Hi Leong,
Yes, it is highly suggested that take a day trip to the Redland in Dongchuan. Though March is not the best time there, you can see different view in different season. March is not the sowing, but you can see the wide land under the clear sky.
Please advise your exact tour time, the numbers in your group, then we will give the exact price for you.
Regards,
Coco
It is good time to travel to Expo garden in early April. The weather in Kunming is warm all the year round. we don''t have tourist to visit the garden now, many people go to Kunming just for Stone Forest or Golden Temple.
No direct bus or train from Kunming to Jiuxiang, need connect at Yiliang city. Kunming Xin Dongbu Bus Station to Yiliang, available every 30 minues, price is around CNY15.00 per person, then connect the local bus #21 to Jiuxiang, available every 30 minutes, price is CNY6-10 per person. If it is just one day tour to and return from Kunming, we would suggest join in a local group tour or hire a taxi to (CNY500-600 for one day).

Dear Aj,
Based on the former data, it is about 12-20°C, you'd better take a thick coat. Here is an useful website to check the new information. Click here: http://www.weather.com.cn/en/weather/101290101.shtml
Hi Monica and Roberto,
I have sent a email to you. You can find the quatation with the Yuanyang Terrace field and Kunming tour. It is about 7 days. Of course, you can decide the duration of this tour. I can tailor-make it for you. If you have any queries, feel free to contact me.
Hi Andre,
November is one of the best months to go to Dongchuan, in this area only home inns are available. Mr. Zhang is the boss of the most famous home inn, he could be reached on 0871－6901339 though I don't think he could speak English.
You can take a bus from Kunming to Dongchuan in about 2.5 hours, take another bus to Xinchuan in about 1.5 hours and contact Mr. Zhang to arrange another vehicle to Red Lands. If you want to make it easier, we offer private vehicle and guide service too. Feel free to let me know your group size and I will quote on the transfer for you without delay.
Thank you Candy for your reply.
We will contact you once we are in Kunming
Hi Candy,
The plan is now finished and we would like to go to The Red Lands on Friday 25 November early morning and returning the next day in the evening. 2 Persons only.
Would it be better to rent a car with driver for 2 days or go by bus and hope we will arrive in the right place ?
We think the tours we read about on the Internet are VERY expensive . Any suggestions ?
Thank you and best regards
