📷 Highlights of the trip
- 🏔️ Haba Snow Mountain Observation Deck
- Facing the twin peaks of Haba Snow Mountain and Yulong Snow Mountain, you can enjoy the stunning golden sun shining on the mountain in the morning, with continuous sea of clouds in the valley, and an open view of the alpine meadow. On light-pollution-free nights, you can photograph the snow mountain galaxy. You can immerse yourself in the high-altitude snow peaks without climbing, suitable for all ages.
- 🌊 Tiger Leaping Gorge
- The Jinsha River flows between the Yulong and Haba Snow Mountains, with steep canyons and huge drops. The river water is turbulent and majestic. There are both easy sightseeing routes with escalators and classic high-road hiking trails. Multi-level observation decks allow you to experience the surging rapids of the canyon up close, with a magnificent and visually impactful presence.
- 💧 Baishuitai
- Natural millennia-old travertine forms layers of white terraced pools, with clear light blue water. It is a niche healing wonderland and also the birthplace of Naxi Dongba culture. The boardwalk is flat and easy to walk, with few tourists, making it easy to take clean and fresh mirror-like landscape photos.








Reviews
This one day tour was a great experience for me and my husband - absolutely breathtaking scenery. The itinerary is well planned, with many scenic rest stops to take photos, grab a snack and use the bathroom. Our driver Mr Li was very professional and friendly and made the trip relaxing and enjoyable.
We are 16 traveling from Lijiang to Shangri La in two cars and stopped at Tiger Leaping Gorge, Haba snow mountain observation deck, etc. The Tiger Leaping Gorge is the best. The driver was funny and helpful. He and his colleague tried their best to make us comfortable during the journey that took quite long. The drawback is the one car was not comfortable whilst the other one was a bit luxury and very comfortable.
The driver's service was amazing! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 On time. The day trip service was good, and the car was very comfortable.
