As a foreign traveler, I joined YunnanExploration’s four-day Lijiang tour and experienced the wonderful combination of snowy mountains, ancient city and trekking. Arriving in Lijiang on the first day, I was warmly welcomed by Yunnan Exploration team. The second day’s snowy mountain adventure was unforgettable, with professional guides and equipment ensuring a safe and comfortable journey. The third day’s hiking was close to nature, and the guide’s explanation added to the fun of the trip. The last day’s exploration of the ancient city gave us an in-depth understanding of Lijiang’s history and culture. Overall, Yunnan Exploration’s service is meticulous and thoughtful, the tour guide is professional and enthusiastic, highly recommended for travelers who want to experience the charm of Lijiang!
