DAY 1
Arrival in Lijiang — Welcome Dinner & Pre-trip Briefing
Arrive in Lijiang from your home city (arrival before 15:00 recommended). After airport pick-up, transfer to Songtsam Lodge Lijiang in Ciman, a small Naxi village where the traditional way of living still thrives. Surrounded by pinewoods and a pear garden, the lodge looks out over the old town, Jade Dragon Snow Mountain and Lashi Lake, its interior laid out as a Naxi courtyard decorated with exquisite Hui-style stone sculptures. In the evening, gather for a welcome dinner at the lodge, followed by a pre-trip briefing: the tour leader walks through the itinerary and key notes, then hosts an ice-breaking session so fellow travelers get acquainted before the caravan adventure ahead.
