Taiwan planned by Best for the first time about a year ago. This time round she took us through Yunnan’s western corridor of ancient cities and towns amidst one of the most breath-taking high-altitude sceneries from snowy mountain peaks to crystal clear water lakes. We came back home from our Yunnan trip not only with a lasting impression of scenic high-altitude pollution-free Yunnan but also a new-found knowledge of its many tribes’ cultural heritage. For adventurous travelers, I recommend driving up the mountain to La Wei of Forest Coffee Plantations. It is super challenging to drive off-road up the unlighted hills. (We had many doubtful moments and almost attempted to turn around.) But the nocturne view of the lighted city below and glowing moon in the sky makes the adventure so worthwhile.

The scenery can be much more gorgeous on a good weather day. This 70-hectare ranch is situated 200m-390m above sea level.
