From Kunming: 7-Day Yunnan cultural private Tour

Discover Yunnan's culture and landscapes on a 7-day cultural tour from Kunming. Explore the Stone Forest, learn ancient crafts, and visit Shaxi, a hidden gem on the Ancient Tea-Horse Road.
Begin your adventure in Kunming, the “Spring City,” where you‘ll explore the otherworldly Stone Forest, a UNESCO World Heritage Site of limestone pillars shaped over 270 million years. Wander through Guandu Ancient Town, a historic riverside settlement, before rolling up your sleeves for your first hands-on experience: making Tang Guozi, delicate pastries that trace back over 1,400 years to the Tang Dynasty. This is not a performance — it’s a real workshop where you create edible art with your own hands.

Travel to Dali, a city of ancient kingdoms and breathtaking lake views. Visit Shuanglang Ancient Town on the shores of Erhai Lake, enjoy a dress-up photo session at the cliffside Dali Santorini, and explore the well-preserved Dali Ancient Town with its vibrant Foreigner Street. In the charming Bai village of Xizhou, you‘ll learn the ancient art of tie-dye, using plant-based techniques passed down through generations, and taste the famous Xizhou Baba flatbread.

Then venture off the beaten path to Shaxi, a hidden gem on the Ancient Tea-Horse Road with over 2,400 years of history. Listed as a World Monuments Watch site in 2002, Shaxi offers an authentic, untouched glimpse into Yunnan’s past. Stroll through its historic square, visit the Ming Dynasty Xingjiao Temple, and enjoy the peaceful evening atmosphere of this living heritage town.

Arriving in Lijiang, a UNESCO World Heritage city, you‘ll learn Dongba script, one of the world’s last pictographic writing systems, from a local heritage bearer. Explore the enchanting Old Town with its canals, stone bridges, and traditional Naxi houses, then savor a Black Truffle Banquet — a gourmet highlight. Nature awaits as you ascend Jade Dragon Snow Mountain via cable car, walk among ancient glaciers, and visit the turquoise Blue Moon Valley. A high-speed train returns you to Kunming, where Asia‘s largest flower market offers a final burst of color before departure.

Throughout the journey, you’re accompanied by a bilingual driver-guide who serves as your travel butler, with drone photography available for groups in larger vehicles. All meals, 4-star hotels, boutique guesthouses, and entrance fees are included.
