Re: Chengdu (Emei Shan) and Yunnan Province

by foolishmortal 24 May 2012

With that sort of schedule you may want to consider flying; it's only about 500 kuai from Chengdu to Lijiang.
RE: Chengdu (Emei Shan) and Yunnan Province

by drumbrake 24 May 2012

Re: Yunnan: 4 day trip. Help with itinerary please!

by nomadchina 23 May 2012

I thought the OP wanted to do only Dali and Shangri-la (not Kunming and Lijiang). Take night buses and you'll have 2 days in each. …

RE: China itinerary

by jiejie 17 May 2012

I like your plan in post #10 much better. Additional thoughts: 1) If you need to cut a day, I think Xi'an has one day more than you really…
RE: China itinerary

by Chinatraveling 16 May 2012

Negative. Don't take out Jiuzhaigou. Save time by flying directly (cheap) from Chengdu to Lijiang. I'm asking that you take a serious…
RE: Advice on 1 month China itinerary
