If you are looking for an unique stay and experience "Hani" culture, I would highly recommend staying with the family. When I arrived, the host invited me for a hike through the ricefields to see the sunset, and afterwards I joined the family for a traditional dinner with local dishes, straight from their own garden. Especially as a solo traveller, I felt at home instantly and they will do everything to make your stay comfortable. The food is delicious, the room was spotless, and the host can recommend great places for hiking. Don't forget their delicious coffee and tea! One minor thing, when you go back to Kunming by bus, just make sure that the host reserves the bus ticket. I unexpectely had to change buses in Yuangyang because it was full. I would definitely come back, and their homestay is one of my highlights in China. Thank you again for the memorable stay and for welcoming me with open arms. See you next time!
