WOW MOMENT OF THE ITINERARY
Day 1: First Encounter with Lijiang · A Gentle Prelude to TimeAs the plane touches down under Lijiang's sky, the journey begins with a leisurely gathering. The four-star garden hotel where you stay may hold the hidden poetry of a Naxi courtyard; opening the window, you'll see the curling smoke of the ancient town. After a short rest, stroll along the stone paths of Lijiang Ancient Town, letting the light and shadow of green tiles and white walls flow over your shoulders — this is an unhurried first meeting, laying a gentle groundwork for the upcoming dream of western Yunnan. |

Day 2: Heading to Shangri-La · The First Ray of Light in the Secret LandThe bus carries anticipation towards Shangri-La, and the scenery outside the window gradually changes from pastoral fields to the vastness of the plateau. Pudacuo National Park is the first feast of this trip. The lake surrounded by mountains is like a sapphire inlaid on the meadow, and the loop-line vehicle crushes the morning dew, taking you into the core of the "Three Parallel Rivers" secret land. The Dukezong Ancient Town in the twilight is even more mysterious. Turn the world's largest prayer wheel, let your fingertips be stained with the temperature of the six-syllable mantra, and the starry sky at night will spread out the purest canvas of the Tibetan region for you. |
Day 3: Faith and Poetry in Shangri-LaIn the early morning, Songzanlin Monastery wakes up in the mist. The environmental protection vehicle takes you through the barley fields, and the group of temples with red walls and golden roofs is like the arrival of a Buddhist kingdom. The sound of chanting in the Grand Sutra Hall interweaves with the light of butter lamps, making the power of faith tangible at this moment. Napahai in the afternoon is another world. The lake reflects the snow-capped mountains, and the sweet fragrance of the lake-view afternoon tea mixes with the breeze from the meadow, slowing time into a prose poem. Walk along Qingke Avenue, watching Tibetan-style houses scattered around, as if stepping into the prototype painting of Lost Horizon. |

Day 4: From Majestic to Ancient · A Dialogue Between Gorge and Ancient TownThe bus shuttles through the Hengduan Mountains, and the roar of Tiger Leaping Gorge gets closer and closer. Take the cableway to overlook, the Jinsha River splits Jade Dragon Snow Mountain and Haba Snow Mountain like a silver chain. The shock of the rough waves hitting the shore will make your heartbeat resonate with the gorge. Arrive at Shaxi Ancient Town in the afternoon, where the most original memories of the Ancient Tea Horse Road are hidden: the wood carvings of the ancient stage tell hundred-year-old stories, the murals of Xingjiao Temple hide the light and shadow of the Ming Dynasty, and the water flowing under Yujin Bridge still repeats the sound of the horse gang's hooves. |
Day 5: The Romance of Wind, Flowers, Snow and Moon in Dali · From Taste Buds to FingertipsThe charm of Dali starts with the Three-Course Tea DIY. In the tea soup that is bitter, then sweet, then with aftertaste, there is the life philosophy of the Bai people. Among the white walls and gray tiles of Xizhou Ancient Town, experience tie-dye DIY with your own hands, letting indigo patterns bloom on the cotton cloth. The evening breeze on the Erhai Coastal Road is the gentlest. The wave light outside the car window and the villages on the west bank form a flowing painting, while Dali Ancient Town hides the collision between the years' texture of the Nanzhao Kingdom and the bustle of the market. |

Day 6: Return to Lijiang · Encounter the Soul of the Naxi PeopleThe morning of Yushu Lake is like a broken mirror. Take an electric car around the lake, watching the water plants entangle with the light of the sky. Walk into a Naxi family, learn to write the mysterious Dongba script, sit around the fire pond and listen to the old people tell ancient legends. The water in Heilongtan Park reflects Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, and the ancient trees by the pool have witnessed the years of Lijiang. The Lijiang Ancient Town at night is another world. In the halo of the lanterns, the sound of flowing water and the sound of folk guitar interweave into a poem. |
Day 7: Jade Dragon Snow Mountain · A Gift from the Sacred MountainThis day belongs to the ultimate shock of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. Take the grand cableway to Glacier Park, step on the ten-thousand-year glacier and look up at the snow peaks, with clouds flowing under your feet. The water of Blue Moon Valley is like a palette knocked over by God. The real-scene performance Impression Lijiang is staged at an altitude of 3100 meters. The stories of the horse gang and the wind of the snow mountain hit the heart together. Finally, in Yushui Village, see how the Naxi people coexist with nature, letting the aura of the sacred mountain moisten the way back. |

Day 8: Parting is for ReunionIn the early morning, Lijiang is still immersed in mist, and the drive to see you off at the airport becomes a gentle look back. The eight-day memories of western Yunnan ferment at this moment: the prayer flags of Shangri-La, the sound of the waves in Tiger Leaping Gorge, the tea fragrance of Dali, the starry sky of Lijiang... There's no need to regret the farewell, for the poetry of this land has long been engraved in your heart, waiting for the day when you follow the lines of memory and set foot on this magical land again. |
