Well that depends on where you’re going. Downtown Zhaotong, about 28 miles from Zhaotong Airport (ZAT), can be challenging to drive in. Keep things easy by going for something small, fuel-efficient, and simple to operate. That said, Zhaotong is a handy base from which to explore many of the canyons around Yunnan. If your getaway is more about cruising down long stretches of road, then you may like something with a bit more trunk space and legroom. What about an SUV or a full-size car?
