Discover the Tropical Soul of Yunnan
Tucked away in China’s lush southern frontier near Laos and Myanmar, Xishuangbanna is a place like no other. Often called China’s “tropical oxygen bar,” it’s where winter and summer blend into one long, warm season—making it a year-round escape for those craving vibrant nature, rich culture, and a breath of fresh jungle air.
On this journey, you’ll explore Jinghong, the region’s laid-back capital full of palm-lined streets, botanical gardens, and colourful ethnic markets. Then continue to Pu’er, the birthplace of China’s most iconic dark tea. Far from the crowds, this hidden gem offers a rare blend of scenic mountain landscapes, ancient tea traditions, and a slower pace of life that invites you to unwind and reconnect.
From tropical forests to rolling tea hills, this tour is perfect for those looking to experience a side of China that few travellers get to see.
