Lijiang Shangri-La Tours: What to See & Explore in Lijiang & Shangri-La

Lijiang Tours (2-3 Days): Immerse yourself in the laid-back charm of Lijiang Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Explore the unique Naxi culture, with its fascinating pictographic script (Dongba) and matriarchal traditions. Visit Jade Dragon Snow Mountain and hike the awe-inspiring Tiger Leaping Gorge, one of the deepest in the world.
icon
Shangri-La Tours (1-2 Days): Venture into the mystical realm of Shangri-La. Discover the majestic Songzanlin Monastery, the largest Tibetan monastery in Yunnan. Witness the vibrant traditions of the Tibetan people. Hike through breathtaking scenery of Pudacuo National Park or embark on a pilgrimage to the sacred Meili Snow Mountain.

How to Plan Lijiang Shangri-La Tours in Yunnan?

For those planning Lijiang Shangri-La tours, we recommend spending 5 to 8 days in the region. It is more convenient to arrive in Lijiang first, as it offers more flights and high-speed train connections. In Lijiang, explore its old towns, snow-capped mountains, and immerse yourself in Naxi culture. On the way to Shangri-La, don't miss the opportunity to view Tiger Leaping Gorge. In Shangri-La, visit its old towns, monasteries, and lakes for a unique experience.

If you wish to add more depth to your Lijiang Shangri-La tour, consider including Lugu Lake, Tiger Leaping Gorge hike, and Meili Snow Mountain in your itinerary. Alternatively, you can extend your tour to include Kunming, Dali, Yuanyang Rice Terraces, and Dongchuan Red Land. Whether your interests lie in ethnic culture, hiking, photography, adventure, ancient town, or food, we offer tours at the best prices to cater to your preferences.

15D14N Yunnan Trip - a fabulous experience!

We had an amazing trip and on behalf of all my trip mates, I would like to thank Hannah from Asia Odyssey sincerely for going through a lengthy liaison with me before the trip to plan a comprehensive itinerary. This was also carried out very smoothly when we were in Yunnan, thanks to our two guides Frank & Nancy - they’re amazing guides who are professional and very knowledgeable, helping us take plenty of great pictures and videos too. Frank was always patient with us, trying his best to attend to all our needs. Nancy was always thinking several steps ahead of us, recommending us special places with superb food for us to try and arranging for the food to be prepared and cooked so it would all be ready just as we reached so as to save time. Our driver 何师傅 was fabulous as well, always helping us with our luggage and offering friendly snippets of advice. We really appreciated how he drove our luggage all the way from Kunming to Dali and then from Lijiang all the way back to Kunming - this saved us A LOT of trouble and time lugging our huge suitcases on and off the train. A huge thank you to whoever from the company who contributed to this arrangement too
