01 Overview
Kunming’s spring climate and Lijiang’s mountain landscape in one highland route
A seven-day Yunnan journey linking Kunming and Lijiang with Spring City as the golf anchor, a requested high-altitude round and deliberately paced mountain culture.
Flagship Yunnan Highlands Journey
Best for
Scenery-led golfers, couples and travelers comfortable with altitude and a slower highland pace
Recommended length
7–8 days / 6–7 nights
Best months
March–May and September–November
Gateway plan
Arrive Kunming; depart Lijiang or connect through Kunming
Journey pace
Two bases, three rounds and a recovery day before optional high-altitude golf
Course strategy
Use Spring City as the Kunming anchor and treat Lijiang high-altitude golf as a health- and access-dependent request
Ways to tailor it
- Add Dali as a two-night extension
- Keep all three rounds near Kunming
- Replace high-altitude golf with culture
