Avoid the crowds during National Day! Yunnan's hidden gem routes recommended by locals.

Avoid the crowds during National Day and travel Yunnan with locals. We recommend the very niche town of Xiangcheng. Drive here and enjoy the scenery, magnificent and comfortable. Take photos of Tibetan architecture along the way. The cost of living here is low, so you can save money and have fun with fewer people. - Xiangcheng is like a white pearl lost in the Ganzi River Valley, undisturbed by the world, and therefore, more primitive and simple. The beautiful Tibetan countryside has also been named "One of the 100 Most Beautiful Landscape Shooting Spots in Sichuan" by China National Geographic. This is the filming location of the movie "From Your Whole World", and the white Tibetan houses in the village in the valley are particularly beautiful from the viewing platform. - The pictures are real shots of Xiangcheng. We will go again during National Day.
