Hotels in Yunnan, China

Yunnan, in southwest China, enjoys a mild spring-like climate year-round, 60-75°F (15-24°C), making it perfect for exploring Lijiang's ancient canals and Jade Dragon Snow Mountain's hiking trails in any season. During winter, you can bike through Dali's Erhai Lake shores, while summer brings rain that's ideal for trekking through Tiger Leaping Gorge without the peak crowds. Head to Kunming for its 24°C (75°F) average temps and hit the Stone Forest's towering karst pillars, or chill in Shangri-La's Tibetan monasteries when it's cooler at 50°F (10°C).
