Travel Itinerary

Welcome to Lijiang! Our guide will greet you at the arrival hall and transfer you to the hotel to assist you with check-in and make your stay comfortable.

Meet your private guide and enjoy a pleasant journey to the picturesque Yuhu Village.
Wander through Yuhu Village and visit the Rock House where Joseph Rock lived for 27 years and immerse yourself in his fascinating adventures.
From Yuhu, hike to Sanxi River, which originates from the snow-capped mountains. Explore the Ba River, known as the “Frog Pond”, and ascend the vast meadows and a dry stream at Ganheba. Admire the milky appearance of the Milk River and the panoramic view of the snow-capped mountains. End the hike at the Snow Sea, which transforms from a frozen appearance to vibrant blue waters during the rainy season.
The hike is approximately 12.5 km (7.7 mi) with an ascent of 600 m (2,000 ft) and usually takes around 5 1/2 hours.
Return to your hotel in the charming Lijiang Old Town at the end of the tour.

Relax and rejuvenate with local cuisine in a picturesque setting.
Take the new highway to Shangri-La where you will be amazed by the beauty and yet another Chinese engineering marvel.

Explore Songzanlin, the largest Tibetan Buddhist temple in Yunnan. Dive deep into the heart of local Tibetan beliefs in a pristine environment and awe-inspiring atmosphere.
Climb the mountain behind the Lama Temple to enjoy unique views and a chance to meet locals performing ceremonies. Learn about the Wesang ceremony at the pagoda, where you can tie prayer flags and pray to Songzanlin Temple.
Transfer to Hamugu on the east side of Napahai and meet up with your bikes.
Embark on a 1.5-hour cycling tour through the scenic Napahai and experience a variety of landscapes. The initial section is flat and easy, while the second section is more challenging.

Signage improvement

Whenever I want to exit the metro into a mall, there is no signage to tell me which exit I should use. All exitspoint to above ground road name. Its just not one city, it’s every city in China the metro signage is like that. For a foreigner, I just want to get to the mall. Also there is no big map at the station indicating the exit goes to where. I hope metro stations all over China especially major cities can improve on the metro exit signage.

Signage improvement

Whenever I want to exit the metro into a mall, there is no signage to tell me which exit I should use. All exitspoint to above ground road name. Its just not one city, it’s every city in China the metro signage is like that. For a foreigner, I just want to get to the mall. Also there is no big map at the station indicating the exit goes to where. I hope metro stations all over China especially major cities can improve on the metro exit signage.

Signage improvement

Whenever I want to exit the metro into a mall, there is no signage to tell me which exit I should use. All exitspoint to above ground road name. Its just not one city, it’s every city in China the metro signage is like that. For a foreigner, I just want to get to the mall. Also there is no big map at the station indicating the exit goes to where. I hope metro stations all over China especially major cities can improve on the metro exit signage.
