Welcome to Lijiang, Yunnan Province, where your guide and driver will lead you in a comfortable, smoke-free and fresh air-conditioned private car directly to your hotel in the ancient city center.
After a short rest, you will depart for Yuhu Village, a peaceful village located at the foot of Yulong Snow Mountain. Stepping into this Naxi style land, you will see unique stone houses, meet Naxi women in traditional costumes and playful children. You are free to stroll around the village and feel the rare tranquility and harmony.
You will then proceed to the home of Joseph Rock. This Austrian-American botanist spent 27 years in Yuhu Village and conducted in-depth research on the Naxi ethnic people. When you enter his former residence, it is as if you can hear his voice communicating with the Naxi ethnic people and feel his love for this land.
Next, you will head to the Dongba Culture Museum. There is a collection of more than 10,000 Dongba cultural relics. Strolling through it, you will gain a deeper understanding of the history and culture of the Naxi ethnic people and feel the ancient and unique charm.
Afterwards, you can walk to Heilong Pool Park to enjoy the charming natural scenery. If the weather is clear, you can also visit an excellent viewpoint overlooking the snow-capped Yulong Snow Mountain to make unforgettable memories.
At nightfall, you will return to Lijiang Ancient Town. Here you can stroll through the old alleyways around the Sifang Street Square and soak up the historical atmosphere. If you want, you can join the local Naxi people and tourists to dance joyfully and release your inner passion.
If you harbor a strong interest in the deep history and culture of Lijiang Ancient Town, a visit to Mufu Palace is highly recommended. It is a site full of history and allows you to have a deeper understanding of the cultural charm of the Naxi ethnic people. Please note that the visit to Mufu Palace is at your own expense.
