Guide and driver in the morning, to take you to explore beautiful

villages and sweet towns around Lijiang.

  Visit the premitive Sanduoge  Village and take a nice 40 minutes walk

through the quiet Naxi villages, to the grassland outside of the

villages, where horses and cows are leisurely wondering on the peaceful

meadow, or around water ponds, and where also has the best view of

Lijiang Basin. Sometimes clients feel like a short meditation sitting

on the grass here. Kids enjoy picking up little flowers and wild

berries around here in summer time.

  Then meet our driver again and drive to Baisha village, where used to

be a cycling destination, now famous for country cafes and beautiful

embroidery exhibitions. Then 10 minutes driving takes us to Shuhe Old

Town, where used to be the honey moon place for Chinese young couples,

nowadays you can still see couples in wedding dress here and there,

taking wedding photos on the beautiful spots.
  Afternoon drive 30 minutes to Lashi Lake area, enjoy the freshness of

countryside, visit people's apple yard or chilly garden. We can even

pay a visit to some local Naxi families courtyard. People in these

villages are getting richer today, but still a little shy when seeing

foriegners. However when we show our interest and understanding to

them, they open up their heart, and just want to show you the best

hospitality and the best smile ever.

  Then take a secret trail from the village through apple yards to a

hidden lamasery, built up in 1300s, now a sanctuary for Tibetan kids

who decided to become monks, at very young age.

  Visit the Lamasery, then drive to the very nice and premitive Naxi

villages by the lake on the further side. You can even take a horse

ride through the fields to the lakeside, and then take a simple boat on

the peaceful lake. Early evening time is such a lovely time doing this,

with the golden rays on the water, bamboo reflected in the water, cows

yearning to go home. Time is still at this moment, so peaceful and

smooth with the moving of the boat.

  Then drive 30 minutes back to Lijiang, and finish this simple easy

day trip.

Thank you.
