Things to do in Lijiang

we are family group from Indonesia. This is our first time travel to Yunnan. we are very satisfied with this trip. special thanks to our tour guide, Xiao Wu. he is so helpful and kindhearted. thank you so much, Xiao Wu 🙏🏻🙏🏻⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Our driver made our Yunnan trip absolutely exceptional. He was incredibly accommodating throughout the journey, always patient and attentive to our needs. Beyond just driving, he gave us fantastic recommendations for places to visit that weren't in any guidebook including introducing the historical context. He also went the extra mile by checking weather conditions daily with his fellow drivers, and based on that, he proactively advised itinerary changes to make sure we caught the best scenic views at the right time.. He was also very proactive about advising us on how to prepare for the 4000m high altitude, which really helped us acclimatize comfortably. The biggest highlight was his flexibility—when he realized our train departure on the last day was much earlier, he reworked our itinerary on the spot so we could still enjoy a full morning without any stress. Reliable, knowledgeable, and genuinely kind—we couldn't have asked for a better guide. Highly recommend!"

I think I was extremely fortunate to join this tour. If you want to experience the wonders of northern Yunnan, including trekking along Hutiaoxia (tiger leaping gorge), marvelous Shangrila temples, golden dawn of Meili mountain, this is the must-go trip. I have travelled Beijing, Shanghai, Xian, Luoyang, Dongbei region, Xiamen and Quanzhou, even Xinjiang, this was the best trip so far in China. I am also very grateful to the tour organizer for arranging very nice hotels with limited budget. I was able to communicate with the guide with my limited Chinese, so it is better to make sure you are accompanying with an English speaking guide or tour participants ahead of time. But I think if you have a wechat account, you will be able to communicate with the guide anyhow. Thank you Yang Shifu！

1) Shuttle Arrangement: The vehicle and travel time, as well as the pick-up and drop-off locations, were well arranged. 2) Itinerary Arrangement: The itinerary arrangement was clear and simple. When problems arose, the Klook team's guide and driver were able to respond and share information immediately. 3) Time Management: There was ample time for sightseeing and lunch, and the time management for shuttle buses, cable cars, and each attraction was clear. 4) Support Services: Water, oxygen cylinders, and warm clothing were prepared, eliminating any worries. 5) The Klook team's service staff were attentive and friendly, and worked diligently to arrange the details of the itinerary.

The driver was very kind and helpful. She gave great descriptions of where to go, despite the language barrier for myself and others in the group. Communication was clear via wechat which meant we were on time to see all attractions on the itinerary. She provided warm jackets so we were comfortable exploring in the mountains. Really enjoyed this tour and would recommend for anyone who wants to see Yulong Mountain!

Had a really smooth and well-coordinated trip 👏 Highly Recommended! From the start, 小舟 managed everything efficiently—clear itinerary details and even arranged hotel pickup for a small additional fee (60元), which made things more convenient. The day before the trip, the driver/guide 携手 followed up with very clear instructions. Pickup was punctual at 5:35am. We were especially impressed that the team secured early tickets to ascend Yulong Snow Mountain by 7:30am (up to 4,506m). We descended by 8:30am—the higher climb to 4,680m was closed due to heavy snow the day before, making conditions slippery and unsafe. Next stop was Blue Moon Valley—transfer was seamless, we arrived around 9:20am, spending about an hour. After that, lunch was provided (simple pork hotpot with rice and vegetables). It was decent, though there’s definitely room for improvement. We then headed to the Impression Lijiang at 1:30pm, which wrapped up the experience nicely before returning to the hotel around 3:30pm.

Wonderful experience with a thoughtful guide! The agency was accomodative and super helpful as well!

A must-visit when in Yunnan! In my opinion, joining a day trip like this is enough to explore Shangri-La and experience the Tibetan vibes. At Tiger Leaping Gorge (TLG), you can choose to take the stairs or an escalator for 70 RMB, and at Napahai, you can go horseback riding for 160 RMB, which includes a costume. Everything else is included in the day trip cost. Use promo code MELISAKLOOK for an 8% discount.

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.
