As families across China seek enriching activities for the Spring Festival holiday, the southwestern province of Yunnan has emerged as a top destination. Known for its spectacular natural landscapes, rich biodiversity, and diverse ethnic cultures, Yunnan is offering unique experiences that captivate both parents and children.
Visitors to Yunnan can embark on journeys along the mysterious Nujiang River Valley to meet one of China’s rarest ethnic groups, immerse themselves in the tropical wonders of Xishuangbanna, explore the ancient towns of Dali with their distinctive architecture and traditions, or follow the fragrant trails of tea leaves in Pu’er City to learn about the integral role of tea in Chinese life.
In January, the Yunnan Travel Agency Association launched ten themed routes tailored for children of different ages and their parents. Popular regions like Xishuangbanna, Kunming, and Dali feature prominently in these itineraries. These routes offer not just sightseeing but educational experiences, allowing visitors to broaden their knowledge of geography, rare species, and local customs.
One standout offering is the farming tour in Dali, where families can participate in hands-on activities such as vegetable planting, scarecrow making, and net fishing. These interactive experiences foster learning and bonding, as parents and kids engage together in traditional rural practices.
The surge in popularity of Yunnan’s winter study camps reflects a growing trend among families seeking meaningful travel experiences that combine education and leisure. By engaging with Yunnan’s natural beauty and cultural richness, families are creating lasting memories while gaining a deeper appreciation for the region’s heritage.
