Thanks everyone !

I'll try to have a VPN connection for Google map and I've already downloaded Baidu map app but I can't read Chinese...

I'd like to find a paper map too. Which is quite difficult here (in France). Do you know where I can find one in Kunming ?

Tigertiger : what you say sound quite discouraging. Thanks for the warning but do you think I should abandon this idea ?

Btw I'll try to make up my own opinion when I'll be there.

Hi !

I'll be on a trip on my own in Yunnan in july and I've already read much on this website. It is really helpful !

I'm trying to prepare a cycle tour in the countryside, mainly on flat road, cycling for max 90 km a day to have time to enjoy some breaks.

I'm thinking of a round tour from Kunming through :
- the stone forest in Shilin
- Luxi
- Luoping
- Gaoliangxiang
- Puzhehei
- Pingyuanzhen
- Kaiyuan
- Jianshui (+1 day visiting)
- Jiangchuan
- and back to Kunming

I planed it with Google maps and I don't know Yunnan and China at all, so it may not be such a good idea ?

Does any of you have some advice about it ?
Especially about :
- where to find the best bike rental in Kunming ? do you know if it's possible to rent some kind of trailer sinc I'll only have my big backpack.
- where to buy a map ?
- the itinerary : do you you think it's a reasonnable one ? any advice about safety or security ?
- what about the weather in july ? is it ok enough for cycling in this area ?
- in some places, such as Gaoliangxiang and Pingyuanzhen, I wonder if I'll find any accomodation ?
- any suggestion on what to visit along the route ?
- is it possible to take the train with a bicycle if I feel lazy (or hurt) ?

Thanks a lot !

François
