A Closer Look at Yunnan

Yunnan stretches across China’s south-western highlands, bringing together snow-capped mountains, subtropical valleys, historic towns and diverse ethnic traditions. Explore the old streets of Dali and Lijiang, the rice terraces of Yuanyang, the landscapes around Shangri-La or the tropical south near Xishuangbanna. Its variety of climates and cultures makes the province ideal for travellers who want nature, heritage and slower journeys beyond China’s largest cities.
