the driver is very good. he very particular about the time. because in the morning, we need to take turn for the toilet 😂. Then he seems fierce but he actually concern on our time to spend for the whole trip. At the blue moon valley, we need to purchase the ticket there, he guided us to the counter explained to us on how the route and check point for electric car because he was not joining us. Then again, he remind us about the time because we need to go to cable car for Yulong Mountain by 11am. We actually got so caught up with the beautiful scenery and almost past our time. There are too many beautiful spot that for photographs but we have time constraints. Fortunately, our driver checked on us and guide us via WeChat where to go and we arrive at cable car by 11.30am. There, he guided us to the check in gate. During our time at Yulong mountain, the mist is thick and it is so cloudy that we cannot see the mountain peak. And lesson learnt here, please make sure you eat before going up.

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.

Smooth and hassle-free experience from start to finish. All tickets and cable car access were pre-arranged, saving lots of time queuing. Perfect choice for first-time visitors to Lijiang.

Master Shen is reliable and meticulous. He arranged for complete equipment and constantly reminded us of important details. Blue Moon Valley is beautiful and great for photos. Although there were some altitude sickness symptoms when ascending Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, fortunately, Master Shen had us bring an extra oxygen tank, so we still managed to climb to 4,591 meters. Highly recommended!

I'm Thai and traveled alone, so I booked a one-day trip with Klook. The tour guide provided excellent care. Even though communication was difficult, the guide consistently provided advice throughout the trip. It was great!

We were awed by the beauty of the landscape and for that to have happened, we greatly appreciated our dedicated guide (阿万 Ah Wan) who had driven us to the scenic locations and helped us with photos along the way. Prior to the trip, the tour operator contacted me about a week before the to verify pick up location and time. They are truly professional and made our day trip memorable.

recommended tour. the basic meal pack consists of a bun, banana and fruit and pepsi. we stopped by 3 photo spots on the way. at zhanglaoshi rest stop, we changed to a smaller car and drove to the halfway house area. then we started the 6.8km hike (3.2km up and 3.6km downhill). the driver is also the tour guide, my tour guide was very professional and helpful. i was inexperienced in hiking mountain paths and needed extra assistance and he was there to assist me on the downhill section. important to note that for people with no hiking experience, the downhill path is rather scary as there are no barriers and the path is filled with rocks. this middle gorge route also does not include the upper gorge, so you won't be able to get the "iconic" tiger gorge photo. pick this route only if you are interested in the experience of hiking haba mountain. the hike takes around 2-3h depending on your speed and experience.

Sister Zhang was wonderful; she took great care of us throughout the trip, especially since we were traveling with elderly family members. She explained the tour route to us in detail and even proactively refunded the senior citizens' ticket fees (admission is free for those over 70). Since we had an early start, she also took us to Ganhaizi to take some photos, which was fantastic!

Tips for travellers from Australia

Most travellers booking Lijiang on Klook plan about two weeks ahead, while the earliest planners lock in roughly 32 days out; last-minute bookings are possible within 7 days. That makes a bit of planning sensible: lock in must-do Tours and Events & shows a couple of weeks before travel, and consider booking earlier for April and July when demand is higher. Klook booking data shows typical lead times and seasonal pressure, so use Klook to compare options and secure experiences in advance when you want certainty — but if your plans are flexible, many activities remain bookable a week out.
