Yunnan Tour

Yunnan takes pride in its richly-endowed natural resources and its advantageous cultural resources, the most attractive of which is the folklore and culture of the 25 minority people. It's rare to see so many minority peoples living harmoniously in one province. Majestic and colorful are the most frequently used words to describe people's life in Yunnan.

Patricia & Marcela Campillay in Shangri-La, Yunnan

The hotel is made of different houses jointed together by long corridors, so we had to walk a lot to our room, and we didn't like that at the beginning, but we then saw that we were near another entrance of the hotel that leaded right to the Ancient Town, so we went out that evening. The city looked awesome, with lots of people, stores and the lights. It was good to have that time at evening to walk around the small and narrow streets of Ancient Town of Lijiang , although we couldn't find that entrance to come back!
