Yunnan

BREAKING: 240-Hour Visa-Free Transit Now Available for Yunnan (Kunming, Lijiang, Dali & More)! Please note that the Tiger Leaping Gorge Scenic Area is administratively part of Deqin Shangri-La. Therefore, this area does not qualify for the 240-hour visa-free transit policy. Discover Yunnan’s hidden gems with trusted local guides in 2026.

From the UNESCO-listed Lijiang Ancient Town to the spiritual heights of Shangri-La, every corner pulses with living traditions. Trek the Ancient Tea-Horse Road where Naxi muleteers once traded Pu’er tea, marvel at Yuanyang’s sculpted rice terraces at sunrise, wander through Dali’s Three Pagodas, explore the surreal stone forests of Shilin, or discover the ancient tea trees of Pu’er’s Jingmai Mountain. With 5-11 day itineraries covering classics and niche themes (think photography expeditions among Dai villages or Tibetan monastery meditation retreats), your trip bends to your rhythm.
