Lijiang Old Town, Tiger Leaping Gorge with escalator access, Nixi pottery-making, Daocheng Yading Scenic Area by sightseeing bus, Tibetan butter tea at a cheese farm, and Shangri-La's Gongga Langjiling Monastery. Direct flight from Penang, no shopping stops.
Highlights
Why you'll love this trip
- Cable car up Daocheng Yading at 4,000+ meters, where the three sacred peaks and Milk Lake sit above the treeline and half the group feels the altitude kick in.
- Make Nixi black pottery by hand in a Tibetan village, walk out with your own clumsy bowl and a cup of yak butter tea that tastes like salted milk.
- Walk Tiger Leaping Gorge with escalators both ways, the Jinsha River 200 meters below cutting through mountains older than anything you've stood near.
- Hotpot with wild mushrooms in Shangri-La, the broth steaming at 3,200 meters, then stroll Dukezong Ancient Town under prayer flags that snap in thin air.
- Cruise Erhai Lake in Dali with a 20-second drone shot of the group, costume changes into Bai minority outfits, and coffee at Haishe Park overlooking the water.
