Cycle China - Yunnan

Tiger Leaping Gorge – Yangzi River – Naxi, Bai, Yi and Lisu minorities – Tibetan Plateau – hot springs - snow-capped mountains – ancient Tea Horse Caravan route – village markets – lake and river crossings

Yunnan is one of China’s most ethnically fascinating and scenically stunning provinces. It is easy to understand why Yunnan leaves our travellers raving about it! Experiencing the extraordinary natural wonder of TLG, with its towering walls and dramatic beauty.  Meander along the majestic Yangtze River and kick back in the laid-back cobble stoned towns of Dali and Lijiang. This area is the foothills of the Himalayas where snow-capped peaks, dramatic ravines and pine forest meet rural villages and rice fields. A balance of steep climbs, dizzying descents and smooth flat roads makes this trip one of our favourites.
