A separate Guangxi–Yunnan journey

Cloud Sanctuary also departs from Guangzhou, but follows a separate Guangxi–Yunnan route. Its Lijiang / non-plateau option omits Shangri-La and still includes Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. This is a choice within Cloud Sanctuary, not a non-plateau version of the Xinjiang journey.
