Overview of your Lijiang & Yunnan tour

One of the great day hikes in China: the high trail above the Jinsha River with the snow mountains on both sides, the 28 bends, and lunch at a guesthouse on the cliff. Private car there and back so you walk the best section only.

FAQs

Fitness needed?

You should be comfortable walking 5 hours with 600 m of climb. The 28 bends are the hard part and they are over by 11.

How do I pay?

After the guide confirms your itinerary you receive a payment link for the 20% deposit (card). The balance is charged 7 days before the tour. Sample policy for the demo.
