The Long Weekend is Here: 8-Day Tour to Kunming and Beyond

Have you ever dreamed of this? In the "Spring City" of Kunming, dance with the soaring black-headed gulls and marvel at the natural wonders of the Stone Forest maze, a "world-class spectacle." In romantic Dali, drive a jeep along the shores of Erhai Lake, letting the "Xia Guan Wind" blow away your worries. Stay in a lakeside guesthouse and privately enjoy the poetic scenery of "Cangshan Snow and Erhai Moon." In the soft and charming Lijiang, stroll along the cobblestone streets of Sifang Street, listen to the melodious Naxi ancient music, and encounter the dreamy Tiffany blue of Blue Moon Valley at the foot of the snow-capped mountains. - Itinerary Day 1: 『24-Hour Airport Pickup & Free Time』 Fly from various cities to Kunming → 24-hour airport pickup in Kunming → Check into Kunming hotel → Free time in the city Day 2: 『Kunming → Chuxiong』 Kunming → Stone Forest National 5A Scenic Area → Leju Village (pineapple bun included) → Bus to Chuxiong → Yi ethnic specialty dinner Day 3: 『Chuxiong → Dali』 Chuxiong → Ideal Garden → Xizhou Horse Carriage Ride → Seasonal Rice Fields → Dance with Golden Flowers → Ecological Corridor → Nanzhao Xicheng (choose one intangible cultural heritage experience) → Taihe City Ruins Day 4: 『Dali → Lijiang』 Dali Ancient City → Jade Dragon Snow Mountain → Impression Lijiang Show → Jade Dragon Snow Mountain Cable Car → Lijiang Ancient City Day 5: 『Lijiang → Kunming』 Shuhe Ancient Town → Blue Moon Valley → High-speed train from Dali back to Kunming Day 6: 『Wild Elephant Valley Adventure』 Kunming → High-speed train to Xishuangbanna → Wild Elephant Valley → Optional Dai Show or Lancang River Cruise (self-funded) Day 7: 『Natural Village Tour』 Xishuangbanna → Natural Village → Primitive Forest Park → High-speed train back to Kunming Day 8: Kunming → 24-hour airport drop-off → End of trip - 🚀 Service Upgrades: ✔️ Concierge-Level Care: 24-hour micro-concierge + airport transfers 🚐 10-year veteran quality inspection team 🏅 + on-site inspections once every 7 days! ✔️ Welcome Gift: Receive a rolling suitcase 🎁 upon booking (shipped to your departure location after the trip ends) ✔️ Landing Surprise: Flower bouquet airport pickup to feel the romance of the Spring City! ✔️ On-Trip Surprises: Newlywed gift - flower bed decoration!

Avoid strenuous activities upon arrival, drink plenty of water, and rest well. Consider preparing Rhodiola or portable oxygen in advance. Sun Protection and Warmth: Yunnan has strong UV rays and significant temperature differences between day and night. Be sure to bring high-SPF sunscreen, sunglasses, a sun hat, and a warm jacket. Health and Diet: Pay attention to food hygiene and avoid consuming raw or cold foods. Consider bringing digestive medicine. Local specialty foods may be sour and spicy; please inform us in advance if you have dietary restrictions. Respect for Culture: Respect the customs of local ethnic minorities. For example, do not touch others' headscarves in Yi areas, and avoid stepping on thresholds in Tibetan areas.
