An Absolutely Beautiful Location - Lijiang is one of the highlights of all the places I have visited in China. This tour is a great way to see the highlights of the city, especially if it is your first time visiting or have limited time there. My guide, Mr. Mu, lives in the city and was so knowledgable about the best places to visit and the history of the area.
