Things to do in Lijiang

Amazing experience at the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, Blue Moon Valley and the Impression Lijiang Show. Itinerary was well organised and communication was prompt and clear via WeChat. Driver was very friendly and checked in with everyone regularly. Great value for money, highly recommend.

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 tour was absolutely worth it! With the high altitude and unpredictable weather, getting around Lijiang and Shangri-La can be quite challenging, but our driver, 聪奔, made the entire experience so much better. His driving was incredibly smooth — we literally slept like babies throughout the tour! He gave us clear instructions and helpful safety precautions, making sure we were comfortable and well-prepared at every stop. What made the experience even more special was how much he shared about the places we passed along the way. We got to learn so many interesting stories beyond just sightseeing. The translation app he used was also excellent, so communication was never an issue at all. Highly recommend!

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.

Highly recommended! The tour operator was incredibly attentive, accommodating, and always ready to assist. Our driver in Dali and Lijiang Master Ah Xing was excellent and also served as our tour guide, making the trip smooth and enjoyable. Communication through WeChat was seamless, and everything was well-coordinated with no problems at all. If you’re planning a trip to Yunnan, this agency is definitely a great choice. Excellent service from start to finish!

Tour provided hiking poles. We walked from where we parked to teahorse inn, back to halfway inn to have lunch and to longdong waterfall. Guide gave us the option to walk to Zhanglaoshi inn on our own instead of walking the same way back to the car and picked us up at the main road at the end of the trail. 12.7km hike in total but terrain was easy and beginner friendly. Guide took many photos of us and sent them almost immediately on WeChat. V safe driving on the mountain roads.

The seating arrangement in the VIP area was excellent, and we were provided with sun hats and bottled water before being seated. The performance, designed by Zhang Yimou, featured performers in ethnic minority costumes, creating a beautiful spectacle. The only downside is that it's weather-dependent; as an open-air theater, a heavy rain would detract from the experience.

Great show, worth seeing. If you select "tomorrow" when booking your tickets, remember to double-check your ticket confirmation details (for example, I booked tickets for July 13th for "tomorrow," but the issued ticket was for July 15th).
