Question

Hello,I'm planning on traveling to Yunnan on November and would like to visit Kunming, Lijiang, and Dali. I heard it takes about 10 days to visit these three places. I plan to stay in Yunnan for another 20 days before heading through Northeastern Thailand. I'm wondering if you can suggest some other interesting sites and places to visit in Yunnan since i'm not familiar with the area. I'm very interested seeing ethnic minorities and observing their way of life, especially visiting the matriarchal tribes. I'm also interested in scenic areas. Thanks so much for your suggestions!

You can get further to Shangri-La and Lugu Lake from Lijiang. These are the northern part of Yunnan. You can get back to Kunming and travel to Tengchong and Ruilin in Dehong, southwest of Yunan, and Jinghong in Xishuangbanna in southern Yunan. They are close to the border with Burma. You can get around the border makets, or cross the border if visa is not a problem.
