Please advise cost of one additional night before tour in Kunming

The additional night in Kunming on 11th December is USD68 per room per night.

The 2 of us have a fear of looking down from a cable car. Is it possible for 2 of us to go up and down Jade Dragon Snow Mountain by road? If not, can an activity be substituted at the foot of the mountain. For example, could we visit a Naxi family? Direct flights from Singapore (where we live) arrive and leave in the very early hours of the morning. Do you know of more convenient flights. Would you travel guide be able to meet us and send us off at odd hours?

Regarding your question about the cable car at Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, I will check the possibility to change other activities for you. Since it is currently the weekend, I will confirm the details with our local team on Monday and get back to you with a clear answer. As for your flights, please don't worry. No matter what time your flight arrives or departs—even very early in the morning or late at night—we can always arrange a private driver to pick you up from or transfer you to the airport.

We had a great time on the 8 Days Classic Yunnan tour and it was a great introduction to one of the most interesting areas of China. Itinerary was carefully planned, with beautiful natural scenery, historic towns, cultural activities, and chances to experience local traditions. The old streets were of particular interest, and the scenery was so beautiful that made Yunnan so unique. Our tour guide was very friendly, knowledgeable and very professional. They gave fascinating details about the history, ethnic cultures, and local customs of the different places, making them more meaningful. They were also very carefree and interested in the group and were always there when they were required to answer questions or give recommendations. The transportation was comfortable, the accommodations were pleasant and the program was well organized. Enjoyed plenty of free time to take photographs, taste local food and explore the area at my own speed. Everything went smoothly, making the journey relaxing and enjoyable. I think the overall 8 Days Classic Yunnan tour exceeded my expectations. It was a wonderful mix of culture, scenery and adventure – and I came back with lots of great memories. This is an excellent tour for anyone who wants a good and enjoyable Yunnan tour!Show more

  The visit to Jade Dragon Snow Mountain is scheduled in the morning, where guests will normally take the cable car for sightseeing.
  If you prefer not to take the cable car, you may spend some free time taking photos at the popular photo spot near the parking area outside the scenic zone, where you can enjoy a panoramic view of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain.
  Alternatively, you can relax inside the scenic area, have a cup of coffee, and wait for the group while enjoying the surroundings.

  (1) If we do not go up Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, is it possible for you to arrange for 2 of us a visit to a Naxi family instead?

  The additional cost for visiting a Mosuo/Naxi family is USD20 per person, plus a guide service fee of USD102 per day, a 5-seat car rental of USD138 per day, and a meal allowance for the driver and guide of USD10 per meal.

  (5) Do you help or advise in international flight bookings before and after the Yunnan tour?
  It is available, but international flight prices fluctuate quickly, and there will be a service fee for booking through us. We recommend booking on your own as it may be more cost-effective.

  The tour guide will be an English-speaking guide.
