Time: 2ed day 0900am - 0500pm

Take a small travel bag with all necessities for two days ( Almost same weather as in Kunming ) and get ready before 0620am in the Lobby when our guide will pick you up and transfer to the airport for the scheduled flight at 0745 and arrive in Lijiang at 0900am. Met in Lijiang by our minority ( Bai ) guide and transfer to the Hotel for a short rest. 1100am Our Bai Guide will show you to the Shangri-la town of Lijiang. Lijiang has its own unique pictograph characters called Dongba, which you will find carved or painted on most of the souvenirs sold in town. Lunch will be served somewhere in the town by the side of the
running stream.

Black Dragon Pool will be the must to see in the afternoon to catch the first glimpse of the Yu Long Snow Mountain which has the unique location of being at the lowest latitude and in the farthest south of China compared to other snow-capped mountains. Our guide will take you back to the hotel around 0400pm for a hot bath and good rest.

Before the sun sets, local family visit will start. You will have the chance to visit some local village families as well as watching the silhouettes of the cattles and farmers in the field against the setting sunshine. Dinner will be prepared by one of the families with all kinds of village delicacies, of which most may be right to your taste, yet some may be part of your daring culinary adventures.

In the evening, special ancient Naxi Folk music performance will be arranged before the good-night from our guide.

Next morning, after the buffet breakfast in the hotel, our Bai guide will pick you up at 0900am and take the direct ride to the Yu Long Snow Mountain. Take cable car ( simple and safe ) up the dried lake to achieve the best view of the snow mountain top. You do not have to worry renting a thick parka, since up at the dried lake, the temperature would be more or less the same, especially when nice sunshine's available. Many beautiful and cheerful Tibetan girls are having their fun there by lending you their yak hat or Tibetan Clothes for pictures. Some of them would also like to pose with you in front of your camera. Tips to them would be encouraged whenever you have them in your camera. Lunch will be either in lunch-box or a later one down the hill.

Around 0400pm, transfer will be made to the airport for flight back to Kunming and in Kunming arrival transfer will also be made timely to the hotel.
