Reviews
This was my first trip to Mainland China and I’m happy I have chosen Yunnan Province. I recommend this package for solo travellers. Though the guides do not speak English, they tried their best to communicate with me since I do not speak and understand Chinese. It was just sad that I was not able to upgrade the cable car ride despite requesting in advance. Also, they do not give the hotel names in advance. But in general, everything went fine.
Finally made it to Yunnan and it was everything I dreamed of! Lugu Lake's crystal-clear waters, the peaceful vibes of Shuhe Ancient Town, and the incredible local cuisine made this 6-day journey truly special. Our tour leader went above and beyond – even prepared oxygen cans and sunscreen for everyone. No hidden costs, no rush, just pure enjoyment. Every detail was well taken care of. Yunnan is a place you'll want to visit again and again!
This Yunnan trip exceeded all expectations! The Stone Forest in Kunming was breathtaking, Dali Old Town felt like stepping into a painting, and Lijiang's ancient canals were so charming. Our guide was super attentive – no forced shopping stops, always happy to take photos and recommend authentic local eats. The accommodation was conveniently located and very cozy. Brought my parents along and they loved every moment. Great value for money. Will definitely come back!
Overall, we were very pleased with this tour. There is room for improvement. For example: we wish we were told ahead of time about the bus pitstops for the driver and washroom breaks. One day we had to skip dinner in order to save time but the guide did not tell us there was a planned stop that we could buy some take-away food. It would have helped us to plan when to eat and not to worry about not getting any food at all during the bus trip.
both our tour guides ate good especially Carol. she speaks some English and extremely helpful and gave good information. she even send us by taxi even we leave the group. excellent and good tour leader
The itinerary was well-planned and not rushed. The scenery in Yunnan is truly beautiful, and I'll definitely come back if I have the chance. The tour guide was very helpful. Sally was my travel concierge; she responded quickly, and whenever I felt lost, she always promptly advised me on what to do. I highly recommend booking with them.
The scenery in Dali and Lijiang is truly beautiful, with the lush green Cangshan Mountains and the stunning Erhai Lake. Lijiang Old Town is also wonderful, offering great accommodation and convenient transportation. The itinerary arranged by the tour guide was also very reasonable.
The Trip had run quite well except it was raining every day which made us a bit challenging to walk . The tour guide had supported us quite well considering we are foreigner which need more time to understand their speak. Overall we had missed two spot places which were shuanglang Ancient town and lashihai. Instead they had brought us to one herbal shopping shop at the 2nd last day at Lijiang which didnt follow the term of Condition strictly (No Shopping Place). On last day at visitor centre , we had also been brought to Jade shopping shop. ALthough they had not forced us to buy, but sometimes it took our effort to reject all offers from shop keeper. It might be good to replace such Shopping activies on last day in Kunming with Local tour on Kunming old street. Furthermore, On the last day of Wyndham hotel at kunming, one of the receptionist is rude toward the customer enquiry. They have claimed as 5 star hotels. But the service of her doesnt show 5 star hotel service.
Accommodation: Very satisfied Tour Guide: Satisfied
It was nice and smooth only problem was guide and other people couldn't communicate in English
Good to know
- [Presidential Pink Luxury Cruise on Erhai Lake]: If the pink cruise ship is suspended or tickets are unavailable during peak season, it will be changed to a large Erhai Lake cruise ship. We appreciate your understanding.
- [Spruce Meadow ropeway] If the ropeway is closed due to wind, or if tickets for the large ropeway are scarce, restricted, or undergoing maintenance during peak season, or due to other force majeure factors that prevent tourists from taking the large ropeway, our agency will change to the Spruce Meadow small ropeway based on the actual quota from the ropeway company and refund the ropeway price difference of 60 yuan/person. If the small ropeway is also unavailable, a refund of 120 yuan/person will be issued.
- Complimentary travel photography + aerial photography dual experience (per family, each family receives 4 electronic photos, and each group receives one 60-second short video). Please wait patiently if there is a queue during peak season.
- Please note that hotels cannot be specified. If hotel resources are tight during peak season, our agency reserves the right to adjust hotels and arrange them according to the same standard.
- Yunnan is located on the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, with a large daily temperature difference between day and night (12-15 degrees Celsius). Please check the local weather conditions before departure, pay attention to clothing, and bring enough warm clothing. Yunnan has strong sunlight and intense UV rays. For prolonged outdoor activities, please wear a sun hat, sunglasses, and apply sunscreen to protect your skin. The weather changes frequently, so please bring rain gear.
- Yunnan has high mountains and steep slopes, with strict speed limits. The itinerary areas are at high altitudes with low oxygen content, so the tourist vehicle speed may sometimes be only 20-30 yards when going uphill. We ask for your understanding.
- Yunnan is a minority ethnic region. Please respect the religious and living customs of the local ethnic minorities.
- The economic development in Yunnan is relatively backward. Hotels of the same star rating have smaller scale and fewer facilities compared to the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions. Some newly built and better-equipped hotels are generally located on the outskirts of the city, about a 15-20 minute drive from the city center (unless there are special circumstances). Due to the special climate of Yunnan, hotel air conditioning may be timed or not available in winter. If you need extra quilts, electric blankets, etc., please ask the hotel staff.
- Lijiang is at a high altitude. Please pay attention to rest to prevent altitude sickness. People with heart disease, high blood pressure, and other conditions should be cautious. Please prepare some common personal medicines for emergencies.
- Yunnan is a multi-ethnic province, with a local cuisine that is mainly sour and spicy, and many cold dishes. Group meals for tours are generally for 10 people per table. Yunnan's diet is quite different from other provinces and may not suit your taste, so please be mentally prepared. The local soil and water are slightly acidic, so it is recommended to drink more tea.
- Tourists must carry valid identification documents when traveling. Those under 16 years old must carry their original household registration booklet or valid household registration certificate, and infants must carry their birth certificate.
- When purchasing tourist souvenirs and local specialties, be careful not to casually touch display samples to prevent accidental damage. Merchants in the ancient city sometimes sell counterfeit goods, so please be careful when selecting.
- Travel essentials: raincoat or umbrella, sports shoes, cold medicine, stomach medicine, insect repellent, sunscreen, sun hat, sunglasses, etc. (Lijiang has a large temperature difference between morning and evening, so please bring slightly thicker clothes, such as sweaters, long-sleeved shirts, light and warm jackets, and wear travel shoes).
