Lijiang Family Trip | Experience Colorful Ethnic Culture and Natural Beauty

🚗 Transportation Guide:
Same as the first guide, both flights and trains offer convenient ways to reach Lijiang Old Town.

🌟 Recommended Itinerary:
[Lijiang Impressions Park] — [Jade Dragon Snow Mountain] — [Blue Moon Valley] — [Shuhe Ancient Town] — [Lashi Lake Tea Horse Road]

1⃣️ Lijiang Impressions Park
This place features breathtaking performances that will keep children wide-eyed and fully immersed in the exciting storylines. The park also offers various family-friendly activities such as Dongba papermaking and Naxi embroidery, where kids can participate hands-on and experience the charm of intangible cultural heritage.

2⃣️ Jade Dragon Snow Mountain
Taking your kids to conquer the 4,506-meter-high Jade Dragon Snow Mountain is an unforgettable experience. Be sure to prepare oxygen tanks and down jackets in advance, as the temperature is low and oxygen is scarce at high altitudes. You can take the cable car to a designated height, allowing children to enjoy the snowy scenery and marvel at nature’s wonders.

3⃣️ Blue Moon Valley
The lake’s water is as blue as if a paint palette was spilled—breathtakingly beautiful. Dress your kids in bright jackets and take photos at White Water Terraces and Blue Lake, making them look like mermaid princesses in a dreamlike setting. The lake is formed by snowmelt from the mountain, with crystal-clear water and enchanting scenery.

4⃣️ Shuhe Ancient Town
Much quieter than Lijiang Old Town, it’s the epitome of slow living. There’s a large lawn by Qinglong Bridge where kids can run and play freely. You can also visit the Shuhe Craftsmen Village, where children can try pottery making and even have their creations shipped home as a special souvenir.

5⃣️ Lashi Lake Tea Horse Road
The whole family can ride horses along the ancient trail and experience the local farming lifestyle. Choose a reputable stable with proper certification, and opt for a 1-hour short route suitable for kids riding ponies. After horseback riding, you can feed seagulls by the lake, enjoying the stunning scenery.

🏨 Accommodation Tips:
Yunji Luxury Wild Homestay is a great choice, located between Haba Snow Mountain and Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. It features panoramic glass windows, allowing you to gaze at the snow-capped peaks without stepping outside. The homestay boasts a strong design sense and stunning surrounding views, offering both kids and parents an intimate connection with nature.

🌟 Travel Tips:
1⃣️ Book cable car tickets for Jade Dragon Snow Mountain at least 3 days in advance to avoid delays.
2⃣️ Follow the stable staff’s instructions when horseback riding at Lashi Lake to ensure children’s safety.
3⃣️ If your child is young, adjust the itinerary according to their stamina and condition to avoid overexertion.
