Vietnam to China: Ethnic People of the Border

Vietnam to China, two countries, many people!

Although this trip is from North Vietnam to the base of the Tibetan Plateau in China seems like the ultimate in adventure, curious people of all ages and physical abilities can enjoy this most unusual program. The itinerary certainly takes you off the beaten track, but the trip is not difficult. The travelers you meet, the scenery, and the variety of cultures make this the vacation of a lifetime. Beginning in Hanoi, you will head up north to the hill tribe towns of Sa Pa and Bac Ha in time to visit the villages and enjoy the less visited Coc Ly Market. Then, crossing the border between Vietnam and China by car, you will head to Kunming, stopping in rarely visited villages and visiting the third largest Confucian temple in China. A flight takes you to Dali and on to Lijang, to see the Bai and Naxi of the area. After exploring Lijang, you head north to the Tibetan plateau to Gyalthang, the area aptly named by the Chinese, Shangri-La!
