Lijiang trip?
Plan Your TripLijiang has so much more to offer beyond the typical tourist trail. These niche tours are designed for travellers who want to go deeper — whether you're passionate about food, history, nature, or culture.
Lijiang is a city best experienced through its culture — not just observing it, but participating in it. The Lijiang Old Town (Dayan) is a starting point, but the real richness comes from meeting the artisans, tasting the traditions, and understanding the stories behind the landmarks. That's what niche travel is about in Lijiang: connecting with the city on its own terms.
I've been guiding special-interest travellers through Lijiang for years — covering everything from historical, cultural, nature experiences. Every traveller arrives with different curiosities, and that's what makes niche tours so rewarding. You might spend the morning with a local historian and the afternoon exploring something completely different. The thread that ties it together is your curiosity — and my knowledge of how to satisfy it.
