    Was there last year, it was beautiful and I loved it. The only bad part of my trip was with the tour company experience in Shangri La, it was a scam and even though it didnt per se ruined my trip, it did affect my view on Shangri La experience. For those who want to go, if you can go by yourself I would highly recommend so, we did pay for the tour only there because we had some extra days and hadn't plan anything so we figured we would have time to go there and pay at night and left the very next day so it was a flash trip, we did end up leaving the tour company before it ended because we were just very disappointed and felt scammed so we ended going back to LiJiang by our own means.

    How hard would it be getting around Yunnan as an English speaker??

    • @JHMedium
      @JHMedium  Год назад +1

      Sorry, to be honest I'm not completely sure since I do speak fluent Mandarin. However Yunnan is the most popular province for foreigners to travel to in China, so I'd say probably it won't be any harder than the big cities like Shanghai or Beijing. In popular sites like Tiger Leaping Gorge, many of the signs are actually in English, and the major guest house owners speak English too. I believe there are also many English tours available in Yunnan so that will make things easier too.
