When you come to Kunming, don't just go to Dianchi Lake to enjoy the breeze. The truly authentic place is the "Old Kunming" area in the city center that hasn't been demolished – Kunming Old Street.
The Jiubei Building on Guanghua Street, with two curved

Lijiang Old Town has no city walls, because the character "city" is superfluous here.
When you walk in, you're not entering a scenic spot, but a living piece of history. Eight hundred years ago, the caravans of the Tea Horse Road passed through here, car

Quieter than Dali, more restrained than Lijiang, Shaxi is Yunnan's last "slow" place.
Shaxi is not an "ancient town"; it's a letter left by the Tea Horse Road for modern people.
Hoof prints still remain on the flagstones of Sideng Street, and the stone l

Shangri-La Tiger Leaping Gorge is a grand canyon carved out by the Jinsha River between Yulong Snow Mountain (5596m) and Haba Snow Mountain (5396m). It is approximately 23 km long, with the narrowest point of the river being over 20 meters wide, and a ver

Staying in the Middle Tiger Leaping Gorge is completely different from the "scenic gate + sightseeing escalator" experience of the Upper Tiger Leaping Gorge. This is the intersection of the high-road hiking trail and the wild gorge by the river. At night,

Shangri-La Baishuitai is China's version of Pamukkale, "nurtured" by ten-thousand-year-old spring water at the foot of Haba Snow Mountain, and also a sacred place for Naxi Dongba culture. Milky white travertine layers form "fields left by immortals," and

Ganden Sumtseling Monastery, meaning "the land of auspicious joy" in Tibetan, is the largest Tibetan Buddhist Gelugpa monastery in Yunnan Province. It is known as "Little Potala Palace" because it mimics the layout of the Potala Palace in Lhasa and is bui

Napa Lake, known in Tibetan as "Napa Tso," meaning "lake behind the forest," is located approximately 8 kilometers northwest of Shangri-La city. With an elevation of about 3260 meters, it is Yunnan's most representative plateau seasonal lake-marsh wetland

Lugu Lake is located at the junction of Ninglang, Lijiang, Yunnan and Yanyuan, Liangshan, Sichuan. It has an elevation of approximately 2,690 meters, a lake area of about 50 square kilometers, and a maximum depth of 105.3 meters, making it China's third d

As night fell, the lake breeze turned cool, and lights first lit up in the squares of villages like Daluoshui, Lige, Dazhu, and Xiaoluoshui. Pine kindling was lit, flames leaped up, and as a bamboo flute or lusheng sounded, Mosuo girls in red tops and whi

Taking a pig trough boat to Liwubi Island is the "slowest" way to experience Lugu Lake: no rushing around the lake, no chasing filters, just letting the Mosuo boatman propel you from the shore to the heart of the lake, oar by oar.
