The experience
A private journey with time to look closer.
This two-day private journey balances Lijiang's historic towns with the open landscapes beneath Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. We explore Baisha, Shuhe and Lijiang Old Town at a conversational pace, then devote the second day to the mountain area and Yuhu Village, home to stone houses, Naxi culture and the story of explorer Joseph Rock.
Ideal forFirst-time visitors who want Lijiang's cultural highlights and mountain scenery without rushing through both in one day.
