Highlights
Why you'll love this trip
- Hike Tiger Leaping Gorge with a hand-railed escalator that cuts 30 minutes off the descent, gorge walls 3,000 meters high on both sides.
- Shape Nixi black pottery at the village workshop — clay spun, wood-fired, you take home a handmade piece plus Tibetan afternoon tea.
- Ride the shuttle bus into Daocheng Yading at 4,000 meters, where Luorongba meadow meets snow peaks and the group decides who's hiking to Pearl Sea.
- Cruise Erhai Lake in Dali with a 20-second drone shot, flower dancers, costume change, and coffee at Haishey Park with three digital travel photos per person.
- Eat self-heating rice packs at Yading because there's no restaurant at altitude — the tour leader brings fruit and water, you bring your appetite.
