Yunnan is located in the southwest of China and borders many borders. It is the place with the richest customs and cultures of ethnic minorities. It has a long history and culture, and its natural scenery is more colorful and gorgeous. It is a world-famous tourist attraction. Yunnan, which has the reputation of "South of Colorful Clouds", has a pleasant climate and extremely rich tourism resources. Tourists who advocate freedom go there. There are too many famous scenic spots, such as Kunming, Dali, Lijiang, Shangri-La, Honghe Prefecture, Xishuangbanna and so on. However, these popular attractions are often congested during the summer and holiday peak seasons, so they are not the most suitable for peak travel.
