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!

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.

An extremely pleasant trip! Tour Guide: First of all, a huge shout-out to our driver-guide, Mr. Duan. As someone from a low-altitude area who frequently gets carsick, I didn't get motion-sick even once despite the countless mountain switchbacks. His driving was extremely smooth and gave us great peace of mind! Not only is his driving top-notch, but he is also very humorous and thoughtful. He anticipated many situations for us, and thanks to his advice, we didn't experience altitude sickness. Good physical health is an essential guarantee for an enjoyable trip! Highly, highly recommended! Accommodations: The value-for-money tour definitely delivered on its promise; every hotel was arranged very reasonably. My absolute favorite was Jianglv in Wunongding—it's the kind of place I would come back to stay at again and again. Itinerary: The entire process was very friendly for hiking beginners. It allowed us to experience the wonders of nature without being overly exhausting. For someone who has never been to Shangri-La, just a few days were enough to experience so much of its charm. If I had traveled on my own, I could never have had such a seamless experience. The planner and all the staff in the group chat were very attentive. Thumbs up endlessly! I will definitely choose KLOOK in the future to experience even more new journeys! I'm already planning to try some more advanced itineraries next time, haha 🤣 (The platform only allows 6 photos, which is far from enough to express everything. Can we please upgrade to 9 or 18 photos in the future?)

if you have time and havent experienced a Chinese cultural performance and hotpot, then consider this while at Lijiang. Within an hour, youget to enjoy food and watch some singing and dancing. the games beforehand were fun to play - you might win something! the location is a bit far from the old town..

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!

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.

What to know before visiting Lijiang

What to do in Lijiang year-round

Lijiang is best known for immersive Tours, lively Events & shows and hands-on Cultural experiences, with Attraction passes also available for short visits. Klook booking data shows demand peaks in April and is quieter around March, so the city's rhythm is strongly seasonal: spring draws the biggest crowds for sightseeing and festivals, while late-winter and some autumn months are calmer. Choose outdoor Tours and Cultural experiences for a seasonal feel, or book Events & shows to catch local performances when demand rises. Decide whether you want peak-season atmosphere or quieter streets — Klook booking data helps you time that choice.

When to visit and what to expect

April is the busiest month for Lijiang while March is typically the quietest, according to Klook booking data. Prices move through the year from a July high to April and May lows; the priciest month by median price is July and the cheapest is April, so crowds and costs diverge at times — April sees high demand in the demand series but sits at the lower end of the price range. For lower prices and smaller crowds aim for March or April; for peak-season energy and events plan for April or July. Pick low-cost months for budget travel or peak months for atmosphere.

Tips for travellers from the Philippines

Most travellers book experiences about two weeks out, while the earliest planners book around 32 days in advance, according to Klook booking data for the platform. That means you have some flexibility to book a few days before travel, but during the peak months named above it's wise to reserve earlier to secure popular Tours and Events & shows. Use Klook to compare Dates and find typical prices, and lock in bookings when you spot the times and prices you want. Book with enough lead time for peak-season must-dos.
