Choose a route, then decide how long to stay

Use these routes as starting points for a discussion with your adviser. Duration, transport and availability depend on your travel requirements.

Dali and Lijiang: fewer hotel changes

For old-town walks, activities around Erhai Lake and free time, discuss how to divide your stay between Dali and Lijiang before deciding whether to include Kunming.

Adding Shangri-La: discuss your group’s needs first

Before extending to Shangri-La, discuss walking, hotel changes and mountain activities, then plan stays and rest. Adding sights does not require changing cities every day.

Xishuangbanna or Yuanyang: compare a separate route

If Xishuangbanna or Yuanyang is your priority, raise it as another route option. Neither is included in the current 10-day reference itinerary.

Choose when to go for the scenery you want

Choose places and activities before comparing departure months. Dali, Lijiang and Shangri-La do not share one universal best season. Mountain activities also require checks on weather, park openings and transport. Flowers, snow scenery and birdwatching are not guaranteed.

Your travel party and pace

When traveling with parents or children, discuss walking limits, rest needs and room arrangements before choosing activities.
Request each day’s starting point, overnight location, transport mode and estimated travel time alongside the sightseeing list.
Confirm pickup and departure cities separately from flights. Arriving in Kunming does not require departing from Kunming.

What should you compare in a private tour quote?

A private vehicle booking and a private tour may include different services. Compare written quotes for the same dates, party size and services. The actual price is subject to the written quote confirmed by both parties.

Party size and dates: the number of adults and children, departure date, and whether the quote applies to your trip.
Accommodation and rooms: each night's hotel, occupancy, breakfast, arrangements for children and any single-room supplement.
Vehicle and staff: vehicle type, luggage space, pickup and drop-off coverage, and the separate services of the driver, guide or tour leader.
Cost coverage: confirm admission tickets, transport within attractions, meals, insurance and optional activities individually.
Payment and changes: quote currency, payment methods, possible charges, and cancellation and rescheduling terms.

Before you start planning

Can I enquire before choosing travel dates?

Yes. Share an approximate month, party size and regions of interest. The itinerary, availability and price need to be checked once your dates and requirements are confirmed.

Can the published itinerary be adjusted?

The published itinerary is a route reference. Tell your adviser where you want to go, your preferred driving limits and rest needs, then confirm transport, accommodation, services and a written quote for the revised plan.

What should travellers from Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan or overseas confirm?

Check requirements for the travel documents you hold, your dates and route. Confirm transfer cities, accommodation, payment currency and contact details. Document requirements cannot be determined by residence or language alone.
