Arrive in Lijiang. Transfer to your hotel with the assistance of our friendly tour guide. Visit the 800 year old city centre. Its construction began at the end of the Song Dynasty and lasted throughout the inaugural years of the Yuan Dynasty. Unlike other cities of antiquity in China, Lijiang was built without grand walls and spacious avenues. In its stead are bridges, streams, and a maze of narrow streets which make for a natural and harmonious layout.
Today the city is recognized as a 'World Heritage Site' by UNESCO, with its cobblestone streets, traditional houses, and unique shops enjoyed by travelers from the world over. Enjoy a performance of the unique Naxi Orchestra in the evening (optional).
