11 Days Yunnan Nature & Culture Tour from Kunming to Shangri

Highlights

Slip into the stone labyrinth of the Stone Forest and see limestone sculpted by wind and rain for 200 million years, some sharp as blades, some squat as mushrooms, squeezing through narrow gaps and nearly losing your way.
Stroll slowly on the cobblestones of Dali Old Town, the clouds of Cangshan drifting from street end to alley end, the beat of hand drums drifting from a café on Foreigner Street.
Follow the water through Lijiang Old Town, they say with the current you enter and against it you leave and never get lost, the cobblestones worn glossy by centuries of footsteps.
Sit for a while at the Sifang Tingyin Square in Shuhe, Naxi elders dancing in the sun, the clatter of horseshoes echoing from the cobblestones of the ancient Tea Horse Road.
