Kunming's spring city, Puzhehei's lotus maze and Guizhou's great falls
Two green provinces in one comfortable arc: Kunming's lake-and-hills spring city and Stone Forest, the lotus lakes of Puzhehei, then the Guizhou border for Huangguoshu's thunder, the Longgong cave river and Qingyan's stone lanes — finishing in Guiyang's night markets.

Boat the cave river and palace halls; an easy Buyi-village lunch.
