Our guide is scheduled to collect participants at 9:00am from their pre-reserved hotel or specified location in downtown Lijiang. We provide a truck for transporting bicycles, with participants being accommodated in the same vehicle. Note that it’s not an elegant car or van. There will be an opportunity to explore the village and capture compelling photographs. Dressed in their native attire, the local Bai people add to the scenic charm. The rural area also provides engaging visual captures. May you have a delightful time exploring the village and the local market.

Keep in mind that lunch in this small county will be a simple Chinese meal served at a local restaurant, primarily because it is not Lijiang.
The Xinhua village, situated in Heqing County at the far southeastern end of Lijiang prefecture, is esteemed as the ‘village of water’. Its immaculate natural environment is marked by abundant clear, fresh water safe for direct consumption. A longstanding tradition of silver handcrafting by its inhabitants is another highlight of the village. Post-tour, feel free to roam the ancient city of Lijiang and enjoy life at your own pace.
