Overview
Eight days and seven nights through winter Yunnan. Kunming's migratory seagulls, Dali's Santorini-style hillside, Erhai Lake with a styled photoshoot and ethnic costume, Lashihai Wetland, Lijiang's old town, and snow mountain scenery at Balagezong in Shangri-La. Oxygen-supplied rooms included at altitude.
Highlights
Why you'll love this trip
- Watch seagulls blanket Haigeng Dam at sunrise, thousands of migratory birds circling in from Siberia for the Yunnan winter.
- Strap on ethnic costume at Erhai Ecological Corridor for a full photography package — music caravan, singer backup, three digital shots, plus a group aerial video.
- Sleep in an oxygen-supply room at Shangri-La's Holiday Inn Express, the kind of detail that makes sense at 3,200 meters above sea level.
- Trek Balagezong's snow canyon in winter when the gorge walls ice over and the performing arts park sits half-frozen under the peaks.
- Cruise Lashihai Wetland by boat, scanning for cranes and ducks in the reeds, the air cold enough to fog your breath.
