Starting in Kunming, Kunming is a city with great weather all year round. The temperature is comfortable, not too cold, not too hot. Next, we went to Lijiang, an ancient city that lives on. From Kunming, we flew or took the train to Lijiang. This is an old city with ancient Chinese-style houses, small stone streets, and a crystal-clear river. There's also the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, which has an amazing view. Finally, we went to Shangri-La, where we could experience nature and Tibetan culture.
