"South of the Clouds"
is the literal meaning of Yunnan, and stretching
from the high Tibetan Plateau down to the subtropical climes bordering
Southeast Asia, it is an amazingly diverse place. Yunnan is the most biologically diverse area in the temperate world, and
contains a host of rare and endangered wildlife that will delight any
naturalist. Located at the crossroads of Tibet, China and
Southeast Asia, it is home to a mix of ethnic groups - from Naxi and Bai
to Pumi, Dai, Ake, and Hani. The temperature is mild and pleasant
throughout most of the year, but can get quite cold in the winter at
higher elevations. Southern Yunnan also experiences
a rainy season from May to September... |

Kunming Highlights |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
Kunming is the capital city of Yunnan Province, also known as Spring City for its lovely weather year
round, is a relaxed haven to get some rest, eat well and in case you are
active a good basis for exploring Yunnan. It's not a place of great
culture or old buildings. It's just a friendly city you'll enjoy. The best
place to see life in Kunming passing by is taking a seat in the Dianchi
Lake and watch the seagulls, praised as "the Pearl of the Plateau", the
lake is the sixth largest fresh water lake in China. The Bamboo Temple is
another place to go. The 500 arhat statues in the halls are the pride of
the temple. An hour outside of Kunming you'll find Stone Forest with it's
impressive Karst Peaks... |

A great way to explore China is to take a walk,
a hiking trip or
bike ride (cycling)
through China's famous
sites as well as some of the more off the beaten path destinations.
Eco-tours lets you explore China at your own pace,
while enriching both the mind and the body. Experience famous sites in a
dynamic way: travel around Lijiang's gorgeous countryside by bike, weaving
through the fields and villages or hiking through Southwest China's backcountry, or do a
trekking through
Tiger Leaping Gorge,
Eco-tours extend beyond the trail, however these adventures not only bring
you closer to the everyday life of the Chinese, they also immerse you in
the natural beauty of the Chinese landscape. |

The Great Nujiang Canyon(upper Salween) is a
"longitu-dinal" valley, lying parallel with the run of mountain ranges
that give rise to the natural wonder of the Three Parallel Rivers. This is
because the northeast edge of the Indian Plate collided with the Eurasian
Plate, creating a series of large north-south splits in what is today's
northwestern Yunnan and eastern Tibet. The Great Nujiang Canyon starts
from Cawarong at Zayul County in Tibet and stretches south for some 300
kilometers to reach Liuku, capital of Nuiiang Lisu Autonomous Prefecture
in Yunnan Province.
Flanked by the Biluo and Gaoligong snow mountains. this is
the most perilous section of the Nujiang River; it is over 2,000 meters
deep on average, the deepest point being between the 5,128-meter-high
Luchulaka Peak of the Gaoligong Mountain and the 4,784-meter-high Zhuzipo
Peak of the Biluo Snow Mountain |

Traveling deep into the mountain area of Guizhou, a
province tucked away in Southwest China, we will explore traditional
ethnic minority villages inhabited by Miao and Dong groups, and travel
further to meet the enigmatic Gejia people, who are unfamiliar to even the
(Han) Chinese. We will travel from one village to another, meeting
colorfully dressed ethnic minority people selling goods in the markets,
making tofu or cultivating rice in their fields. If we are lucky, we might
chance upon one of their vibrant festivals, which are held throughout the
lunar calendar. This trip offers a unique opportunity to spend time in one
of China's most isolated regions, appreciating ancient architectural
styles and local customs of the ethnic minorities, while at the same time
enjoying the unspoiled beauty of its mountains and valleys. |
