7-Day Lijiang, Lugu Lake, and Shangri-La Tour
7 Days · 6 NightsShangri-La → LijiangMax 8 people
Overview
This product is a carefully designed 7-day in-depth tour itinerary connecting Lijiang, Lugu Lake, and Shangri-La. Starting from the cultural atmosphere of Lijiang Ancient Town, to the magnificent scenery of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, then to the unique charm of Mosuo culture at Lugu Lake, and finally arriving in Shangri-La to experience the sacredness and tranquility of the Tibetan region. The itinerary not only includes the most iconic natural landscapes of northwestern Yunnan, such as Blue Moon Valley, Tiger Leaping Gorge, and Pudacuo National Park, but also emphasizes cultural immersion, arranging activities like intangible cultural heritage experiences in Shuhe Ancient Town, Mosuo bonfire parties, Tibetan Tusi banquets, and hands-on Thangka painting. We chose this route because it allows you to experience Yunnan's natural diversity (from subtropical to plateau) and ethnic cultural diversity (Naxi, Mosuo, Tibetan) to the fullest extent within a limited time. This itinerary is suitable for travelers who love natural scenery, have a strong interest in ethnic minority cultures, and are in good physical condition. It is an unforgettable journey that combines challenge and enjoyment.
