    Wow, what a beautiful video! Some of the footages are amazing, as I have never been to Yunnan. It looks like there is a lot green despite the winter time. I dream to go there one day. The food looks great too.:) I think very spicy Chinese food is not common in Europe.

    As Chinese I strongly recommend you spend 2 weeks visiting these places in Yunnan. I remember a few years ago I spent a week visiting ONLY Dali and Lijiang together with my parents as well as my grandparents, that was in a hurry and there were some sightseeing spots we didn't visit😂

    6 days is too short to explore Yunnan. Yunnan province land area is about 394k km2 and it is bigger than whole Germany.
