We have been travelling around Yunnan…
We have been travelling around Yunnan Province for 8 days and it’s been amazing. The culture, the food, the people’s kindness, all these things made our trip unforgettable. Especially our guide Nancy! The most helpful and friendly guide we could have. We really appreciate her knowledge about the local history and the culture. She’s really amazing and we strongly recommend her services. moreMar 2022, Danielle Toledo

One of the best things I’ve done in China
One of the best things I’ve done in China. Being that I am pretty well traveled in China this Experience was so different from the others. Each city provided a different aspect of the culture, local traditions and beauty that China has to offer. Our Tour guide Nancy was amazing as she made our itinerary very well constructed and organized. She was there to make sure we were comfortable and happy. Her hyper energy and cheerfulness made us feel enthusiastic for the day. We are very satisfied with this trip and Nancy’s services that we will be sure to book again. moreFeb 2022, RoshR

Lijiang Trip July 2021
Kudos to Alisa Liu from the agency who I must say was on hand almost 24/7 for requests and queries. Even though our trip was marred with the onset of the Typhoon In Fa with various flight and train cancellations but Alisa was quick to arrange for alternative solutions under the circumstances and made the most effort to make our journey as comfortable as possible whilst we made our way back to Shanghai. As for the itinerary, Alisa understands her clientele’s different needs very well and for the most part my expectations were met. I love private tours with a very relaxed itinerary and comfortable accommodation and some of us prefer more exclusive accommodation vs a packed itinerary trying to go to a hundred location type of tour. moreAug 2021, Ida Suriani

Summer holiday in Yunnan
After spending 5 nights in Dali visiting sights in our own time, Alice who was very friendly and helpful, accompanied us on our drive from Dali to Lijiang. She shared interesting facts about the local area and the things we had done. In Lijiang, we met our guide Peter. Peter did an amazing job taking care of us and showing us the beautiful sights for our 3 days. He was so kind, providing us with snacks each morning and always ensuring the food met my dietary requirements. He even picked up our last minute NAT results that we did before our departure late at night! His passion and dedication to his job was very impressive, and we would highly recommend him to our friends. moreAug 2021, O6866ZGlaurag

Amazing experience in Yunnan
Please bear in mind that booking tickets and actually getting to the sightseeing point is very challenging, especially during peak season. But with the help of our guides everything went smooth and silky. Thank you, China Highlights, for making our first trip to Yunnan an unforgettable and carefree adventure. It was a true relaxation without any headache or stress. We had nothing to worry about, except enjoying breathtaking beauty of Yunnan. moreJul 2021, olya84

Itinerary Quick Look
Here is a suggested itinerary. We are happy to customize a tour according to your interests.
Drive from Lijiang to Haba village. You will prepare for your equipment and acclimatize yourself to the altitude at 2,600 m (8,500 feet) in Haba Snow Mountain Guesthouse.
Trek up Haba Mountain for about 15 km (10 miles) to its summit-ascent base camp at altitude 4,000 m (13,000 ft). You will have a picnic lunch on Haba Snow Mountain.
The walk will take 6–7 hours, and is mostly through beautiful alpine forest, apart from three meadows that you will cross on the way. You could also ride a horse from the village to the base camp to save your energy (at extra cost).
On day 2, you will ascend 1,400 m (4,600 ft), arriving at Haba Snow Mountain Base Camp in the afternoon. Everyone is likely to suffer from some altitude sickness, but if you are fit enough, it will probably be manageable. If you feel unwell, please tell your guide.
Spend the night at the Base Camp in a tent or in a wooden hut (beds and quilts are available in the wooden hut).
Start hiking in the early morning (around 3 am), leaving most of your luggage at the base camp. You just need to take your mountaineering tools
On your attempt to climb to the top of Haba Snow Mountain, you will need to walk about 5 km (3 miles) and ascend 1,400 m (4,600 ft) from the base camp to the summit.

Usually, it will take you about 3 hours to get from Camp 1 to the top. Enjoy the wonderful scenery of Haba Snow Mountain and Jade Dragon Snow Mountain along the way. The Meili Snow Mountains and the holy mountains in Daocheng and Yading can also be seen if the weather is good. These will unforgettable moments of your life.
