Choose a manageable sequence of towns and landscapes. Make room for local interests and the time between bases rather than trying to include every place.

Plan the practical details

Who this suits: For travellers who want town life, cultural interests and landscapes at their own pace. Choose the region and the kind of day before fixing the route.
How much time to allow: Consider a week for a few bases as an editorial starting point. Compare two bases with three after allowing for arrival, departure and local transfers.
What to combine: Compare Kunming, Dali and Lijiang as possible bases. Add or remove a place according to the experiences and full days you want, rather than a fixed checklist.
Where to stay: Compare staying within a town area with a quieter location. Ask about luggage access, the room and the daily transport from the proposed hotel.
Getting here: Agree the exact airport, station or pickup point for every leg. Check the journey from the transport hub to the hotel instead of counting only the main connection.
