hi,
so I want to ride from Kunming to Dali.
Expressway is not allowed and the road following the expressway will be very busy I guess.
With help from google I made an alternative route. Stop over in Yuanmou and visit earth forest park.
So anyone any experience with this route..is it worth the effort?

(around yuanmou there is a loop on google maps..i want to take the upper part...)
tx!
Ps. we are on 125 CC motorcycles
I don't know the bits near kunming, but i can certainly recommend this approach into dali if you have time for the detour.

Jizushan is a lovely area with good mountain roads and little traffic.
Then that road going along the east side of erhai lake is brilliant, big fast sweeping bends on smooth black top. Was on a 125 the first time i rode it and still had plenty of fun. Just cane it.
Just rode the route and most of it is very nice.
Very little traffic and nice scenery.
Some parts are offroad but not for a long time. Most of the time the road is very good.
We slept in Yuanmou where you can visit the Yuanmou earth forests. there are two. Both well worth it.
tx Felix for the suggestion. Unfortunately it started raining in the afternoon so we didnt take the detour. Maybe when we leave here to the north.
Some pics. mainly from the first day.
