Vietnam to Yunnan Explorer

Hanoi to Kunming – 18 Days

Expedition Overview

Travel across two remarkable regions on this immersive journey from Vietnam to China’s Yunnan Province. Begin in Hanoi, where the charm of the Old Quarter and the serenity of Halong Bay set the tone for a rich cultural experience. Continue north to Sapa’s mountain villages, where terraced fields and ethnic communities offer a window into traditional life. Cross the border into China to explore the dramatic rice terraces of Yuanyang and the historical town of Jianshui, where ancient architecture and local markets reveal centuries-old customs.

In Yunnan, connected by modern high speed rail networks, visit the surreal Stone Forest before flying to Lijiang, one of the region's historic towns and a vibrant cultural hub where canals wind past centuries-old houses. Ride a cable car to Jade Dragon Snow Mountain and unwind in the peaceful heritage towns of Shaxi and Dali, both celebrated as historic towns steeped in Bai and Naxi culture. Shaxi, once a key stop on the ancient trading route known as the Tea Horse Road, preserves its unique historical significance. Arrive in Kunming, aka the City of Eternal Spring, a gateway to Yunnan’s diverse landscapes and cultures. With its blend of natural beauty and living traditions, the Vietnam to Yunnan Explorer is a slow-paced, deeply enriching cultural route across two fascinating lands.
