DAY 1
Arrival in Lijiang
Touch down at Lijiang Sanyi International Airport, where your driver meets you for the one-hour transfer to Songtsam Lodge Lijiang at 2,400 m. If you arrive early, head to the Dongba Academy: follow a teacher to learn Dongba characters, experience woodblock printing of the Dongba Twelve Zodiacs, and enjoy a Naxi-style afternoon tea. Beyond the fun of learning an unfamiliar writing system, it is a window into how the local ancestors understood the world and life. In the evening, gather for a welcome dinner at Songtsam Lodge Lijiang and toast the start of your journey through the Three Parallel Rivers country.
