[quote=JABAROOTOO,259020]If you are in going to Longshen then head on into southern Guizhou from Sanjiang to Congjiang up the Kaili area and check out some of the Miao and Dong areas.  the people, villages and local customs are well worth stopping by for a day or two to see before heading to Kunming.  Even consider some short  haul bus trips during the day so you see some of the country side.  Buses between larger towns and cities are very comfortable for around 4/6 hour trips and you'll see more than you would taking  the overnight trains everywhere.  You can stay in southern Guizhou and take the train to Kunming from  Anshun or Xingyi.

Plenty of reviews on Guangxi, Guizhou and Yunnan so read them all and get yourself the LP if you've not got one yet.  Southwest China is the one you'll need covering the southern provinces more thoroughly than the China issue.

It will be cold and most likely a bit wet and foggy but that just adds to the magic of the mountains and if you do get all clear weather, then it's a wonderful bonus.  Enjoy yourselves.
