Find 'the Sun and Moon in the Heart'
Shangri-La is also known as 'the sun and moon in the heart' in Tibetan. This famous city is the paradise that James Hilton described in his novel and once you arrive and see its beauty, you'll understand why! Loved by the local Tibetan people, this city is full of uniqueness and natural beauty. It is Shangri-La!
This 4-day Shangri-La tour will not only impress you with charming landscape and the holy Songzanlin Monastery but will also connect you with local people.
Tour 'Wow' Points
Visit a Nonpublic Dormitory of Songzanlin Monastery
Talk with a local religious leader in his dormitory's study room, which is not normally open to tourists. If you are lucky, you might meet a living Buddha!
Walk in a Tibetan Family's House
Avoid the commercial house tours like the one near the Pudacuo National Park and visit a traditional Tibetan family's house near quiet Napa Lake. There, you will enjoy some homemade Tibetan snacks and friendly conversation.
Paint Your Own Thangka
Learn how to paint a thangka and take the good luck and energy from Shangri-La back home with you.

First trip with China Highlight
Guides like Selina (Kunming), Daisy (Dali), Martin (Lijiang) and Sarah (Shangri-la) are all experienced, taking care of our needs and made good recommendations of restaurants. Furthermore, we wanted to go to the First Bend of Yangtze River and Shigu Village during the trip. Martin managed to contact the tour agency last minute and fulfilled our impromptu wishes. Hotel stays were quite comfortable too. Overall, we had a wonderful and enjoyable 8-days tour in Yunnan. more

The wonders of Lijiang
Alice was the perfect guide through the wonders of Lijiang. She was very sweet, good manner and quite knowledgeable. She surprise us with a cake for our 25TH wedding anniversary. She very accommodating in taking so many pictures for us. She was up at sunrise to show us the sunrise of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain and at night to show us the old town of Lijiang. Thank you China highlight for the perfect balance of activities and personal time. Will definitely come back with our kids. more

Beeindruckende Tage in Lijiang
Wir waren 3 N?chte in Lijiang, organisiert durch China Highlights. Wir haben den Jadedrachenschneeberg besucht, wurden in Baisha durch einen Naxi-Schamanen in die Bilderschrift der Naxi eingeführt, waren in der Tigersprungschlucht und sind durch die Altstadt von Lijiang gebummelt. Unser Guide Alice hat uns super geführt (englisch), ist auf unsere Wünsche eingegangen und wir hatten viel Spass und tolle Gespr?che miteinander. Ein tolles Erlebnis. more
