- Old Town of Lijiang - China - An English-speaking guide will greet you in the lobby of your Lijiang hotel or at Lijiang Railway Station at your chosen time. This tour is flexible and can be tailored to your interests, so feel free to discuss your preferences with your guide upon meeting. Typically, the first stop is the Old Town of Lijiang.
The Old Town of Lijiang is a beautifully preserved ancient city rich in ethnic minority culture. Established in the late Song Dynasty (960 - 1279), it boasts a history spanning over 800 years. The town’s architecture is a unique blend of Han, Bai, and Tibetan influences, reflecting the multicultural heritage and development of the Naxi ethnic minority.
- Museum of Naxi Dongba Culture - As you explore the old town with your guide, you’ll visit the Museum of Naxi Dongba Culture. This museum is dedicated to the history of the Naxi people, their pictographic language, and the animist Dongba religion. Discover the museum’s exhibits and gain insights into Naxi culture and art.
- Mufu Palace - Next, visit the Mufu Palace. The Mu Family, rulers of the Naxi minority, governed Lijiang from the Yuan Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, spanning 470 years and 22 generations. The current Mufu Palace exemplifies the ancient central Chinese architectural style of the Ming Dynasty, while also retaining elements from the Tang and Song Dynasties. Inside, the details reflect the cultural traits of the Bai and Naxi groups. Beyond its architectural significance, the palace is also a remarkable botanical museum with ancient trees and unique plants. The garden combines imperial and Suzhou styles. Explore the palace and learn about its history and stories from your guide.
- Lijiang Lion Rock - After enjoying lunch at a local restaurant, proceed to Lion Hill Park. From a distance, Lion Mountain resembles a sleeping lion, offering a picturesque view.
- Wangu Pavilion - Ascend to the mountaintop and visit the Wangu Pavilion, a five-story wooden structure with five elegant eaves. This tower is considered the top domed-shaped structure in China. Capture the panoramic views of the surrounding areas, including Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, the Old Town, and Naxi minority villages.
- Wenchang Palace - Continue to Wenchang Palace, originally built in 1725, which served as a venue for exams and folk lectures during the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911). Explore the area and then visit the Twin-Stone Garden, where you can see a large waterwheel and bas-relief commemorating Naxi civilization.
- Black Dragon Pond Park - The final stop is Black Dragon Pond Park. Follow your guide to explore ancient monuments such as Longshen Temple, Deyue Pavilion, Suocui Bridge, and Hanyue Stage. Enjoy the stunning view of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain from the park.
