LJ01: 3 Days Lijiang Private Tour

Our guide will expect you outside the Arrival Hall at Lijiang Airport and transfer you to the hotel. After a short rest, you will start a memorable China old town tour from the Square Street of Lijiang Ancient Town. As the center of the town, the Square Street is a 6-Mu (about 1 acre) center square where four main streets radiating to four directions are connected with each other by many narrow lanes. While walking through the old town, you will immediately get overwhelmed by small bridges, swift streams, cobbled streets and grey tiled roofs of the local houses. You can also see many local Naxi people wearing traditional costumes and headgears.

Meals: Lunch

In the morning, you will first enjoy the beautiful landscape at the Baishui River(White Water River). It flows at the foot of the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain which is the largest snow mountain in the Northern Hemisphere. The riverbed is made up of white marble and lime stones and the river looks white, hence the name of White River (Baishui). Then proceed to the Dry Sea (Ganhaizi). Situated at the eastern foot of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, the Dry Sea has been a highland glacial lake before the 1940s, but the water gradually dried up and turned into a vast meadow. Standing on the meadow, you can get a panorama of the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. 

From the Dry Sea, you will take a cable car to the Spruce Plateau and overlook the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, which is quite a different view from the one you get at the Dry Sea. We will transfer you to Baisha Village where you will visit a local Naxi family to get a close touch to the daily life of Naxi Minority. You will also pay a visit to the Baisha Murals to see the colorful murals with 600 years of history. 

Meals: Western buffet breakfast, Lunch

Today your private Lijiang tour starts from the Black Dragon Pool Park (Jade Spring Park). It is a beautiful and quiet park, where you can have an excellent view to see Jade Dragon Snow Mountain in the reflection of the pool. If you get here earlier, you can watch the local people doing Tai Chi and also performing their traditional dances. Then we turn to the nearby folklore Dongba Culture Museum, a very good introduction to the fascinating Dongba culture in terms of history, pictographic language, music, religion, etc. 

After that, we will see you off at the airport for your outbound flight. We hope our service gives you a pleasant Lijiang Tour!
