Things to do in Lijiang

Service very good and nothing to complaint. They will contact you earlier to arrange pick up location and explaint very well about the activity. Driver very good, punctual and helpful. Don't worry about communication because driver will guide you via we chat and bring to the point to take a bus, cable car and drop off location. They provide mineral water, oxygen bottle and comfortable transport. Very recommended for the services👍👍👍👍👍

This Shangri-La loop tour from Lijiang unfolds like a meticulously crafted Tibetan scroll, revealing the serene grandeur of snow-capped mountains, gorges, ancient towns, temples, and highland pastures, layer by layer. The leisurely pace of the first day in Shuhe Ancient Town sets a gentle prelude to the highland journey. The Tiger Leaping Gorge hike on the second day instantly elevates the trip to a climax—walking along the cliffside trails of Middle Tiger Leaping Gorge, with the Jinsha River roaring below, the power of nature is awe-inspiring. Then, standing on the Upper Tiger Leaping Gorge viewing platform, watching the river surge like golden scales, one cannot help but marvel at the magnificence of creation. Arriving at the Songtsam Linka Hotel in the evening, the fusion of Tibetan luxury and the secret realm of the snow-capped mountains is perfect, and the sunset under the prayer wheels of Dukezong Ancient City adds a sacred touch to the day. The golden roofs of Songtsam Monastery in the morning mist and the chanting of scriptures bring rare tranquility to the soul. On the way to Deqin, the Meili Lodge hotel guards the snow-capped peaks with an excellent view. Although we missed the "golden sunlight on the snow mountain" phenomenon, it left us wanting to come back. The White Horse Snow Mountain hike was a pleasant surprise; the primeval forest dyed with autumn colors and the majestic snow peaks created a visual feast, with every step taken amidst natural wonders. The Banyan Tree Benzi Lan hotel is like a secluded paradise on the Ancient Tea Horse Road, where the charm of an ancient post station and modern comfort are cleverly integrated. The shimmering autumn waters of Napa Lake and the colorful forests of Pudacuo National Park make people feel as if they are in a fairy tale world. And the Dala Ranch is the warmest chapter of the journey—the golden retrievers strolling among the golden haystacks and the lazy tabby cats by the fireplace instantly soften the vastness of the plateau. Finally, the time spent painting thangkas in Dukezong Ancient City is the best way to unwind after a long and dusty journey. Carrying the compassionately designed patterns painted by our own hands and the rich aroma of yak jerky, this journey comes to a satisfactory conclusion with the dual gifts of culture and local products. This is a dual pilgrimage of body and soul, with both the wild call of Tiger Leaping Gorge and the spiritual nourishment of Songtsam Monastery; we witnessed the aloofness of the snow mountains and gained the warmth of the pastures. The autumn colors and culture of Tibet have become the most intense colors in our memories. Finally, thank you to Master He for his steady driving skills and for assisting in taking care of my mother and me. It was the perfect ending to my mother's retirement trip.

Tour guide: When planning the trip, I inquired with several travel companies, specifically asking if they had female guides. Klook recommended Sister Mei to us, saying that customers who had been with her thought she was exceptionally good. So, after comparing several options, we embarked on a five-day, four-night journey with Sister Mei as our driver. Unexpectedly, Sister Mei turned out to be a fantastic guide – patient, meticulous, conscientious, and responsible. She took everyone's feelings into account and took care of us without us having to say much. Sister Mei thoughtfully prepared fruits, snacks, and local delicacies for us. She never rushed us, cared about whether we were warm enough, and demonstrated excellent driving skills on difficult roads. I knew choosing a female driver and female guide wouldn't be a mistake!

A Day Trip to Jade Dragon Snow Mountain My group tour to Jade Dragon Snow Mountain took a nice turn, thanks to a flexible plan. Our Grand Cableway ride was supposed to be in the morning, but it got rescheduled to the afternoon. Our guide quickly adjusted the itinerary—we visited Blue Moon Valley first, then the cableway. The valley’s turquoise water, like liquid jade, was breathtaking; we walked the boardwalk and laughed at the icy stream. By 2 PM, we took the cableway up. The snow-dusted peaks against the blue sky made the thin air feel worth it. We snapped photos and enjoyed the quiet grandeur. Our driver waited patiently whenever we lingered, and the customer service team had confirmed the change earlier, keeping everything smooth. Tired but happy by evening, the schedule shift only made the day better. Great service and stunning views—this trip will stay with me.

This show is absolutely incredible! You definitely have to go. Booking is very simple. Once confirmed, the tickets will be sent to you via WhatsApp. If you can, get the VIP ticket which offers the best seats at the top center. For this show, it's better to be up high to see all the details.

Solo traveling has a lot of limitations, so booking this tour was really great value for the money. Since there wasn't a tour guide, the driver and master were local Naxi people who took this group of a few people and introduced the scenery and customs of Lijiang and Shangri-La along the way. His driving skills were truly first-class, safe and stable 👍🏻. The itinerary was rich but not too tiring, with enough time for us to slowly acclimatize to the high altitude. I would join again next time I come to Yunnan 👍🏻.

This one-day tour to Shangri-La was absolutely fantastic! Our driver drove smoothly, planned the route perfectly, and was punctual and thoughtful throughout the trip—he even volunteered to share insights about the scenery and local culture along the way. The travel agency’s pre-trip communication was efficient and seamless, with a well-organized itinerary that never felt rushed. We fully experienced the grandeur of Tiger Leaping Gorge, the tranquility of Napa Lake, and the charm of Dukezong Ancient Town. The staff responded promptly to all our questions, making the entire journey stress-free and enjoyable. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Yunnan!

This trip to Shangri-La was planned in early July, to help my child relax before the start of the new school term and prepare for the academic challenges ahead. The itinerary was very well-organized and comprehensive, covering all of Shangri-La's famous attractions in just four days. A special shout-out to Mr. Ba Ge, our driver from Yunnan Youxiake, whose driving skills were exceptionally steady. He was also very enthusiastic and showed us the unique scenery of Yunnan. On the second day, my child felt unwell due to altitude sickness. Mr. Ba Ge not only provided us with a portable oxygen tank, but also went the extra mile by driving an additional 50 kilometers round trip to take us to the hotel so we could settle in, allowing my child to rest and recover in an oxygenated room. After we arrived home safely, Mr. Ba Ge even sent a message to check on my child's condition. These heartwarming acts of kindness were truly touching. We are extremely satisfied with the entire trip, especially with Mr. Ba Ge from Youxiake. A big thumbs up to him, and wishing him all the best!

The itinerary was well-organized and fulfilling. Starting from Lijiang, we were able to smoothly complete the trip to Deqin and Yubeng in five days. Our guide and driver, Baima, was experienced and attentive, providing us with advance notice of important information. The accommodations were conveniently located and well-equipped, allowing my son and I to successfully complete the trip. Thank you!
