[Lijiang Travel Guide]

Lijiang Old Town is actually composed of three ancient towns. The first is [Dayan Ancient Town], with its small bridges and flowing water, built against Lion Mountain and facing Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. It is hailed as a "World Heritage Site." Famous attractions within the town include Sifang Street, Mu's Residence, Yuhe Square, and Wangu Tower. It's about a 3-5km walk from the hotel.

The second is [Shuhe Ancient Town], a well-preserved important market town on the Ancient Tea Horse Road with over 1300 years of history. It's famous for its rustic architecture, clear springs, and profound cultural heritage. Core scenic spots include Sifang Street, Qinglong Bridge, Feihua Chushui (Flying Flowers Touching Water), and Jiuding Longtan (Nine Dragon Pool). It's about a 7km taxi ride from the hotel.

The third is [Baisha Ancient Town], a newly popular tourist destination in Lijiang. It was the earliest political and cultural center of the Naxi people and the closest ancient town to Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. It's about a 10km taxi ride from the hotel. The air in the ancient town is filled with the aroma of coffee.

Day 2 Lijiang → Tiger Leaping Gorge → Haba Village → Baishuitai → Dukezong Ancient Town → Shangri-La

▷Accommodation: Comfortable hotel in Shangri-La

▷Meals: Breakfast included; Lunch/Dinner: On your own (AA system)

▷Driving distance: 258km; Travel time: 4 hours

After breakfast, depart from Lijiang and arrive at Tiger Leaping Gorge Town in about 1.5 hours. Then, enter the Tiger Leaping Gorge scenic area for sightseeing. The Jinsha River, nestled between Haba Snow Mountain and Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, crashes against the gorge, creating surging waves. The roaring river sounds like a fierce tiger. We choose the most magnificent section, the Upper Tiger Leaping Gorge, which is easier and safer than other sections of the gorge, yet its grandeur and power are no less impressive.

After visiting Tiger Leaping Gorge, we will travel along the tourist loop, passing through Middle Tiger Leaping Gorge and Haba Village before reaching Haba Snow Mountain. We will then arrive at Baishuitai, where we will have lunch at a local farmhouse restaurant (cost shared equally). After lunch, we will travel to Baishuitai, the birthplace of Naxi Dongba culture, also known as the "Fairy's Remains Field," China's largest travertine terrace, often called the Chinese version of Pamukkale. After visiting Baishuitai, we will travel along the eastern tourist loop to Shangri-La city.

In the evening, you are free to visit Dukezong Ancient Town, learn about the Long March Red Army Museum, and spin the world's largest prayer wheel (21 meters high and 6 meters in diameter), which holds the Guinness World Record, bringing you and your family peace and good fortune (Tashi Delek), which means auspiciousness and good luck in Tibetan.

▷Accommodation: Comfortable Tibetan-style Hotel in Feilai Temple

▷Meals: Breakfast included; Lunch/Dinner: On your own (AA system)

▷Driving distance: 178km ▷Driving time: 3.5h

After breakfast, depart for the Ganden Sumtseling Monastery scenic area. We will take the park's eco-friendly bus to Lhamo Yangcuo Lake, hike around the lake, and then enter the monastery for sightseeing. Built in 1679 AD, Ganden Sumtseling Monastery, also known as "Yunnan's First Monastery," is the largest Tibetan Buddhist monastery in Yunnan Province and holds a pivotal position in the entire Tibetan region. Because its exterior layout resembles the Potala Palace, it is also known as "Little Potala Palace."

Afterwards, we will travel along National Highway 214, passing through Nixi and Benzilan Town. We can have lunch in either Nixi or Benzilan Town. After lunch, we will continue along National Highway 214 (the Yunnan-Tibet Highway) into the Jinsha River Moon Bay in Meili Snow Mountain National Park. The Jinsha River encounters a perfectly rounded, pyramid-shaped mountain peak, causing the golden river to flow around the peak in a classic inverted "Ω" shape – the famous Great Bend of the Jinsha River often depicted in photographs. After visiting Moon Bay, we will enter the heart of the Baimang Snow Mountain area, passing through a tunnel and arriving at Feilai Temple around evening in Deqin County. We will then check into our hotel.

At this point, Meili Snow Mountain, also known as "Kawa Karpo," will be right in front of you. This is the perfect time to photograph the sunset over Meili Snow Mountain, a breathtaking spectacle of magnificent light. Feel free to unleash your creativity and capture this breathtaking scenery!

▷Meals: On your own (AA system)

▷Driving distance: 340km ▷Driving time: 5 hours

In the morning, head to the scenic area's viewing platform to witness the "Golden Sunrise" on Meili Snow Mountain. As the first rays of sunlight bathe the main peak of Meili Snow Mountain, Kawagebo, in gold, the dazzling golden hue stirs the heart and leaves everyone deeply moved. The Golden Sunrise on the Mountain symbolizes the purity and blessings in the hearts of the Tibetan people, as the sacred light of the sun shines upon the summit of Kawagebo.

After enjoying the sunrise over the snow-capped mountains, have breakfast at your own expense and drive through Deqin County, then cross the Baima Snow Mountain to reach the pass at an altitude of 4292 meters. From this vantage point, you'll have a panoramic view of the breathtaking scenery. Afterwards, pass through Benzilan and arrive at Napa Lake in the Yila Grassland. For lunch, we can find a local farmhouse to sample authentic Tibetan cuisine while enjoying the beautiful scenery of the Yila Grassland and Napa Lake.

After lunch, continue along the Yila Grassland tourist loop to admire the Tibetan grassland scenery. Then, return to Lijiang via the Lijiang-Shangri-La Expressway, arriving in Lijiang around evening and checking into your hotel for rest. That evening, your travel concierge will inform you of the departure time to Dali the next day before 9 PM; please keep your phone accessible. In the evening, you can stroll through the ancient city and enjoy its enchanting nighttime scenery.

随后我们开启环游洱海之旅，沿洱海环海公路途经海东理想邦，一路上洱海风光无限，我们在欢歌笑语中抵达大理古城，自由漫步古城的青石板道上，感受经过千年洗礼依旧繁华的【古城楼】、【五华楼】、【洋人街】。

After exploring the ancient city, follow the West Ring Road of Erhai Lake to the ecological corridor to the popular S-shaped bay for stunning photos. You can also stroll along the ecological corridor and enjoy the breathtaking scenery of Erhai Lake – a truly unforgettable experience. Here, the pristine blue sky and crystal-clear Erhai Lake offer a romantic escape without needing to visit the Aegean Sea.

Afterwards, continue along the West Ring Road to Xizhou Ancient Town. Explore the idyllic scenery of Xizhou, take photos at the corner tower, and leisurely stroll through the ancient town. In the afternoon, return to Lijiang (approximately a 2-hour drive), arriving back at your hotel around 6 PM.
