Just returned home from our first Yunnan trip. Kaylee at Wonders of Yunnan arranged everything for us and provided many useful tips. As a result, we had a great time in Yunnan and it certainly exceeded our expectation. Will definitely use the service of Wonders of Yunnan again when we visit the region next time. Well done!
