great location, modern and clean room. But the shower and toilet has a sliding door where only one side can be closed at a time. if one person uses the shower, then the other will have to use the toilet without privacy. and the frosted glass panel of the toilet & shower does not provide privacy neither. imagine staying in the room with people you're not really comfortable with...

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.

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.

What to know before visiting Lijiang

What to expect in Lijiang

Lijiang is best known for immersive Tours, lively Events & shows and Cultural experiences, with attraction passes playing a smaller role. The city's rhythm through the year shows strong spring peaks around May and quieter pockets in late summer and autumn, so you can plan either for festival energy or calmer exploration. Klook booking data shows that Tours dominate visitor choices, making outdoor sightseeing and guided day trips the staple activity. Decide whether you want the bustle of high season or a relaxed visit: choose peak atmosphere or quieter months. Based on Klook booking data.

When to visit and typical prices

May is the clear high point for travel demand while August is the quietest month; Klook booking data records May as the peak month and August as the trough. Prices move through the year too: the priciest month by median bookings was July (typically MYR 572) while April is the cheapest median month (typically MYR 118), and the two do not line up exactly—May brings crowds though prices peak slightly earlier in July. For lower prices and smaller crowds aim for April or August; for festival atmosphere pick May.

September Busier than usual MYR 300
October Very quiet MYR 223
November Quieter than usual MYR 300
December About average MYR 122

Demand is bookings in that month compared with a typical month, from historical Klook booking data, grouped into the demand levels above; typical price is the median paid on Klook in that month; prices are shown with their currency code. Based on Klook booking data, July 2025 – June 2026.

Tips for travellers from Malaysia

Most travellers from Malaysia tend to book activities about two weeks ahead, with the earliest planners reserving around four weeks out, so treat your planning as moderately paced. Because peak demand concentrates in May and prices peak around July, locking in key Tours and Events & shows earlier for those months reduces the risk of limited availability. Klook booking data shows last-minute bookings are still possible within 7 days, so if you travel flexibly you can still find options close to departure. Book on Klook to compare typical options and secure preferred times while keeping choices open.
