Tour 'Wow' Points
Baishuitai (White Water Terraces)
Baishuitai is a natural wonder famous for its stunning white limestone terraces that cascade like frozen waterfalls. Considered a sacred site by the local Naxi and Dongba cultures, this peaceful landscape combines geology, spirituality, and pristine nature. Crystal-clear spring water flows gently over the terraces, creating a serene and almost surreal atmosphere—perfect for travelers seeking quiet beauty and cultural depth.
Tiger Leaping Gorge
Tiger Leaping Gorge is one of the deepest and most dramatic canyons in the world, carved by the powerful Jinsha River between Jade Dragon Snow Mountain and Haba Snow Mountain. With towering cliffs, roaring rapids, and breathtaking hiking trails, it’s a paradise for nature lovers and adventure seekers. Whether you explore the scenic viewpoints or hike along the legendary high trail, the raw scale and beauty of the gorge leave a lasting impression.
Lijiang Old Town
Lijiang Old Town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its cobblestone streets, flowing canals, traditional Naxi architecture, and relaxed mountain-town charm. Set against the backdrop of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, the old town blends history, culture, and everyday life seamlessly. Wandering through its lanes, you’ll find local cafés, craft shops, music, and hidden courtyards—making it an ideal place to slow down and soak in Yunnan’s unique spirit.
