CHINA - Yunnan - Lijiang (丽江市)

Lijiang is set in a beautiful valley and is one of the most attractive parts of Yunnan province. It is considered to be a pearl on the high plateau of Northwestern Yunnan Province, and is regarded as the world of Shangri-La which people yearn to visit. Boasting of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain and the precipitous Tiger-Leaping Gorge, Lijiang is also surrounded by the Gold Sand River and dotted with various green lakes. Lijiang is home to the Naxi people, one of Chinese many minorities matriarchal culture originating from Tibet. There we can spent a very nice time, wondering around the fantastic old town, visiting great park´s or eating nice naxi food.

"The entire gorge measures 16 km, and it´s a giddy 3900 m from the waters to snow capped mountaintops". Hiking through the gorge is possible and is amazing... The road is well-maintained and is used by the Naxi as part of everyday life.
