Discover the Best of Yunnan

Journey through Yunnan, where snow-capped mountains, turquoise lakes, ancient towns and diverse ethnic cultures come together in one unforgettable destination.

Begin in Kunming before travelling to beautiful Dali, where the blue waters of Erhai Lake meet the white architecture of Dali Santorini. Wander through the historic Dali Ancient City, discover lively local streets and experience the rich heritage and flavours of the region.

Continue into Yunnan’s historic heart through charming towns such as Xizhou and Shaxi, once part of the legendary Tea Horse Road, before arriving in romantic Lijiang. One of the biggest highlights is spectacular Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, complemented by the crystal-clear waters of Blue Moon Valley, the dramatic Impression Lijiang performance and the peaceful surroundings of Shuhe Ancient Town.

For travellers wanting to venture further, selected itineraries continue to Shangri-La, taking you through the breathtaking Tiger Leaping Gorge and into a world of Tibetan culture. Explore ancient Dukezong, visit magnificent Songzanlin Monastery, often called the “Little Potala Palace”, and admire the seasonal landscapes of Napa Lake.

For an even deeper Yunnan adventure, discover the spectacular landscapes and unique Mosuo culture of Lugu Lake. Cruise across the lake aboard a traditional Pig Trough Boat, experience a colourful bonfire celebration, learn about the Mosuo community and wake up to beautiful lake views before continuing your journey.

From ancient cities and Tibetan monasteries to dramatic gorges, alpine landscapes and fascinating local cultures, Yunnan offers a different discovery at every turn.
