Sense Spring Vitality in Southwest China
5-Day Kunming, Luoping, and Wanfenglin Tour
Luoping — a place where you're spoiled for spring scenery — attracts people's eyes every February and March. The vast vistas of yellow flowers combine with the toothy or terraced landscape to form views of barely-imaginable beauty. We have the locals to thank for these heart-stirring scenes.
As you travel east from Kunming, you will be impressed by the limestone landforms (karst formations) that China abounds in. Enjoy the hills, terraces, and fields in Luoping. Marvel at the endless peak forest and peak clusters in Wanfenglin. But more than this, be touched by the peaceful rural life and hard-working local people that make the difficult-to-farm countryside burst into life with canola brilliance.
This 5-day Kunming, Luoping, and Wanfenglin tour is the best choice for your China spring outing. It is all about the spring, amazing landscapes, and rural life.
