Yunnan, China

So i'm heading to the Yunnan region of China for a month in a few weeks. I plan on exploring the usual sites in the northwest but with a bike focus, maybe some bike packing village to village, fast and light type deal. Otherwise, base camp style out of small towns with day trips out to the mountains.

I'm aware of the general riding in the areas around Dali and Shangri-la etc but I'm curious if anyone here has traveled the region with a mountain bike and has some beta. Or perhaps you've hiked in the region while wishing you had a mountain bike...

Thanks!
