3 Days Lijiang Private Tour

When you arrive in Lijiang today, your guide and driver will wait for you in the arrival hall of the airport and then transfer you to the hotel for check-in.

After a short rest, your memorable China old town tour will start from the Square Street of Lijiang Ancient Town. The Square Street, as the center of economic and cultural exchange of Lijiang and the most important hub on the Ancient Tea Horse Road, is a 6-Mu (about 1 acre) center square with four main streets radiating to four directions which are connected with each other by many narrow lanes. While walking through the old town, you will immediately get overwhelmed by the small bridges, swift streams, cobbled streets and grey tiled roofs of the local houses. You will also see many local Naxi people wearing traditional costumes and headgears here.

Meals: Lunch

In the morning, you will first enjoy the beautiful landscape of 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 of white marble and lime stones and the river looks white, hence the name of the White River (Baishui). Then we will proceed to the Dry Sea (Ganhaizi). Situated at the eastern foot of the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, the Dry Sea was 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 will give you a quite different visual enjoyment from the one you get at the Dry Sea. Afterwards, we will transfer you to the Baisha Village where you will visit a local Naxi family to get a close touch to their daily life. You will also pay a visit to the Baisha Murals to see the colorful murals with over 600 years' history. 

Meals: Western buffet breakfast, Lunch

Today your private Lijiang tour will start from the Black Dragon Pool Park (Jade Spring Park). It is a beautiful and quiet park, where you can have an excellent view of the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain in the reflection of the pool. If arriving early, you can have a chance to watch the local people practising Tai Chi and performing their traditional dances. Then we will turn to the nearby folklore Dongba Culture Museum, which will give you 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 or the railway station for your onward destination. We sincerely hope our service has ensured you a pleasant Lijiang Tour!
