Please select a travel date
Yunnan is located on the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, with a large daily temperature difference (12-15 degrees Celsius). Please check the local weather conditions before your trip, pay attention to your attire, check the local weather forecast, bring enough warm clothing, as Yunnan has strong sunshine and ultraviolet rays. For prolonged outdoor activities, please wear a sun hat, sunglasses, and apply sunscreen to protect your skin. The weather changes frequently, so please bring rain gear. Yunnan has high mountains and steep slopes, with strict speed limits. The itinerary areas are at high altitudes with low oxygen content, so the tourist bus speed may sometimes be only 20-30 yards when going uphill. We ask for your understanding. Yunnan is a minority ethnic region, so please respect the religious and living customs of the local ethnic minorities. The economic development in Yunnan is relatively backward. Hotels of the same star rating have facilities and scale that lag behind those in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions. Some newly built hotels with better facilities are generally located on the outskirts of the city, about 15-20 minutes' drive from the city center (unless there are special circumstances). Due to the unique climate of Yunnan, hotel air conditioning is only turned on for a limited time or not at all during winter. If you need extra quilts, electric blankets, etc., please ask the hotel staff. Lijiang is at a high altitude, so please pay attention to rest to prevent altitude sickness. People with heart disease, high blood pressure, and other conditions should be cautious. Please prepare some commonly used personal medicines for emergencies. Yunnan is a multi-ethnic province, with a local cuisine that is mainly sour and spicy, and many cold dishes. Group meals for tourists are generally served at tables of 10 people. Yunnan's diet is quite different from other provinces and may not suit your taste, so please be mentally prepared. The local soil and water are slightly acidic, so it is recommended to drink more tea. When traveling, visitors must carry valid identification documents. People under 16 years old need to carry their original household registration book or valid household registration certificate, and infants need to carry their birth certificate. When purchasing tourist souvenirs and local specialties, please be careful not to casually touch the displayed samples to prevent accidental damage. Merchants in the ancient city sometimes sell fake goods, so please be careful when making purchases. Travel essentials: raincoat or umbrella, sports shoes, cold medicine, stomach medicine, insect repellent ointment, sunscreen, sun hat, sunglasses, etc. (Lijiang has a large temperature difference between morning and evening, so please bring slightly thicker clothes, such as sweaters, long-sleeved shirts, light and warm jackets, and wear travel shoes.)
