When it comes to Asia Pacific, New Zealand and Australia are the first to come to mind when thinking of great natural scenic places to visit. But for a more budget-friendly option, why not consider the equally gorgeous Yunnan province in China?
With mystical-sounding names like Jade Snow Dragon Mountain and Tiger Leaping Gorge, one can imagine travelling through an oriental journey into the vast and wild unknown. Together with the charm of old towns nearby that have been beautifully preserved, get ready to slow down your pace and breathe in the fresh air within these lush, pristine spaces.
As the province is on a high elevation, you do not have to worry about getting hot and uncomfortable while hiking along scenic trails. Its largest city, Kunming, is nicknamed ‘City of the Eternal Spring’ because it’s blessed with a rich verdue of trees and plants.
So before hordes of tourists from within the country and beyond flock to it, now’s the time to discover and visit this gem of a province, stat!
