Yunnan Nationalities Village is a tourist attraction that concentrates the essence of diverse ethnic cultures in Yunnan. It brings together the architectural styles, living customs, songs, dances, arts and festivals of more than 20 ethnic groups in Yunnan Province.

Day 1: Kunming

Day 2: Kunming

  • Stone Forest--Cuihu Lake--Kunming Old Street

  • 4+stars Hotel

  • Breakfast


In the morning, we will come to the Stone Forest,  which is regarded as “the essence of the world's karst landscape” and  listed as a World Natural Heritage by UNESCO. Taking a sightseeing bus,  we will go deep into the Boulder Forest Scenic Area, as if entering a  labyrinth of giant boulders. Along the way, you'll see towering  concentrations of rocky peaks and unique panoramas of rocky forests.

Next, we will continue by bus to the Little Stone Forest. Here you will have a chance to see the iconic stone “Asima”, a realistic boulder that resembles a graceful young lady.

While  you are visiting the Stone Forest, you can also experience the unique  charm of Yi ethnic minority culture, enjoy the traditional songs and  dances of the Yi people, and taste the authentic Yi cuisine.

Next, you can take a leisurely walk to the nearby Kunming Cuihu Park.  From November to March, black-headed gulls from Siberia migrate here,  where they spend the warm winter months and become a unique sight in the  park.

Then we went to Kunming Old Street, where many old buildings and streets are preserved. If in Chengdu there is Wide and Narrow Alley and in Shanghai there is Xintiandi, then in Kunming there is Kunming Old Street. You can taste authentic Yunnan cuisine and buy specialty handicrafts here.

Special thanks to my guide, Sofia. It's really hard for me to find a Spanish tour guide. She is professional and I have a good understanding about the China culture under her guide. During the Xi'an trip, I was shocked by the strong atmosphere of culture. I hope I can go next time, really love it.

Independent travel by train in China…
Independent travel by train in China can be daunting ordeal. We decided to use Intoexplore for booking the trip and are very happy we did. It almost felt like Norman was a family member guiding us through how to use Alipay for payments in China to where to find the ticket office in the train station to convert digital tickets to paper. He was always available (sometimes at 6 am!) to answer any question and solve any problems that arose .. I would strongly recommend him to anyone who is thinking about independent travel to China .
