Lijiang, in northwest Yunnan, is home to the UNESCO-listed Old Town of Lijiang, the Naxi people's 800-year-old water-town, and the majestic Jade Dragon Snow Mountain (5,596m). A private car with driver is the best way to explore Lijiang's scattered highlights — from the Old Town's cobblestone lanes to the alpine meadows of Blue Moon Valley, the dramatic Tiger Leaping Gorge, and the shores of Lugu Lake. Most attractions are 30 minutes to 2 hours from the city, making a private vehicle far more convenient than public transport.
UNESCO World Heritage Site with 800-year-old Naxi architecture, winding canals, and stone bridges. Explore Sifang Street, Mu's Residence, and climb Wangu Tower for panoramic views. Best in the early morning and evening when it lights up.
China's southernmost snow mountain, peak at 5,596m. Take the cable car to 4,506m (or hike to 4,680m), visit the Glacier Park, and watch the "Impression Lijiang" outdoor show. 30km north, 45min drive. Full day.
Stunning turquoise-blue glacial river valley at the foot of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. Four terraced lakes with crystal-clear water. Often combined with the mountain visit. The boardwalk loop takes 1-2 hours.
Quieter alternatives to Lijiang Old Town. Shuhe has well-preserved Naxi courtyards and the Longquan Spring. Baisha is famous for its 600-year-old Baisha Murals and the Dr. Ho's clinic. 8km and 15km north respectively.
One of the world's deepest gorges (3,900m from river to peak). The Upper Gorge has the famous Tiger Leaping Stone. 90km from Lijiang (2hr drive). Day trip possible; full 2-day trek for serious hikers.
