Yenny, Founder & Lead Cultural Specialist

“Yunnan isn’t just a destination; it’s a living tapestry of traditions. My goal is to help you see the soul of this province, not just its landmarks.”

Having spent over a decade traversing the ancient Tea Horse Road and living among the diverse ethnic groups of the region, Yenny founded Yunnan Journey to share the authentic, unfiltered beauty of her home. She specializes in creating immersive cultural itineraries that connect travelers with local communities and hidden tea forests.
