An excellent and very polished experience. We had the best time ❤️ First we spent time at the market, with presentations and Q&A at various stalls, had a tasting and lots of smells. The teaching kitchen is modern and professional. Fancy showed us her other business, a patisserie with a range of excellent croissants and breads. This is not just about the cooking, it’s also about the Nazi culture. We had a great time.

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.

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!

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).

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.

What to know before visiting Lijiang

What to do in Lijiang year-round

Lijiang is known for guided Tours, local Events & shows and Cultural experiences, with Tours making up the largest share of bookings. The city's rhythm peaks in April and eases through March, so plan activities with that seasonality in mind. Klook booking data shows Tours dominate demand in spring when visitors chase festivals and good weather, while Events & shows and Cultural experiences offer memorable evenings and hands-on learning across quieter months. For choices between day tours and immersive cultural offers, pick the right season for your priorities and book accordingly via Klook.

Best months to visit Lijiang

April is the busiest time to visit Lijiang while March is typically the quietest, according to Klook booking data. Prices vary through the year: the priciest month for bookings was July and the lowest median prices on Klook were in April, so crowds and prices don't always move together. If you want lower prices and fewer people, aim for April or the quieter shoulder months; for a lively peak-season atmosphere, visit in July when demand is higher.

Tips for travellers from Hong Kong

Most travellers lock plans in about two weeks ahead, with the earliest planners booking around a month out, based on Klook booking data. That means you can stay flexible and often book Tours or Events a short while before travel, but during April and the July peak it's wise to secure popular activities earlier. Use Klook to reserve guided tours and shows in advance for peace of mind, or watch prices and grab last-minute options within 7 days if your schedule allows — Klook makes it easy to manage bookings for both planners and flexible travellers.
