clean room and location is superb. 7-11 is nearby, 10 minutes walk to train station. Breakfast can be improved.

if you have time and havent experienced a Chinese cultural performance and hotpot, then consider this while at Lijiang. Within an hour, youget to enjoy food and watch some singing and dancing. the games beforehand were fun to play - you might win something! the location is a bit far from the old town..

i really enjoyed the performances here. the food is okay, hotpot, self-serve and all you can eat. the bonfire dance party was really cool to watch from above, on the balcony, looking down! the toilets are a bit far and open - no doors, squat style in another building. for tourists, foreigners, this will be quite an experience! nevetheless, go with an open mind and enjoy the Tibetan performances - they are worth it!

I had a wonderful experience at Kunming Jueyan! The staff were professional, friendly, and attentive throughout the entire experience. The costumes and makeup were beautifully done, making me feel fully immersed. The ambience was elegant and beautifully decorated, creating a memorable atmosphere. The food was also delicious and well presented. Everything was well organized, and I highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Kunming!

We were extremely satisfied with our private customized trip to Yunnan; it was a choice we absolutely don't regret! First and foremost, the entire itinerary planning and communication process went very smoothly. The team is highly professional. They didn't just arrange things according to our requests; they also proactively offered suggestions and planned based on our ideas, preferences, and expectations. If you already know where you want to go and what you want to experience, it's even better to tell them in advance. They truly go out of their way to make sure your itinerary perfectly matches your expectations. Throughout the entire process, they were very respectful of our ideas and never forced us to go anywhere or do anything specific. Instead, they offered professional advice and allowed us to make our own choices. Communication via WeChat was also very convenient, with quick response times. Any issues we had during the trip were promptly addressed, which gave us great peace of mind. If you're considering a trip to Yunnan, I highly recommend booking their private customized tour! You won't have to worry about transportation, routes, hotel connections, or daily planning. You just need to get in the car and enjoy the journey. It's truly perfect for anyone who wants to travel easily while still having a high-quality itinerary. Additionally, I must give special praise to every driver we encountered on this trip! Each driver was incredibly friendly, professional, and very willing to share local culture, interesting stories, and the scenery along the way. This made the entire journey more meaningful and heartwarming than just 'checking off tourist spots.' Most importantly, every driver was extremely punctual; they never made us wait, and they were always happy to help along the way. We are truly grateful to them. Special thanks to our driver for the entire trip, Master Lu Chao. Lu Chao, thank you for your hard work! Thank you for your companionship, patience, and care throughout the journey. Your professionalism and attentiveness made us feel very safe and secure throughout the trip, and we made many wonderful memories. We are truly lucky to have met you this time! Overall, we have absolutely no regrets about this choice. Thank you to the entire team for all your arrangements, care, and effort! Our Yunnan trip was delightful and well worth it.

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.

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.
