Things to do in Lijiang

The tour was very well arranged, with Tom coordinating everything through WeChat. The driver picked us up early at 6.30am to avoid the crowds. First, we went to pick up the oxygen bottles before proceeding to the first location, blue moon valley, reaching at approximately 7.15-7.30am. En route, we saw huge crowds queuing for tickets. Once we reached blue moon valley, the driver did not follow us in but gave us very detailed instructions on what to do. We also paid for the mini shuttles to bring us around (~40 yuan). After that, we were supposed to meet the driver at the tourist centre but as the rest of my group have not returned, my guide instructed me to head up to the mountain first. Again, he sent specific instructions and the QR code which will be used for the cable car rides and the Lijiang impression performance. Overall, the itinerary was well-planned and there were sufficient time for us to explore the places on our own and the whole process was seamless.

This was my second time visiting Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, and this Klook tour made it way better than my first solo trip. The driver was skilled and safe, navigating the winding mountain roads smoothly. The guide took us to a less touristy spot for lunch with amazing local Yunnan dishes—way better than the overpriced restaurants near the entrance. We had plenty of time to explore each spot, no rushed photo ops. Perfect for travelers who want a relaxed day out

This travel experience exceeded expectations! The itinerary was well-paced, covering all the must-see attractions without any mandatory shopping stops. Special mention goes to the tour guide—extremely knowledgeable, with engaging and humorous commentary, who cared for everyone throughout the trip and patiently answered all questions.

Tour guide: When planning the trip, I inquired with several travel companies, specifically asking if they had female guides. Klook recommended Sister Mei to us, saying that customers who had been with her thought she was exceptionally good. So, after comparing several options, we embarked on a five-day, four-night journey with Sister Mei as our driver. Unexpectedly, Sister Mei turned out to be a fantastic guide – patient, meticulous, conscientious, and responsible. She took everyone's feelings into account and took care of us without us having to say much. Sister Mei thoughtfully prepared fruits, snacks, and local delicacies for us. She never rushed us, cared about whether we were warm enough, and demonstrated excellent driving skills on difficult roads. I knew choosing a female driver and female guide wouldn't be a mistake!

This trip was the most satisfying Yunnan trip ever. Our driver and guide, You Xia, was very dedicated and responsible, always on time. The restaurants she recommended were affordable, delicious, and offered excellent value! The service was warm and attentive, and she carefully checked on our health every day, reminding us to ventilate by opening the windows. Her driving skills were also very steady, allowing us to rest peacefully during the journey. We traveled from Lijiang to Lugu Lake, rode in a pig trough boat, and experienced the uniqueness of Dukezong Ancient City in Shangri-La. At Meili Snow Mountain, we were fortunate enough to witness the "Golden Sunlight on the Snow Mountain," and enjoyed the beautiful scenery of the Baima Snow Mountain hike. In short, this trip was unforgettable and meaningful, and the laughter along the way enriched our Yunnan trip! Thanks again to our driver and guide, Xiao You. Her professional explanations also enriched our understanding of Yunnan. We hope everyone who comes to Yunnan will have a happy time. Tashi Delek!

My friend and I had this roadtrip in the 4th week of November 2025. It was one of the most amazing roadtrips I ever had. We don't even speak Chinese, but brother Cola made it smooth even with the translator app. He is attentive and also good at taking photos. We visited all the places mentioned in the Klook itinerary and also stopped at some viewing platforms along the way. Even play with the snow while taking a break from driving. As for meals, all lunches and dinners were at our own expense, while breakfasts were in the hotel restaurant, a tea/coffee in HalfWay cafe was included. Since it's the 2 of us, brother Cola picked us up and dropped us off at the hotel instead of a random location. The itinerary planner person will let us know the weather, temperature and destination the night before. They will also adjust the plan depending on the situation. However, the executioner is brother Cola, and he will make sure the experience is top-notch. We also love his car! Highly recommended!

This tour is highly recommended for anyone who's looking to travel to Yunnan. The itinerary was really great, it didn't felt rushed and we felt like we got to visit many places. The accommodations were top-notch and had really great vibes and views. The tour guide assigned to us was 和师傅, he was very thoughtful and considerate throughout the entire trip. Bought us to local eateries and performances when we had time to spare. We learnt so much about the history of the many places that we drive through, the attractions we went and even about the difference tribes. I will definitely be bringing my family along again for a trip so they can experience what I experienced. Highly recommend 和师傅 for your tour!

Solo traveling has a lot of limitations, so booking this tour was really great value for the money. Since there wasn't a tour guide, the driver and master were local Naxi people who took this group of a few people and introduced the scenery and customs of Lijiang and Shangri-La along the way. His driving skills were truly first-class, safe and stable 👍🏻. The itinerary was rich but not too tiring, with enough time for us to slowly acclimatize to the high altitude. I would join again next time I come to Yunnan 👍🏻.

This show is absolutely incredible! You definitely have to go. Booking is very simple. Once confirmed, the tickets will be sent to you via WhatsApp. If you can, get the VIP ticket which offers the best seats at the top center. For this show, it's better to be up high to see all the details.
