Overview
Nine days across rural Yunnan. You'll see Dongchuan's crimson farmland, sunrise over Yuanyang's terraced fields, ride a century-old metre-gauge train in Jianshui, and make tofu by hand in a local workshop. Seven nights split between Kunming, Jianshui, Yuanyang and smaller highland towns.
Highlights
Why you'll love this trip
- Watch Yuanyang's terraced rice fields catch the sunrise, rows of water reflecting cloud layers that photographers fly halfway across China to shoot.
- Dongchuan Red Earth turns the hillsides into striped rust and burnt orange, farmland that looks like a painter's palette from the bus window.
- Jianshui's tofu workshop shows you the whole process, well water to soy milk to pressed squares, then grilled tableside at the ancient town night market.
- Climb Jiaozi Snow Mountain in Yunnan's alpine zone, where the air thins and the group stops every 50 meters to catch breath and take photos.
- Sleep across five different counties in 9 days, from Kunming's urban grid to Yuanyang's hilltop villages where the Hani minority farms the same terraces their ancestors carved.
