Yunnan self-driving tour strategy in May 2019 (1)
Yunnan's regular tourist route "Kundali", Yuanyang to see the scenery of terraced fields, and Luoping Land to see the sea of rapeseed flowers have been here many times before, either with group tours or chartered cars. However, Yunnan is a large tourist province with rich tourism resources. Scenic spots are spread all over the province. If you want to visit the main scenic spots, you must travel by car.
On May 6, 2019, I set off from Shantou, Guangdong, and entered Guangnan, Yunnan via Baise, Guangxi. I started a 32-day self-driving tour in Yunnan with a journey of 9,350 kilometers, and returned to Shantou smoothly on June 6.
