Yunnan is China's most varied province: it touches Tibet, Myanmar, Laos and Vietnam, and its terrain falls from 6,000-meter glacier peaks to tropical river valleys. No single "Yunnan itinerary" exists — the real skill is choosing which Yunnan matches your dates, then connecting it through Kunming. This handbook is the selector. Each region then has its own depth guide.
