What you can expect

Black Dragon Pool Park: Start your day with a tranquil walk around the scenic Black Dragon Pool. From here, enjoy a stunning reflection of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain on the water. The park also features Dongba culture exhibits and traditional pavilions — a perfect introduction to Lijiang.

Shuhe Ancient Town: Explore the peaceful and less commercialized ancient town of Shuhe. Once a key stop along the Tea Horse Road, Shuhe preserves Naxi traditions, cobbled lanes, and historic architecture. A quiet charm that contrasts the bustle of Lijiang Old Town.

Dongba Paper-Making Workshop: Step into a quiet courtyard studio where the centuries-old art of Dongba papermaking comes alive. Guided by a skilled artisan from the Naxi minority, you’ll learn about the sacred role of Dongba paper in religious rituals and traditional scripts. Then, get hands-on as you craft your own sheet of paper using bark fibres from local plants. The process is meditative and deeply rooted in nature and heritage. Personalise your creation with simple Dongba symbols — a meaningful and creative souvenir you’ll take home with pride.

Lijiang Old Town Walk: Stroll through Lijiang Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Wander the charming alleys, pass flowing canals, and visit highlights like Sifang Street and the exterior of the former Mu Residence. Feel the heartbeat of Naxi daily life.

Lion Hill Scenic Viewpoint: Climb up Lion Hill for a panoramic view over Lijiang Old Town and the surrounding mountains. The view is especially magical in the golden hours of late afternoon.
