Features: "Read ten thousand books, travel ten thousand miles" was the pursuit of ancient scholars in their quest for knowledge and self-cultivation. In the 21st century, "ten thousand books" and "ten thousand miles" are no longer rare or difficult to attain, but the challenge lies in reading meaningful books and traveling purposefully without wasting time—this has become a major issue. China is a vast country with abundant tourism resources, and exploring it is a common passion and aspiration for the descendants of the Yellow River. Therefore, "Ctrip's China" was republished under the anticipation of countless travel enthusiasts and netizens, undoubtedly playing a positive role in helping domestic travelers avoid unnecessary detours and appreciate more beautiful scenery. The book offers unique introductions to attractions, travel guides, tips, small knowledge points, travel budget forecasts, and more, presenting a distinctive and practical structure for readers. It is particularly noteworthy that the book carries recommendations from thousands of "travelers" () for hidden gems across the country, many of which may have been previously unknown. Thus, avid travelers can find out how to explore, food lovers discover how to savor local cuisine, photography enthusiasts gain location guidance and photo references, and backpackers know where to find fellow travelers. These valuable experiences are thanks to Ctrip Travel Network's six years of operation in the travel community, as well as the collective efforts of travel enthusiasts over the years. Naturally, these should be shared with society and readers to spread and flourish. "Ctrip's China - Yunnan" focuses on the introduction of scenic spots and tourism information across Yunnan, interspersed with knowledge about customs, festivals, culture, local specialties, climate, transportation, and more—all of which are helpful for travel planning and enhance readers' interest. The book is divided into six parts covering 13 scenic areas. Part one introduces Yunnan's overall tourism resources and recommends itineraries for the province. The remaining parts divide Yunnan into five regions—Central Yunnan, Northwest Yunnan, West Yunnan, Southwest Yunnan, and Southeast Yunnan—and introduce them one by one. Central Yunnan includes three scenic areas: Kunming, Yuxi, and Qujing (including some attractions in Zhaotong). Northwest Yunnan covers five scenic areas: Chuxiong, Dali, Lijiang, Shangri-La, and Nujiang. West Yunnan includes two scenic areas: Baoshan and Dehong. Southwest Yunnan features one scenic area: Xishuangbanna (including some attractions in Simao and Lincang). Southeast Yunnan includes two scenic areas: Honghe and Wenshan. The book covers a total of 180 attractions, approximately 200 pictures, and over 40 maps.
