A sightseeing tour between Lijiang and Shangrila usually includes the First Bend of the Yangtze River and Tiger Leaping Gorge. The First Bend of the Yangtze River was important militarily because big armies crossed the river at that point, and it was a place where Tibetans came down to trade with the people living in the area. The Tiger Leaping Gorge is recommended by Lonely Planet. It is the one of the deepest gorges on earth with spectacular views. In addition, we arrange Tibetan area for tourists to visit such as Dukezong Old Town, Xiaozhongdian Pasture, and Guishan Park.
