Immerse Yourself in the Culture of Yunnan

Majestic nature, ancient cultures and UNESCO-protected sites await as you travel to Lijiang and Shangri-La in Yunnan, China.

About Your Trip

From Lijiang to Shangri-La and back, experience the magnificent Yunnan landscape full of mountains, gorges, lakes and glaciers. The region is home to more than 25 ethnic minorities, including the ancient Naxi peoples. You’ll take in a Naxi cultural performance at Jade Dragon Snow Mountain (if weather permits), go on a horse-riding tour through the countryside and see the remains of an academy and a deer farm.

Back on the road, you’re on the way to Shangri-La when you see First Bend of the Yangtze River, an incredible sight of this mighty river from an elevation of approximately 6,500 feet (2,000 meters). Get a real sense of the variety in Yunnan culture at a village where the Tibetan way of life is celebrated.

From your hotel in Shangri-La, set off for a day of wonderment and excitement, starting with a heart-pounding cable-car ride on Shika Snow Mountain as you soar over mountains, lakes, forests and villages far below. Take it down a notch at a pottery class followed by a visit to a serene monastery. After dinner, enjoy in a night tour of old town of Zhongdian highlighted by one of the world’s largest prayer wheels.

After a day of leisure, head back to Lijiang. Along the way, stop at Tiger Leaping Gorge to admire its churning waters and Old Town of Lijiang, a UNESCO World Heritage site, which dates from the 12th century. Pedestrian Square Street, in the heart of the town, is lined with well-preserved traditional houses and shops.

What we love:

• “Lost Horizon,” a 1939 novel by James Hilton, explored the possibility of perpetual youth in the fictional land of Shangri-La high in the Tibetan mountains.
• Jade Dragon Snow Mountain is home to a quarter of China’s plant life.
• Nestled in a valley beside mountains and a river, Old Town of Lijiang became the central home of the Naxi people.
