We always pictured Yunnan as China's ultimate hidden paradise. But what does it really feel like in the winter time there?
In this vlog, we share the beautiful time that we had around Yunnan- from the most magical Erhai lake, and many historical ancient towns in Dali to the hiking along the roaring river in Tiger Leaping Gorge and lastly to the fairytale-like Lijiang!

Do you think this is the most underrated destination especially during the winter time? Let us know in the comments what you think!

Hi guys, great video, lots of good details and well put together, definitely putting this area on our to-do list for China's less touristy areas. My only feedback would be to take it easy with the music backing track because it is clashing with your voice over and makes it hard to understand / overpowering at times.

Hello guys, I am absolutely floored by the quality of the video you put out, hard to believe your channel is so small, honestly, very, very well donw. I am actually planning a trip to Yunnan this summer with my family, we have two preteen kids (10 & 12), would you say the Tiger Leaping Gorge is difficult or very difficult? Some parts certainly look challenging, we're mostly fit but not super sporty. Also how did you find the hotels you stayed at? They look absolutely amazing, lastly, what was the toilet situation on your trip? Did you have to use squat toilets? We've never used them & they kind of freak me out haha, and last qustion, how did you go about finding your private driver & how much is it roughly? anyways thanks gain for sharing, I'm really hoping to see more videos from you :)
