jokul, meadows, lakes and onrushing rivers.

The Dreamland of Shangri-la Tour is
an in-depth exploration of stunning Yunnan
Province and the ideal addition for those
wanting to immerse themselves in the local
culture and surroundings. Yunnan is a step back
in time with medieval villages of stone houses,
arched bridges and classic Chinese temples and
pavilions set among snow capped mountains and
terraced rice fields. Yunnan is one of China's
most ethnically diverse regions and we explore
the fascinating Naxi, Bai and Tibetan cultures
and sample the excellent local
cuisine.
The name of Yunnan, a mountainous
province in Southwest China, sounds familiar to
many tourists. With beautiful natural scenery,
colorful folk customs and famous historic and
cultural cities, it attracts tourists from home
and abroad.
From the modern capital city
of Yunnan-Kunming that is famous for the mild
climate all year round, the trip takes you to
China's noted historical and cultural city-Dali,
and the World Heritage-the Old Lijiang Town, and
the deepest gorge in the world-Tiger Leaping
Gorge, and old and unsophisticated villages as
well. This trip is famous for its magnificent
mountains and rivers, ancient towns, simple and
traditional custom of the ethnic Bai and Naxi
minorities. It is believed that this trip will
be an unforgettable experience in your
life.
Archaeological findings from the
region suggest that Yunnan is one of the
original birthplaces of the ancient Chinese
civilization, and can even be considered one of
the oldest birthplaces for mankind itself in
Asia and the world. The Yuanyang terraced
fields, for example, have an extremely long
history that scholars believe dates back more
than 1,300 years. The Yuanyang terraced fields,
gracing the slopes of mountain after mountain,
are truly awe-inspiring to behold. Thousands of
tiered stages, which collectively form the
terraced fields, stretch from the various
villages situated at the tops of the mountains
down to the depths of the dark valleys. Through
their wonderful patterns, embraced by flowing
clouds and mysterious fog, the terraced fields
magically integrate mountains, villages, water,
and sky into a fluid mural of natural and
primordial beauty.
Yunnan ranks first in
China in terms of the variety of its ethnic
groups, with 26 nationalities living in compact
communities throughout the region. Among the
ethnic groups, the colorful customs of the Yi
people at the Stone Forest, Hani people in
Yuanyang, Bai people in Dali, Naxi people in
Lijiang and Tibetans in Zhongdin are
particularly notable. They have each produced
rich and unique cultures that are perfectly and
harmoniously fused with the wonderful natural
landscapes of Yunnan. Together they compose an
image of 'Everlasting Shangri-La' that attracts
numerous tourists from all over the
world.
