A UNIQUE CULTURE

The old towns of Lijiang and Dali are popular spots along the Yunnan tourist trail, and both spots offer enchanting glimpses of how the various minority tribes pursue their traditional way of life, says Daphne. Her favourite attraction in Yunnan is Erhai Lake, one of the biggest freshwater lakes in China. “It has crystalclear water, and there are plenty of good hotels that face the lake. There’s a bit of a Mediterranean feel; you feel awed by the beauty of the lake.”
