Our tour guide will meet you at Lijiang airport, then we drive to visit Lijiang Old Town which has a history of more than 800 years. Afterwards, we drive to hotel.

This morning, we drive to visit Jade Dragon Snow Mountain (about 40-min's drive from Lijiang) which is the southernmost glacier in the Northern Hemisphere.

Consisting of 13 peaks among which Shanzidou is the highest one (altitude: 5600 meters), the  snow-covered and fog-enlaced mountain resembles a jade dragon lying in the clouds when we look over it from Lijiang Old Town.

The Mountain is a sanctuary for rare animals and wild plants. The plants and the animals are different according to the altitude, so are the views.

Proceed to visiting Mu’s residence which is situated in the southwest of the Old Town of Lijiang. It was the Tusi Mu's Yamen of the Naxi Ethnic Group in Yunnan. Tusi Mu was the ruler of Naxi during the Yuan, Ming & Qing Dynasties. During their reigning, this residence was the center of politics, power and wealth in ancient Naxi. It could be said that it was a miniature Forbidden City.  After tour, we drive back to hotel.
