Jianshui Tours - Best Yunnan Jianshui Tour Packages

Jianshui, a county in Honghe Prefecture, is famous for the Jianshui Old Town with a history of 1200 years. Since Yuan Dynasty (1271-1368), Jianshui was the political, economical, cultural center in South Yunnan. With a reputation of “Historic Museum of Ancient Architectures” and “Museum of Folk Houses”, Jianshui has well preserved more than 100 cultural sites.

There are much to see and explore in this time-honored town, telling vivid stories in its own style. Many travelers would like to spend about 2 days wandering in and out of Jianshui Old Town. In the old town area, you can catch the panoramic sight of the town on Chaoyang Tower, explore in the second grandest Confucius Temple in China, walk into Zhu Family Garden to marvel at the exquisite decorations and beautiful designs... Spend another day getting out of the old town by hopping on the meter-gauge sightseeing train and travel through the idyllic countryside to Double Dragon Bridge and Tuanshan Village to explore Gem of Chinese Civil Houses...

How to Plan a Jianshui Tour in Yunnan?

Jianshui County is on the way between Kunming and Yuanyang Rice Terraces (UNESCO World Heritage & most beautiful rice terrace in China). It is about 180 kilometers from the capital city of Yunnan Province - Kunming, and 116 kilometers from Yuanyang. Travelers can get from Kunming to Jianshui either by driving (2.5-3 hours) or high speed train (2-2.5 hours). It is a good idea to cover both Jianshui and Yuanyang in one trip to see the stunning natural masterpiece and amazing historic site in 4 or 5 days. Many travelers put the two destinations into their longer Yunnan tour and as well as with extension to the classic destinations such as Dali, Lijiang and Shangri-La!
