Overview
Nine days from Kunming's tea towns down to Xishuangbanna's tropical borderlands. Make paper by hand in Manzhang Village, dress in full Dai costume at Manting Park, wander Asia's largest night market at Gaozhuang, then ride the high-speed train back north through Puer's tea terraces.
Highlights
Why you'll love this trip
- Board a high-speed train from Xishuangbanna back to Kunming. No overnight bus, no backtracking, just 3 hours of countryside blurring past at 200 km/h.
- Dress in Dai ethnic costume at Manzhang Village, the full silk getup with the headdress, then stroll Manting Park looking like you belong in the postcard.
- Make handmade paper at the intangible heritage workshop, pulp to fan in 20 minutes, walk out with a flower-pressed souvenir you actually made.
- Gaozhuang Starlight Night Market sprawls across 6 blocks, grilled skewers and mango sticky rice under neon, the largest night market in Asia and it shows.
- Pick strawberries in Kunming's outskirts before the tour ends, the kind of detour that makes no sense until you're elbow-deep in fruit you'll eat in the van.
