Most of the population lives in the eastern part of the province. In the west, the relative height from mountain peaks to river valleys can be as much as 3,000 metres (9,800?ft). Yunnan is rich in natural resources and has the largest diversity of plant life in China. Of the approximately 30,000 species of higher plants in China, Yunnan has perhaps 17,000 or more.[5] Yunnan's reserves of aluminium, lead, zinc and tin are the largest in China, and there are also major reserves of copper and nickel.

First and foremost is the spectacular scenery which greets you much of the time. The highlight of this highlight is Tiger Leaping Gorge. One of the biggest and most spectacular gorges in the world. Sip beer and sup pizza half way up the gorge at tiny Walnut Garden. Both below and above you is a massive wall of rock starting at the Yangzi river 2,000 metres below and finishing another 2,000 metres above your head. Snow capped mountains peak over that again. It all adds up to be one of the most inspirational destinations on the planet, and most people have never even heard of it meaning it is Tibet Tours still a reasonably chilled out Baktrax destination.

Dali is simply a wonderful old town where visitors with no time constraints often stay longer than they planned. The mountain vistas, Erhai lake and the availability of cappucchinos and other homesick food makes it the perfect destination.

Dali is very easy to navigate on foot with its narrow streets and alleys lined with old stone houses, quaint shops and other interesting buildings. Now on many travellers itineraries it is well geared up for the tourists of today. Luckily if you close your eyes to the tourists the town looks much the same as it did a century or more ago. Walk down one of the back lanes and it is indeed like going back in time. 
Again a well deserved highlight.Lhasa Tour
