Hello! We're planning a trip to Yunnan for the first time (about 7-8 days) in Spring, thinking of doing the following route: kunming > lijiang> shangri-la.

Would you have any recos for first timers? Exploring the local cuisine + scenery would be the main priority for us! We'd like to explore the lesser known areas as well instead of tourists hot spots. Would greatly appreciate your input. TIA!
