In Search Of Exotic China

Asia specialist Bamboo Travel has launched two new exotic China tours in the south west province of Yunnan.

“The Burma Road & Tropics of Yunnan” tour will explore the historic town of Tengchong in the western corner of Yunnan province.  Located on the old Southwestern Silk Route, this area is known for volcanoes, hot springs and volcanic lakes.

The tour will feature a visit to the Gaoligong Mountains Nature Reserve, a UNESCO World Heritage Site recognized for its biodiversity.

The “Yunnan’s Passage to Shangri-la”tour will travel overland from Yunnan’s capital Kunming to the fabled land of Shangri-La then to Deqin.  In the corner of China bordering Eastern Tibet, travelers will see Buddhist holy mountain Kawa Karpo, one of the most sacred mountains in the Himalayas.
