China Trip 2014: 8D7N Kunming, Dong Chuan & Li Jiang
Came back from my china trip early of the month and it’s time to update a little about that. This is such a beautiful trip with very scenic places and it almost killed my memory card. Super love this place but then not some of the cultures in China (you sure know).
Okay, here is our self-planned itinerary (through a China friend) to Kunming, Dong Chuan and Li Jiang.

Dong chuan hong tu di 东川红土地 or so called red earth.
I called it rainbow colour land. Come here in September/ October for full bloom rainbow colour land.
So sunny, so windy.
Catching the beautiful sunrise above all the mountains.
Jade Dragon Snow Mountain 玉龙雪山. Challenge yourself and climb up to the 4600++ meters above the sea level.
Li Jiang Ancient Town.
Wake up early in the morning for the less-crowd-shots. Guess what time is now???
Touring around the Pedestrian Street 洋人街 in Da Li 大理。
Don’t forget to slurp up the bowl of Crossing-the-bridge noodles 过桥米线.
Hi Ivy,
Can you send me the details itinerary on your Kunming trip?
Is that any issue to do a self-plan trip to China all by ourselves if we do not have any local China friend there?
Thank you.
hi Mandy,
I have shared my itinerary in my blog. as per on this post. 🙂
you may try for self planned trip but honestly, it may be a little troublesome to do self plan but you can always ask helps from our local travel agency to book and arrange the accommodation and car for you. from my kunming-lijiang experience, we got some troubles in lijiang. and entering to lijiang, one has to purchase some sort of protection ticket/visa.
