This is a highly recommended tour from south central China. It covers the amazing red soil slopes to the north of Kunming. It is an easy 3-hour drive to the area. Expect to see the red soils of the area with the what the farmers provide with crops. Green in the early season, reds and browns as they grow and are harvested. Peak is early spring and late summer, but high summer can be good too. Guides and driver are part of the package. Guide really knew the area. Expect sunset and sunrise locations - and hope for the right conditions from nature. A great way to spend two days.

If you answered yes to this question, then this tour is for you. I was met by my host at my hotel and shown around the many delicious parts of Kunming. There was a lot of spicy and hot street food to enjoy. My host was knowledgeable about Kunming and very proud of their city. It was a great half-day spent enjoying this vibrant and noisy city. The weather is always good in Kunming too.
