Trip Highlights - Lijiang Highlight Tour embodies the beauty of this old town within one day. Lijiang is an old city with gorgeous surroundings resting in northwest Yunnan, located on a plateau at an elevation of 8,530 feet. Tectonic movement, which took place over 65 million years ago, created the Himalayas and gave rise to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Lijiang is so enchanting due to the 1,000-year small bridges, swift canals, cobbled streets and grey tiled roofs as well as the ancient legacy of the Naxi ethnic group. It was and still is an important trading post for Yunnan, Tibet, and India. The town was also recently recognized as a part of the Historical and Cultural Heritage in China.
