• Pros
  • This is a completely different China. A China that is ten thousand leagues from the capital, over which the centralising authorities have not had much hold. This is a China with myriads of different colourful costumes, ethnic groups, and a multitude of languages.
  • There is an infinite variety of scenery that is even more amazing than in Northern China: the vastest karstic massif in the world, rice fields "suspended" between the sky and the earth, the mountains of the Tibetan borders ...
• Cons
  • Outside the big centres - Shanghai, Hangzhou, Guilin, Kunming - the tourist infrastructures are sometimes modest, even basic.
  • The food can appear spartan or not very appetising.
  • You need time, patience, and good physical condition to undertake 60-hour trips by train and particularly from 6-to-24-hour trips by bus, driving through remote villages along sometimes unsafe roads.
