned out to be a fantastic guide – patient, meticulous, conscientious, and responsible. She took everyone's feelings into account and took care of us without us having to say much. Sister Mei thoughtfully prepared fruits, snacks, and local delicacies for us. She never rushed us, cared about whether we were warm enough, and demonstrated excellent driving skills on difficult roads. I knew choosing a female driver and female guide wouldn't be a mistake!

had a FANTASTIC time here. the park had lots of thrilling rides for adults and kids too. It is also way bigger than you might think. Went at 3pm yesterday and there wasn't much people so we managed to play everything we wanted by 7.30pm. If you love theme parks, this is the place for you!!!

The experience of this trip was very pleasant, and I will definitely come back. After all, Yunnan is such a beautiful place that it would be impossible to see everything in just one visit. Overall, I am quite satisfied with the tour. One of the main advantages of joining a guided tour is that everything is taken care of for you, so you don’t have to worry about anything. The itinerary includes all the major attractions, and the meals served on the tour bus are decent, with good flavors and plenty of food. The hotels are clean, comfortable, and relatively quiet, providing a good opportunity for rest throughout the trip. Breakfast is also excellent, and there is a different guide available at each location. Overall, I am very satisfied.

This tour is highly recommended for anyone who's looking to travel to Yunnan. The itinerary was really great, it didn't felt rushed and we felt like we got to visit many places. The accommodations were top-notch and had really great vibes and views. The tour guide assigned to us was 和师傅, he was very thoughtful and considerate throughout the entire trip. Bought us to local eateries and performances when we had time to spare. We learnt so much about the history of the many places that we drive through, the attractions we went and even about the difference tribes. I will definitely be bringing my family along again for a trip so they can experience what I experienced. Highly recommend 和师傅 for your tour!

I had always wanted to watch the peacock dance. I was expecting to sit through the show till the last 5 mins only for this specific dance but gosh I was so wrong! The performers were so professional! They danced, sang and played the drum so well! I had watched the ethnic dance on TV show and never understood the meaning. The screens at the sides provided both Chinese and English explanations. I was impressed how the performances could sing with their chest and they danced so hard throughout the performance. The peacock dancer had another part in the middle of the show which was better than the peacock dance itself. I could never imagine how one can move the body like that! The visual of the stage was good too. Unfortunately the theatre was less than maybe 10% filled. Please support these fantastic dancers and fabulous show!
