Figueres travel agency Viatges Viñolas will host a free talk on Thursday, 18 June, about Yunnan, a distinctive and lesser-known region of China. The event starts at 6pm at the agency’s offices on Carrer Rutlla, 23-25, and is open to the public, although places are limited.

The talk will be led by Edith López García, who has lived in the south-western Chinese region for years. She will introduce Yunnan’s main attractions and give attendees a closer look at a destination that appeals to travellers looking for cultural and scenic trips beyond the usual routes.

Yunnan is known for its mountain landscapes, its many ethnic minorities with centuries-old cultures, and a gastronomy and way of life that differ from other parts of China. The session is intended to give travellers a clearer picture of the region’s character and what makes it stand out.

Viatges Viñolas says it also has branches in Girona, Roses, Manresa, Tortosa and Torroella de Montgrí. The agency specialises in group tours, tailor-made holidays and corporate travel. More information is available through the agency’s offices and social media channels.
