By Jonny Blair


When you decide to go backpacking and trekking through Yunnan Province in China you can look forward to the experience of your life. You get all the fresh air and exercise you need while getting close to nature and seeing some of the most astonishing scenery as you travel across the region. The Yunnan region is a popular tourist destination and offers many attractions.

Preparing for your trip of a life-time will require planning. You can start by downloading free maps and information about the Yunnan Provence from travel websites on the internet. You can also download free of charge a number of planned trip itineraries which have proved popular in the past with other travellers to the area.

Public transport around the region is available on a fairly limited timetable. The buses in places such as Luoping are available but do not appear to operate to a specific timetable. Tourists can usually find vans for hire, bikes and even horses to get around for when they get tired of walking.

Yunnan Province is home to many areas of natural beauty and history. Tourist traffic can be fairly heavy during certain times of the year and it is advisable to book accommodation and transport prior to starting your vacation. Options along many of the trekking routes provide clean, comfortable but basic accommodation. The majority of the guest houses and hotels do have email internet access for their guests to use. The local people can provide visitors with detailed information and directions to all the best places to visit.

You will have the opportunity to sample many of the local speciality dishes which come highly recommended by many travellers. You should sample the menus in your hotel or guest house, or ask staff for recommendations and directions to the best local restaurants. Visitors to the area are advised to use bottled water as opposed to local water supplies.

If you require medical services during your travels you will be able to access them in most areas. The costs for medical treatments are likely to be cheaper than they would be in your home country. However, some types of medication may not be readily available and it is important to take enough supplies to last for the duration of your trip.

To go trekking through the Yunnan Province requires a certain degree of physical fitness. You will be travelling through a variety of different terrains and need to be adequately equipped. A well planned itinerary will ensure that you should get the best out of your experience.
