Other Recommended Trips
 


Kunming is one of the most important cities in southwest China. From here you can conveniently access most of China’s world-famous cultural sites.  While travel to China’s great natural wonders and historical sites can be both fun and educational, what makes these out-of -Yunnan trips more pleasant is that you can easily keep up with your progress of Chinese study in Kunming.

Bordered with Tibet on the northwest, Yunnan is one of the most important gateways to “the Roof of the World”, where you can indulge yourself with mystical Tibetan cultures and marvelous landscapes.

To Yunnan’s north is Sichuan province, with which Yunnan has a great relationship.  Sichuan culture, with its own unique characteristics, is one of the most important components of Chinese culture.  Getting to know Sichuan will certainly help your Chinese learning and cultural understanding.  Like Yunnan, Sichuan is also one of the most popular tourism destinations. Visit its capital city, Chengdu, one of China’s famous historical and cultural sites 

To the west of Yunnan is the Guangxi region, where there is the largest concentration of the Zhuang ethnic people in China.  Guilin and Yangshuo are very famous sites for tourists; the former is renowned for its picturesque natural scenery; the latter is becoming the ideal for backpackers and outdoor enthusiasts.

Cities like Kunming, with a slower pace of life, are always perfect for your Chinese study experiences as you can take the time to really absorb those experiences.  However, if you miss life in large metropolitan areas, Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Hong Kong are just a few hours away.  Already known worldwide, there are many places to which you can travel and experience various cultures in these different cities.
