[quote=DIETER                  ,911]So try to answer a few questions.PEGGY / MarielleGoing to the north of yunnan in november/december might cause some problems. Roads in general are not in a good condition so e.g. travelling to zhongdian is nearly impossible - which is really a pity ! In general don't travel through north of yunnan on a too tight time schedule. It always might happen some landslides which block the road (happen to us a few times)TIGER LEAPING GORGE - of course it's worth to see allthough Steve is right: There are lots of other beautiful spots in yunnan... But one comment on Steve: You wrote sth like "where are no tourists" - sounds funny: Don't forget that YOU also are a tourist ....It takes about 2 days to do the whole gorge but it's also worth only to hike the first part of it. But take care: after rain it's getting very slippery !The question if it'S possible to get around on yr own or to hire a guide: A question everybody has to answer on his own. Of course it's possible to get around on yr own. Sure, if you don't speak any mandarin it takes a little bit longer than in other countries BUT you will be able to manage it.  The question is if you feel comfortable with that kind of travelling. Some spots you only can reach with a guide (or hire a taxi, which is common in china and still reasonable) because public transport in the remote areas of yunnan is a little bit poor.To book such trips is no problem at all. Almost every guesthouse or hotel will offer  those trips in the surrounding area (or will recommand a guide)To sum spots you will need a guide (at least driver),to some spots it will be quite convienient - to many places it's no problem to arrange it on yr ownIf you have any further specific questions regarding yunnan - don't hesitate to mail. A friend of us (my wife's chinese)runs a travel agency in yunnan. So if you need any kind of support in advance we can pass his adress.ENJOY YR TRIP TO YUNNAN[/quote]
