📖 Lonely Planet writes: "All the wonders of Yunnan, whether familiar or still unknown to you, lie along the route from Nujiang to Tengchong." Bringing kids into this "land where humans and gods coexist" means a journey full of natural classrooms and cultural experiences, no rushing, no tiring the kids—perfect for family travel!
🌄 The Nujiang Grand Canyon hides the most pristine natural wonders and the simplest village life. Take the kids to see the clearest river water and the cleanest skies, and together feel the magic of nature and the warmth of culture~
