Review for: Small group of 2-7 people

I was fascinated by the Sifang Street in Lijiang. The ancient stone pavement has been polished over the years and is smooth and full of texture. The traditional Naxi buildings on the street are scattered and orderly, and the carved beams and painted buildings show the wisdom of the nation. Here, I not only gained exquisite souvenirs, but also felt the power of traditional cultural inheritance. The driver on the trip was a perfect partner. No matter how complicated the road conditions were, he could always respond calmly to ensure our safe arrival. His love for Yunnan was beyond words. Along the way, he shared many unknown niche attractions and food secrets known to locals, which greatly added points to my travel experience. Thank you for making my trip to Yunnan fruitful.

This trip to Yunnan was great! Shaxi Ancient Town is quiet and quaint. The old shops on the street exude the fragrance of years. Walking through them, time slows down, showing purity and beauty. ​ I have to praise our driver, who has first-class driving skills and can drive smoothly even on complex mountain roads. He is very familiar with the itinerary and can always plan the route cleverly, saving a lot of time. Along the way, he also enthusiastically introduced local culture and food, and shared the little-known stories of Shaxi Ancient Town, making the journey full of fun. Because of the charming scenery of Shaxi and the caring service of the driver, this trip to Yunnan was comfortable and enjoyable, and it is highly recommended!

Yunnan trip must be praised! Cycling along the Erhai Lake in Dali, the wind and sunshine are the taste of freedom; strolling in the ancient city of Lijiang, encountering the tenderness around the corner; chasing the windy place Shaxi is really beautiful. The accommodation is considerate, the route planning is reasonable and not tossing, and the driver is super patient throughout the journey! I don't want to leave when I come here, I strongly recommend it! 💌

This trip to Yunnan was a dream trip! The itinerary was so well arranged, from the poetic Dali between Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake, to the quaint ancient city of Lijiang, to the mysterious and solemn Songzanlin Temple, every stop was intoxicating. Songzanlin Temple was undoubtedly the highlight of the journey. From a distance, it was built on the mountain and was magnificent. The golden roof shone in the sun, like a sacred palace. Stepping into the temple, the exquisite murals, solemn Buddha statues, and the Sanskrit sounds lingering in the air instantly immersed people in a strong religious atmosphere, and the soul seemed to be purified. The entire itinerary route was smooth, and the transition between the attractions was natural, which made me fully feel the rich cultural heritage and charming scenery of Yunnan. And our driver, the master, was professional and considerate. The car drove steadily and fast, cleverly avoiding traffic jams along the way, so that we could spend more time enjoying the beautiful scenery. On the way, the driver would also tell us local anecdotes vividly, making every moment of the journey full of fun. This trip to Yunnan has become an unforgettable and beautiful memory in my heart because of such a carefully planned itinerary, unforgettable attractions, especially the shock brought by Songzanlin Temple, and the excellent service of the driver. I sincerely recommend it to everyone!

He also enthusiastically shared local fun along the way, which added a lot of joy to the journey. This trip to Yunnan left me with beautiful memories because of the high-quality itinerary and driver, and I must give it a thumbs up!
