Forums > Travel Yunnan > Not-too-touristy Yunnan traveling

Hi,
I'm planning a trip to Yunnan in June 2018 for about 3 weeks with a few friends. We are looking for places to visit that are not completely filled with tourists but still worth visiting. Old towns, hiking, beautiful scenery, tea houses, perhaps swimming, are all of interest too us. I speak decent Mandarin which I imagine should help us get around.

In addition to specific places, it would also be great to get some general tips/advice for how to travel "off the beaten path" in Yunnan.

(I know this has been asked before, but I figured I would ask again to get more recent information.)
