Detailed Itinerary

The journey, in full

Meet your private guide in the lobby of your downtown Lijiang hotel, then head directly to Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, which is about a one-hour drive away. Sit back and enjoy the breathtaking scenery along the way. Jade Dragon Snow Mountain consists of 13 peaks and is the southernmost glacier in the Northern Hemisphere. When viewed from Lijiang Old Town, the snow-covered mountain shrouded in fog resembles a jade dragon resting in the clouds, hence its name. Your tour guide will provide you with information about the mountain and share its legendary stories. After exploring the mountain, enjoy a delicious lunch at a local restaurant before attending the Lijiang Impressions Show. This unique show takes place during the day, with Jade Dragon Snow Mountain serving as a stunning backdrop. Over 100 horses and 500 non-professional actors from 16 local villages and over 10 ethnic minorities come together to showcase their culture, history, and customs through captivating performances. Next, visit the Old Town of Lijiang, a well-preserved ancient city with a rich cultural heritage. Built-in the late Song Dynasty over 800 years ago, the town reflects a blend of multinational influences, incorporating architectural elements from the Han, Bai, and Tibet cultures into a distinctive Naxi style. After the tour concludes, you will be transferred back to your hotel in Lijiang, ending a day filled with unforgettable experiences and cultural discoveries.
