Colorful ethnic customs and magnificent natural wonders

Southwest China covers Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, and Chongqing, making it the most beautiful fold on Earth. The ancient city of the Old Town of Lijiang in Yunnan is close to the mountain and beside the water, the Huangguoshu Waterfall in Guizhou sounds like a canyon, the Jiuzhaigou Valley Scenic and Historic Interest Area green water and colorful forests in Sichuan are picturesque, and the Hongya Cave in Chongqing is ablaze with lights. Here, there is both the magnificence of the Hengduan Mountains and the softness of the Yuanyang Terraced Fields.
From the tropical rainforest in Xishuangbanna to the Buddhist wonderland in Mount Emei, from the stilted building in Miao Village to the millennium water conservancy in Dujiangyan Irrigation Project, there are natural and human ingenuity flowing everywhere. The warmth of the Yi Torch Festival, the brilliance of Miao silver jewelry, and the exuberance of Tibetan Guozhuang dance add to the humanistic charm.
Our journey allows us to either hike the Tiger Leaping Gorge to experience the rushing of the Jinsha River, or take a boat ride to explore the Wujiang Gallery; You can taste the spiciness and freshness of Chongqing hotpot, as well as experience the richness and sweetness of Yunnan Pu'er tea. Every departure is a deep interpretation of "Colorful Yunnan, Colorful Guizhou, Land of Abundance, and Mountain City Chongqing".

In southwestern China, the four regions of Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, and Chongqing are like four brilliant pearls. Yunnan, with the posture of a "world garden," integrates snow covered plateaus, tropical rainforests, and 25 ethnic customs; Guizhou, under the name of "Bridge Museum", weaves karst wonders, thousands of waterfalls, and diverse ethnic cultures into a cool and secret realm; Sichuan, with its rich heritage as the "Land of Abundance," combines the fairyland of Jiuzhai, the Buddhist light of Emei, the ecology of giant pandas, and the ancient Shu civilization; Chongqing is known as the "8D Magic City", where the grandeur of the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River, the fantasy of the Wulong Karst, and the fireworks of the Ba Yu culture collide, together building the most poetic geographical poetry and cultural corridor in Southwest China.
