Pre-Tour - Stay overnight in Kunming
Arrive into Kunming the day before your tour is scheduled to begin in preparation of your private tour from Kunming to Guiyang. Visitors have the option to watch the Dynamic Yunnan show in the evening (additional fee), if interested. Otherwise, enjoy the evening at leisure in Kunming prior to your tour. Day 1 - Stay overnight in Shilin To commence the tour, your tour guide will meet you at your Kunming Hotel Lobby. The first stop is the Shilin Stone Forest and it takes approximately 1.5 x hours from Kunming to the Stone Forest. In 2007, the Shilin Stone Forest Scenic Area was listed as one of Yunnan's UNESCO world heritage sites. It's home to a unique type of karst landform and offers spectacular views overlooking the landscape. Following the visit to the Stone Forest, you'll be transferred to your hotel in Shilin to enjoy the evening at leisure. |
Day 2 - Stay overnight in Yuanyang Rice Terraces
During the morning, you'll depart from your Shilin Hotel and be transferred to the Yuanyang Rice Terraces. From Shilin, you'll drive approximately 300 kilometers to the Yuanyang Rice Terraces Scenic Area and it takes 4.5 x hours. Upon arriving, you'll see one of Yunnan Province's most famous attractions - the UNESCO listed Yuanyang Rice Terraces. The first stop is a visit to the Bada Rice Terraces, offering spectacular bird's eye views overlooking the enormous terraced valley below. Thereafter, stopover and visit Qingkou village before enjoying the views from Laohuzui. This is the best viewpoint for sunset where visitors can watch the different colors reflecting on the terraces. Afterwards, transfer to your Yuanyang Rice Terraces hotel to enjoy the evening at leisure. |
Day 3 - Stay overnight in Jianshui
To begin the day (early!), you'll meet your tour guide and driver at your Yuanyang Rice Terraces Hotel and start the tour by visiting a scenic viewpoint overlooking Duoyishu Village to enjoy the sunrise views overlooking the Rice Terraces. Afterwards, visit a nearby local market at Shengcun to discover ethnic minority villagers daily lives (the Hani and Yi ethnic minorities live here and it's a non-tourist market). Following the market visit, depart the Yuanyang Rice Terraces and travel to Jianshui - this takes approximately 3.5 x hours. Along the way, you'll stopover at the Tuanshan Village - an ancient Chinese village leftover from the Qing dynasty and featuring incredible architecture, cobbled lanes and a different experience. |
Upon arriving into Jianshui, we'll explore this Ancient town including some of it's highlights - the Confucius Temple and the Zhu's Family Garden. Incredibly, the Confucius temple in Jianshui is the second largest of its type across all of China!
Jianshui has a history of over 1200 years, retaining its traditional town architecture. Afterwards, travel to your Jianshui hotel where you will check-in to your hotel and enjoy the evening at leisure. Visitors can also explore the town during the evening and our guide will assist with restaurant recommendations/translation/assistance. |
Day 4 - Stay overnight in Kunming/END OF TOUR
Meet your tour guide in the morning at your Jianshui Hotel and further explore the Jianshui Ancient Town during the morning. We will also explore a tofu-making demonstration as this is a famous local cuisine within this region. Afterwards, depart from Jianshui towards Kunming. The total travel duration from Jianshui to Kunming is approximately 3.5 x hours so you would expect to arrive back into Kunming in the early afternoon. Visitors can be dropped off at any Kunming City Hotel or alternatively, if preferred, we can also drop you off at Kunming Airport or any of the railway stations to conclude the tour. END OF TOUR. |
