Introduction
Starting in Kunming we set off on an adventure which offers busy markets, history and culture along with an exciting trek though one of the deepest gorges in the world. From Kunming we take a full day to look round the astonishing lime pillars and pinnacles of the Stone Forest. Then its on to Dali and an optional boat trip on the Erhai Lake and visit to the Ancient City. We head down to the depths of the Tiger Leaping Gorge, 16 km long and 3,900m deep. We take a memorable trek through stunning scenery to Daju, with beautiful views of the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, and then we rest our feet with free time in Lijiang. From Lijiang we fly via Kunming to Guilin, and then explore the colourful city of Longsheng and the nearby Dragons Backbone Rice Terraces. The lively night markets are also well worth a visit. We head to Yangshou, set amongst stunning limestone peaks, the perfect opportunity to relax and shop for a few souvenirs and also enjoy a cruise on the Li River. A comfortable overnight train will then take us to Guangzhou, commonly known as Canton and one of China's most prosperous cities, our last stop on the mainland before we end our tour in the famous metropolis of Hong Kong.
