Detailed Itinerary


D1


(Flight Shanghai to Dali 12:55-16:40)

Pickup and transfer to hotel in Dali ancient town. Free time to walk around and explore the town.

Dali ancient town can be dated back to the year 1382 during the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) and has been among the top listed historical cities of China since 1982. With Erhai Lake to the east, and Cangshan Mountain to the west, its grand city wall, traditional Bai ethnic minority folk houses, and marvelous scenery have been attracting many visitors. 




D2


Cycle from Dali old town to Erhai lake.

In the afternoon head for Xizhou old town to fully appreciate Bai-style traditional architectural courtyards, taste their fragrant Three-Course Tea, and explore their distinctive culture. Xizhou is our home. This little village has been called 'a living art museum' due to its unusual concentration of nationally protected heritage sites, mostly including architecture that spans the Ming Dynasty (1368 – 1644) until the creation of New China in 1949 but also includes centuries-old trees, parks, and wildlife preserves.



Strolling through the morning market and main walking street will reveal a vibrant town with a healthy mix of traditional Bai culture and modern influence from Eastern China and abroad. It is the balance of development and forward-thinking that exists in Xizhou that makes it special.



D3


In the morning drive to Shangri-la

Visit the Ganden Sumtseling Monastery, the largest Tibetan monastery in Yunnan. Songzanlin Monastery has another alias - 'the little Potala Palace ', so named because the whole monastery is in the traditional style with a mysterious atmosphere. 

Later, drive to the Napa Lake - "the lake beside the forest", a beautiful nature reserve. 

Then we will explore Dukezong Old Town by climbing up to the top of Guishan Hill (or Tortoise Hill) to have a panoramic view of the old town and Shangri-La County and join in the tourists to turn the largest Prayer Wheel in the world.

In the morning, drive to Qiaotou Town (Tiger Leaping Gorge Town). You will start the trekking of Tiger Leaping Gorge, as one of the world's four great gorges, is honored as one of the deepest and most marvelous gorges with 3900 meters in depth. Let's trek in the Tiger Leaping Gorge!



Start the trekking from the Qiaotou Primary School, after half an hour, arrive in Changsheng Village. Arrive in Zhong Nuoyu Village at noon, and have lunch at Naxi Family guesthouse. After lunch, you will start the most difficult part trekking to the 28 Zigzag Bends trail and reach the top peak at the elevation of 2670m.

You will arrive at Tea & Horse Guesthouse to finish today's trekking. This is basically the halfway point of the journey.

Another option: if you are in good physical condition, you can trek further. You will firstly trek from Tina's Guesthouse down to Teacher Zhang's Guesthouse, where you can have a nice view of the middle gorge that looks like a big gate. It is quite a steep trail from Teacher Zhang's Guesthouse down to the Middle Rapids. Then you will trek from Thin Strip of Sky (Or: Ray of Sunshine)to Walnut Grove Garden. Then drive to Lijiang.
