Day4

Take a morning flight back to Kunming and transfer to visit the Stone Forest at Lunan. Stay overnight at the local best hotel. From the moment you enter Lunan, your coming trip will be much tougher, for your will travel through the less developed area in China in the following days, including Yunnan area and Guizhou area. The local condition in these areas may be under your expectation. The food variety, washing room hygiene, hotel equipment as well as transportation are not as good as in large China cities, like Beijing, Xian or Shanghai. However, just due to the underdevelopment of the area, it keeps its simple manner and original folkway. We suggest you enjoy the exquisitely made costume of the minority people, their unique culture and the untouched landscape in a pleasure mind, ignoring the limited local condition
