Is it east to travel Yunnan on your own
I’m a senior and would like to see Yunnan and Sichuan. I’m interested in scenery and culture of its people. Would like to do some easy hiking. Is it feasible for me to do it by myself and book hotels as I go along? I have a rough itinerary and know what I’d to see and do.
