Henan 8-Day Tour: Scenic Area & Scenic Area

Kunming is spring-like year-round; Dianchi Lake, West Hill and the Ethnic Village show highland scenery and diversity. A hub for Dali/Lijiang, famous for flowers and cross-bridge noodles.

Dali sits beneath Cangshan and by Erhai Lake; the ancient town and Shuanglang invite slow travel. Cycle the lake, visit the pagodas and taste Bai tie-dye — a healing highland lakeside.

Lijiang Old Town leans against Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, its Naxi lanes and canals a slow-living icon. Visit Mu Residence and the night bars; extend to the snow mountain or Lugu Lake.

Jade Dragon Snow Mountain north of Lijiang has thirteen snow peaks; a cable car reaches the glacier park at 4,000m+. See the Impression Lijiang show and Blue Moon Valley (watch altitude).

Erhai is Dali's highland lake, clear and winding; Shuanglang and Caicun are the chill spots. Cycle or boat it — morning mist and golden sunset make the 'wind-flower-snow-moon' scenery.

The Stone Forest east of Kunming is a karst wonder of blade-like peaks tied to the Ashima legend. Wander the groves and meet Yi culture — where geology meets ethnicity.
