TOUR OVERVIEW

A route that works on the ground

Over 6 days, 6-Day Puzhehei & Jianshui Discovery links Kunming to Puzhehei with Return to Kunming, taking in Puzhehei Lake, Qinglong Mountain Panorama, Yi and Zhuang Village Culture, Continue to Jianshui along the way. Take the train or private transfer to Puzhehei and settle into a lakeside or village guesthouse. Puzhehei lies around 1,450 metres among limestone peaks and linked lakes; a 2–5 kilometre village walk pairs naturally with a hand-poled boat or short canoe section when the water is calm. Private station transfer and high-speed rail or road journey back to Kunming. Try crossing-the-bridge rice noodles or a flower cake near the market, then read the Yi legends behind the limestone formations with a local guide.

Wind and water conditions influence boat and shoreline plans, so the guide confirms the safest useful sequence each day.

Where does this tour start and finish?

The planned route starts around Puzhehei and finishes around Kunming. Exact airport, railway-station or hotel transfers are matched to your confirmed arrival and onward tickets.
