Top Kunming Classes & Workshops

The capital of the Yunnan Province, Kunming has a wealth of natural attractions—and this full-day, private tour offers a seamless way to experience them. Following morning pickup from your hotel, have a light breakfast (own expense). From there, it’s up to you: head to the forested Western Hills or the peaceful Dian Lake, where you can hike, cycle, climb, or even explore local cave systems, according to your preferences. After a traditional meal (own expense), return to central Kunming.

This one‑day experience blends rural lifestyle, hands‑on food‑making and light‑hearted traditional Chinese‑medicine culture, far beyond regular sightseeing tours. You will not merely watch, but take part in every activity: pick fresh farm produce by yourself, cook authentic local meals on a fire‑wood stove, and pick‑up simple practical herbal tips in our relaxing TCM workshop. Finish your day at Dounan Flower Market, feeling the real local daily life of Kunming. No rushed schedules, focus on authentic local‑style immersion.

Participate in a hands-on activity where you can create your own version of the traditional Yunnan tile cats, which are unique clay figures commonly seen on the rooftops of local buildings. Learn about the history and cultural significance of tile cats in Yunnan and get the chance to mold and shape your own tile cat using clay, guided by artisans who teach the techniques for crafting these iconic figures. Once sculpted, the clay figures are fired and often painted, making for a fun and creative souvenir from Kunming.
