Hi,
I am planing to travelling to Yunnan during the new year around 10days.
6/2/08 - reach KUnMing in the evening, and 15/2 leave kunmning at night.
I am not sure whether 10days are enough for me to cover KunMing, Li Jiang, Dali, and Zhongdian.

Can anyone help on the itinerary?
We have only 2 persons for this trip.
Is Lunar New Year still a good time to travel to Li Jiang, the mountain and Zhongdian? What would be the temperature?
And how could we arrange the transport during this China holiday season.
Thank you.
