If u go a bit further YunNan it will be Shangri-La(Zhong Tien) border of Tibet. Or you may go the mountain rustic area with lots of tribes, Luku lake etc but v long drive mountains after mountains.
Yunnan is like the Switzerland of Asia and Lijiang old city is one of the most beautiful places on earth. It is a UNESCO world heritage site. Actually it is pretty tough to have strenuous activity up at 4500m. You can feel your heart pounding.
I went to Yunnan for a vacation in 2009 and stayed for a few nights in the incredibly beautiful Lijiang old town. Unfortunately because of the poor weather, I was unable to go to the Jade Dragon Mountain and could only admire it from afar.
Love your video and thanks for shearing! Highly recommend you guys to go to my hometown Sichuan Province. There is history there, lots of beautiful mountains, the tallest stone Buddha in the world, Chengdu is a very livable city because the people there enjoy life more. There are many tea houses, hot pot, street food and snacks. Of course, it is also the hometown of pandas
If staying at a hotel, you can ask the hotel for a location. We found the public bus at the entrance of the Lijiang Old Town entrance, and looked for the bus sign that said "山" which is mountain in Chinese.
Hey guys planning a trip there in two weeks, your videos have been super helpful - wondering if it’s advisable / possible to directly from Jade Mountain to Naxiyage for Tiger Leap Gorge? Thanks
Hi Eoun! This is so great to hear 😊 enjoy your trip. We are unsure if there is a direct bus from Jade Mountain to Tiger Leaping Gorge. The only way would be private car. We took the public bus from Lijiang to the bottom of Naxi Village, then hiked up to Naxi Guest House. You can take the public bus to the bottom and get a private car to the Naxi Guest House, but it is a little expensive.
Up in the mountain, there is snow most of the time. Not sure about July, Aug though. I was there in March and the temperature at the mountain was -20⁰C
That looks almost as nice as the park in my town. Except I don't have to go a few thousand kilometers and deal with tourist traps to see it. Btw, that food looks disgusting.
There are many small towns like this in Shanghai and Suzhou that we can also go to. And the food was delicious! You can’t hate on it unless you’ve tried it before 😋
Around 1950s, a senior top official from beijing, paid a visit to yunnan (several cities), n it's the first time in his life visiting there, he was fascinated by the astonishing sceneries n cultural resources in yunnan, he made a comment on yunnan: 'We should build n promote yunnan as another Swisse in Asia, since it got all kinda natural resources Swisse has.' Unfortunately, they failed to do that, n most unforgivable thing is, 40 years later, in order to spending money (mostly under the table corruption) in the name of cities renovation, local governments destroyed many cultural heritages through 90s to early 2000.
Wow! We also think that Yunnan is one of the most beautiful places we’ve visited while in China. The southern part of China is amazing. It’s sad to hear a lot of the culture has been destroyed
I'd just like to point out corruption and damage to 'cultural heritage' are two different things. You can build nice things while dealing with corruption, and you can do damage not having any corruption. Most of the damage done in China was due to mismanagement or lack of knowledge/experience. Literacy rate in China 1950: 20% 1980: 70% Now: 90%+ And lastly, you can destroy cultural relics, but you can't destroy culture (heritage).
@@ylr622 first of all, ain't anybody here said 'corruption' n 'damage to cultrual heritage' are the same thing or they are different facets of one thing, at least that ain't my point if you could carefully read through my previous comment. However i gotta emphasize, government officials finding excuses to draw up worthless real estate development projects in the name of municipal renovation n farm them out, in return receiving $$ from contractors, THATS CORRUPTION, also it's worth to mention that some projects definitely at the cost of destroying cultural heritage n streets w long history, it did happen in kunming. Secondly, as long as we humans could learn from our faults/wrongdoing in the past, n doing self-reflection in a timely manner, then improving ourselves, making ourselves stronger would be a sure thing, but there is a precondition - be sure not to bury our head in the sand, history is a mirror never lie. Thirdly, i could hardly agree with your opinion that education-less ppl or less civilized ppl much easier bog down in the mud of corruption, for example, corruption is pretty common in Italy where most ppl are well-educated, also, 'lobbist' system in states is the breeding bed for corruption, but as we all know US education system is one of the best around the world.
@@DeBeard Corruption in the name of cities renovation: Yes. Knowingly tear down historic sites: Not necessarily. Beijing city wall would've been the most grandeur city wall in the world if it wasn't torn down. That's before kickbacks was even a thing in China (other forms of corruption do exist). What I'm saying the damage was more related to knowledge than to corruption. I don't know if you're American, hate to break it to you. While American tertiary education still excels, but primary and secondary education is below par.
spending money on new buildings and infrastructures is normal in China, and some of the old buildings will be destroyed for the new city plan. that's not called corruption though some money will go to someone's pocket.

