Day 1: Kunming (no meals)
Today you will be landing in Kunming, the captial City of China’s southwest Yunnan province. As one of China’s most diversified provinces, Yunnan is certainly one of China’s most alluring destinations. Yunnan is home to more than one third of China’s ethnic minorities and over half of the country’s plant and animal species. The province is blessed by its mixture of traditional folk cultures as well as breath-taking scenery. Kunming, Yunnan’s capital, resides at an elevation of 1890m and boasts a milder climate than most other Chinese cities. Celebrated as the "Spring City," Kunming has neither severe winters nor extremely hot summers and can be visited at any time of the year. You will be greeted by the local guide and the private bus will transfer you to your hotel. After a short break in the hotel, you will visit two major sites: Yuantong Temple and Yunnan provincial Museum.

Day 2: Kunming - Shilin - Jianshui (B)
After breakfast you will be visiting the famous Forest of Stone (1.5 hrs drive) which lies about 80 kms to the southeast of Kunming. A geological phenomenon, the Stone Forest was a vast expanse of sea during the Paleozoic era--some 270 million years ago. Later, the movement of tectonic plates altered the earth's crust, causing the sea to recede and its limestone bottom to appear, thereby forming land. Due to the constant seeping of rain through the cracks in the limestone, some of the stone formation dissolved and the fissures broadened, producing a group of great sculptures of different shapes, all molded by nature. Visiting to this site needs at least 3 hours. Finally in the afternoon, you will be driven to Jianshui (3 hours) which lies in the south of Yunnan province,on the north bank of Hong He River. It is a national cultural town of more than 1200- year-old history. Since the Tang Dyansty (7th century AD), Jianshui has been the political, economic, cultural and military center of Southern Yunnan.
