Reach out to them directly to secure your spot and tailor the itinerary to your preferences. With professional English-speaking guides, you'll enjoy an immersive travel experience.

What to Expect on Your 5-Day Tour

Expect a well-rounded exploration of Yunnan's highlights. Your journey begins in Dali Ancient Town, moving through Erhai S Bay, Xizhou Ancient Town, and the iconic Dali Three Pagodas. Next, you'll venture to the sacred Lugu Lake, visiting Lover's Beach and Goddess Bay. The tour culminates with the awe-inspiring Jade Dragon Snow Mountain and Blue Moon Valley in Lijiang, where you'll also create your own Tibetan Thangka.

Accommodations are in 4-star hotels or luxurious guesthouses, complemented by local Bai and Naxi cuisine. All attraction entrance tickets are included, along with private transportation and daily essentials like bottled water.

Practical Tips for a Smooth Journey

To maximize your experience, pack for varying climates. The itinerary covers high-altitude locations, so layering is key. Oxygen bottles are provided, but consider bringing additional items for comfort, like personal snacks and a camera to capture the scenery.

Be prepared for some additional expenses, such as cable car rides at Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. While tipping the guide and driver is voluntary, it's appreciated, especially given the personalized service.

Getting There and Best Time to Visit

While airfare and train tickets to Dali or Lijiang aren't included, HuaHuo Travel provides airport and hotel transfers to kickstart your tour seamlessly. The best time to experience Yunnan's natural beauty is during spring (March to May) or autumn (September to November), when the weather is pleasant and landscapes are vibrant.