Have you been to Lijiang, Yunnan? What did you love most about it? 😍😍

@video these are great recommendations!! Thank you!
If u go a bit further YunNan it will be Shangri-La(Zhong Tien) border of Tibet. Or you may go the mountain rustic area with lots of tribes, Luku lake etc but v long drive mountains after mountains.
Even I am a Chinese in HK, I have never known this place in China. You are wonderful. This place is very great. Thank you for this video.

Canada is so beautiful!! The landscapes are very similar!
Lovely, can't wait to go back to Lijiang! James and Keli , Thanks for sharing!
We can’t wait to get back to Lijiang either 😍 thanks for watching the video!
Yunnan is like the Switzerland of Asia and Lijiang old city is one of the most beautiful places on earth. It is a UNESCO world heritage site.
Actually it is pretty tough to have strenuous activity up at 4500m. You can feel your heart pounding.
We didn't get to go all the way to the peak, but I bet the elevation makes it very difficult to hike.
Wow . Beautiful 🥰
So beautiful!
Welcome to my hometown Yunnan! Hope you can visit Kunming if possible
We would love to go to Kunming! We’ve heard so many beautiful things about it

my hometown, I miss her😭😭
Very beautiful place. I am glad i visited

It is 😍😍
I went to Yunnan for a vacation in 2009 and stayed for a few nights in the incredibly beautiful Lijiang old town. Unfortunately because of the poor weather, I was unable to go to the Jade Dragon Mountain and could only admire it from afar.
Awe, that’s not fun! At least you could spend time in the Lijiang Old Town, we thought it was so beautiful 😻
非常美的地方
I have stayed in Lijiang for three nights was great experience. Lots of people, nearby Dayan old town was also good
Lijiang is beautiful!! We hope you had a great time!
we also had horse riding for half day for 300 yuan

Sichuan has been on our list for a while! We hope to go there soon!!
love the cutie cat!
He was so cute!! The outfit was so adorable
very cool!
It really is!
we went to the top of Jade dragon mountain was freezing cold but not much snow that year
I bet it was beautiful at the top 😍! We really hoped to go to the top when we visited
很好的视频！
It's beautiful. Which month did you went there?
February
How did u guys get tickets for the cable car up ? Thanks for the informative video!!
We purchased the cable car at the main entrance.
this place has the nicest blue gem coloured water ive ever seen and i found a tiny tadpole in the water haha
Awe that is so cute!! 🐸
Where is the bus station that take us to the mountain entrance??
The bus we took to get to Lijiang tourist site is outside of the Old Town in Lijiang. You have to find the bus with the word 山 on it.
Lovely ❤ How about for september ? Does it snowing..?
I’m not sure, we went in February 😊
@@JamesandKeli Thanq soo much your rapid reply 😊🙏
Which month did you go there?
Hi wanna to know the cable car ticket u buy it at counter or book it advance?how much it cost?
You do not need to book it in advance. We are unsure of the price as it could have changed since the last time we went.
Hello. How do you find the public bus? Do we need any kind of apps to know the bus number?
If staying at a hotel, you can ask the hotel for a location. We found the public bus at the entrance of the Lijiang Old Town entrance, and looked for the bus sign that said "山" which is mountain in Chinese.
Ahhh got it. Thank you so much for your response✨ really appreciate it

Yunan has the best ham in China. A good quality ham could be like Italian Parma ham
We did not know this! We will need to try it next time.
Was Lijiang very undeveloped ?
👍🏾👏🏿😍😘😚😙😋😋😋
Thank you so much for watching!
大理洱海也不错，丽江更商业化
do u guys like china or america better?
Wow, can you feel dyspnea?
No we didn’t. For us it wasn’t hard for us to breathe, however if we climbed to the very top it could have been difficult for us.
Hello from Vietnam. May i know what date you went to Lijiang ? I really want to see snow 😊
We went to Lijiang in February 😊
@@JamesandKeli thanks alot. isnt that Lunar new year in China ? I just want to avoid peak season.
Up in the mountain, there is snow most of the time. Not sure about July, Aug though. I was there in March and the temperature at the mountain was -20⁰C
Which.month is this
We went in February
That’s a dipping sauce n not supposed to pour your soup into it. You just fish out the meat n dip into the sauces
Oh! Oops 😅 it was good either way though!!
Daocheng Yading is more beautiful ,in Sichuan province
We will need to go there!!
That looks almost as nice as the park in my town. Except I don't have to go a few thousand kilometers and deal with tourist traps to see it. Btw, that food looks disgusting.
