[quote=APAULT,378659]You are considering travelling in mid winter.  Temperatures will fall to freezing or below in most of those places. Maost buildings have NO heating in winter as all these places are south of the Yangtze... north of which heating is required.   You would be well advised to come in late spring.

I am writing from Lijiang where the temperature rose to 21C today with clear blue skies.  Nights are down to about 12C. On a cloudy day it will be cooler.  And it is only mid October   There will be few other tourists around and you would be able to get true bargain basement accommodation, but I think the Dali Old Town will be absolutely dead.... I have been told there is no winter season here.

When you do come, I recommend Dali and Lijiang, but there is little reason to stay in Kunming.  I also think you will find Yangshuo town disappointing after Lijiang, but of course there is great scenery in that area, but if you take the bus/boat trip from Guilin to Yangshou, you usually get a couple of hours in Yangshuo before catching the bus back to Guilin.  I have no knowledge of Xishuangbanna.  HK should probably be included as it is quite different from the mainland.[/quote]
