Online Reservation Embark
on an overland adventure, from a
remote and little visited region in
Yunnan to the spectacular mountains of
Northwest Vietnam.
The
south-east corner of Yunnan has some
of the region's most traditional and
off-the beaten track minority areas.
For anyone who wants to avoid the
hordes of travelers in Dali or Lijiang,
the traditional architecture of
Jianshui and the superb terraces of
Yuanyang are well worth the effort of
getting there. Across the border in
Vietnam, the area around Sapa boasts
the spectacular scenery of the Hoang
Lien Mountain Range and is home to
diverse hill tribe communities. Trek
to isolated villages, spend time with
the local ethnic people and experience
their traditional lifestyles.

Ailao Mountains, which contain some
of the most stupendous rice terraces
