Escape to the Beauty of Yunnan Province

Delight in the natural wonders of camera-friendly Yunnan Province, from Dianchi Lake to rock forests to karst caverns.

About Your Trip

Pack your camera and prepare to capture unforgettable scenery and natural wonders of China’s Yunnan Province. On your full-day tours, discover 3 outstanding areas — a picturesque lake, ancient rock forests and impressive karst formations — each with their own unique geological beauty.

Journey to Xishan Forest Park and see the Dragon Gate that’s cut into the side of a mountain. Continue on to the large, freshwater Dianchi Lake and follow the reservoir path for great views of peaks, parks, villages and pagodas. Travel to Shilin National Scenic Area and see the world-renowned, labyrinthine rock structures at Stone Forest. Dating back 270 million years, these limestone formations of different shapes and sizes resemble trees and, at times, animals and even humans! Before the day is over, join in some fruit picking at an orchard, and then enjoy a delicious dinner featuring some of the traditional dishes of the Yi ethnic people. Reminisce with your fellow DreamTrippers during an evening campfire.

The next day, explore Jiuxiang Scenic Area from several perspectives — by water, land and air. Board a boat, a sightseeing elevator and a cable car for impressive sightseeing of the rivers, gorges and waterfalls that make up this spectacular landscape.

What we love:
• In his account of his 13th-century travels, Marco Polo praised the regions around Kunming for their variety and bounty of fresh fish.
• The famed Stone Forest comprises Greater Stone Forest, Lesser Stone Forest and Naigu Stone Forest, with the latter designated a part of South China Karst, a UNESCO World Heritage site.
• The Yi people are one of China's 55 ethnic minorities.
