Passeios por Tiger Leaping Gorge

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 horse riding for 160 RMB, which includes a costume. All other costs are included in the day trip fee. Use promo code MELISAKLOOK for an 8% discount.

Cuando decidí visitar China por primera vez, como mujer que viajaba sola y no hablaba mandarín, no sabía qué esperar de la experiencia. Pero me complace informar que todo sobre la experiencia fue increíble. Desde el momento en que hice la reserva en Klook hasta el momento en que me dejaron para mi vuelo de regreso, todo fue maravillosamente organizado y gestionado por la compañía de viajes. Fue muy fácil contactar a la gente de la compañía y hacer preguntas en cualquier momento (literalmente 24/7) usando WeChat. El tamaño reducido del grupo fue excelente. Significó tener algo de compañía sin sentirse abrumado por la multitud y el ajetreo de un grupo más grande, algo típico de las compañías más grandes. El conductor fue excelente en su trabajo e incluso nos dio buena información en el camino y nos tomó excelentes fotos. El itinerario está bien organizado: pasamos un tiempo en altitudes más bajas como Lijiang y Dali antes de dirigirnos a lugares como Shangri-La, lo que nos ayudó a aclimatarnos. La compañía proporciona un pañuelo facial (protección UV), una almohada de viaje inflable y una lata de oxígeno para hacer el viaje más cómodo. En general, fue una experiencia excelente y la recomiendo de todo corazón.

Would recommend this tour if one requires a convenient and worry-free tour to see the beautiful sights between Lijiang and Shangri-La! Master Guo Guo was determined to help us catch the Meili snow mountain views, letting us off at a viewpoint on day 1 to catch it and recommending places near our hotel for us to catch it again, with sunrise, on day 2.

My friend and I were very satisfied with the itinerary arrangements; it was a great experience. When a friend was unable to join at the last minute, the company upgraded us from a group tour to a private tour and arranged a 5-seater car for transfers. Lunch was also excellent, with delicious home-style dishes, though the portions were a bit too large, leading to some waste.

The driver was very kind, and the explanation was quite informative. While the trekking course might feel challenging, the experience, harmonized with the natural scenery, was incredibly meaningful. I thought lunch would be simple, but it was quite sufficient with bread, fruit, and more.

The guide was very good, and the scenery was beautiful. My travel companions were all very considerate, and getting out to meet different people really broadened my horizons. The hotel was particularly excellent, though I might have experienced some altitude sickness, so I didn't sleep very well the first two nights. Everything else was great! 👍

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 Shangri-La temples, and the golden dawn of Meili Mountain, this is a must-go trip. I have traveled to Beijing, Shanghai, Xi'an, Luoyang, the Northeast region, Xiamen, Quanzhou, and even Xinjiang, but this was the best trip so far in China. I am also very grateful to the tour organizer for arranging very nice hotels within a limited budget. I was able to communicate with the guide with my limited Chinese, so it's better to make sure you are accompanied by 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 anyway. Thank you, Yang Shifu!

Tiger Leaping Gorge, Shangri-La, and Songzanlin Monastery were all great. Especially impressive was the ethnic dance and performance we watched while having lunch after the Dukezong and Bukezong tour.
