Discover Southern Yunnan — 4 Days, 3 Nights

[Afternoon] Please arrive at the train station at least 40 minutes in advance according to the departure time, enter the station with your original valid personal ID, and board the "Silk Road Train" to start your wonderful journey.

[Evening] Sit in the train, enjoy a high-quality exquisite dinner, and a glass of wine of your choice, and let the scenery of the journey and the pleasure of your tongue travel together.

[Night] After the dinner, the Silk Road Train repertoire cocktail party. When dusk fades, you can choose to have a drink in the leisurely bar, or you can move to the landscape car and immerse yourself in the romantic atmosphere of a classic movie in the flowing night.

[Today] Drive for about 1 hour, let's leave the hustle and bustle of the city for a while, go to the primeval rainforest in Xishuangbanna, and start a healing and wild jungle hiking trip. This is the secret land of southern Yunnan, with endless layers of greenery. The warm and humid air carries the fragrance of vegetation and soil. Every breath is an immersive lung cleansing.

Follow the local indigenous guide deep into the hinterland of the rainforest, stepping on the soft rotten leaves and scattering fine and mottled light and shadow. Along the way, you will discover the unique wonders of the rainforest. Thick roots, twining vines, and ancient cypress trees grow in scattered places. The forest is filled with the chirping of insects and birds. Occasionally, you will encounter small creatures that shuttle back and forth, full of vitality.

Stroll along the river, explore the forest, unlock niche rainforest knowledge, and experience the original wildness of the jungle. There are no deliberate check-in routines, only natural and pure healing.

[Morning] We will visit the [Shiping Railway Museum] led by Shiping Station staff. Yellowed stocks, handwritten tickets, rusty parts and dusty letters from home are quietly displayed. Standing next to a full-scale replica of the Baldwin SN locomotive, you can hear the roar of steam and the hustle and bustle of the past, and instantly travel back to the turbulent era of the bluestone railway.

[Then] Visit [Shiping Ancient City] to explore the scholarly character of Yuan Jiagu, the number one scholar, and stroll through the Confucian charm of Shiping Confucian Temple. Experts’ in-depth explanations connect the cultural context and life imprints of the ancient city for six hundred years.

[Noon] On the quaint platform of the century-old Shiping Railway Station, we sincerely invite the train chef to select fresh mountain vegetables, mushrooms, flowers and fruits from Yunnan, and combine French cooking techniques with oriental aesthetics to customize a French long table feast that travels through time. When the scorching sun paints the old station with gold, you will taste the richness and romance of southern Yunnan among the cups.

[Afternoon] Take a ride on the retro Allosaurus and travel through the century-old meter-gauge railway. The train moves forward slowly, passing by the blue waves of Yilong Lake and pastoral villages, slowly unlocking the scenery of southern Yunnan, and encountering retro romance and mountain fireworks in slow time.

[Morning] The early morning sunshine shines into the carriage through the window, and the Silk Road Train has carefully prepared a sumptuous breakfast for you. Fragrant bread, golden and crisp bacon, fresh and tender salad, and steaming coffee. You enjoy the delicious food while admiring the beautiful scenery passing by outside the window.

Arrive in Kunming, leave the car and return.
