How your private trip works
The day plan leaves room for meals, comfort stops and the pace of your party. Road times are planning estimates and may lengthen in rain or holiday traffic. Your final proposal confirms the meeting point, hotels, private vehicle, guiding language, included admissions and any booked workshops before payment. Domestic flights and trains are included only when itemised in that proposal. Travel insurance, personal purchases and meals not specified remain separate.
Tell us your dates, number of travellers, ages of children, walking preferences and preferred room arrangement. We can shorten walks and adjust departure times while keeping the overnight route practical. Hosted visits depend on the host’s availability; no shopping purchase is required.

Daily Itinerary
Meet at Tengchong Tuofeng Airport and transfer to your chosen hotel in town or around Heshun. If you arrive early, take a brief orientation walk near the accommodation. Keep the evening free for dinner and rest. The itinerary does not require a same-day mountain outing, and a late arrival simply means going directly to the hotel.
Overnight: Tengchong or Heshun. Travel and walking: Airport transfer generally 30–60 minutes according to the hotel.
Follow a quieter Heshun route with a guide, pausing at a courtyard and a small craft workspace when a host has agreed to receive visitors. Focus on materials, architecture and everyday use rather than a promised performance. After lunch, spend time over tea and leave the afternoon open for independent browsing. Hands-on activities are confirmed separately so the visit does not depend on finding a workshop open by chance.
Overnight: Tengchong or Heshun. Travel and walking: Local transfers; slow walks on stone lanes with frequent rests.
Enjoy a late breakfast and time at your hotel before meeting your guide for a short afternoon walk in Heshun. Revisit a favourite courtyard, sit over tea or browse a small local craft shop with no purchase requirement. Keeping this day loose gives the longer journey breathing space and allows an earlier weather-affected visit to be moved here when practical.
Overnight: Tengchong or Heshun. Travel and walking: Local transfers only; walking entirely adjustable.
Have breakfast and depart for Tengchong Tuofeng Airport at the agreed time. A short local stop is possible only if the flight schedule leaves enough room; the standard plan prioritises an easy departure. If continuing by road to another western Yunnan city, arrange that transfer separately with its own travel allowance rather than treating it as an airport run.
Overnight: Departure. Travel and walking: Usually 30–60 minutes to the airport, plus carrier check-in time.
