[quote=ELLYSE,255792]Will be going with a friend or two to Yunnan province in the 2nd half of January. All of us are native Mandarin speakers and fairly well-travelled in mainland China.

They will be on their 1st visit there. I will be on my 2nd. Previously I've already seen Kunming (including Stone Forest), Dali, Lijiang, Tiger Leaping Gorge, Zhongdian and the Meilixueshan sunrise at Feilai Si.

We're interested in covering the "usual tourist sights" at each place. Not into trekking and hiking. We travel and sightsee relatively quickly, on a somewhat mid-range budget -- about 400 RMB/day per person. We should be flying round-trip Shanghai -- Kunming.

How much time should we allow for each of the following destinations?
- Xishuangbanna --> What are the main spots to see, if I'm estimating a max of 3 days?
- Lugu Lake
- Lijiang --> No need to hike Tiger Leaping Gorge.
- Kunming --> Want to see the Black Stone Forest, but not the Stone Forest.
- Tengchong
- round-trip from Zhongdian to Feilai Si --> I estimate 2 days.
- Zhongdian --> No priority to see all the Tibetan culture here, we've been to other Tibetan regions before.
- Chuxiong --> Want to see Yuanmou Earth Forest.

Also, if anyone has accommodation recommendations -- roughly 120-200 RMB/night for twin/triple with ensuite -- I'd be grateful to hear them.

Thanks in advance![/quote]
