Private Lijiang Old Town Walk with Naxi Guide 

Private walk with a Naxi local who brings Lijiang's culture and stories to life.

Walking through Lijiang Old Town with a guide completely changed how I saw it. I'd expected it to feel like a tourist trap, rows of similar shops, walk in, walk out — but instead we actually understood how the town came to be. Even small details had reasons behind them, like the canals running through the streets, built because buildings back then caught fire so easily. 

We also learned about the pictographic script used there, one of the oldest writing systems still in active use today. It turned what could've been a quick stroll into something I actually remember

Having a local host makes a huge difference. Lijiang Old Town can be quite overwhelming on your own, but the guide helped bring it all to life with local stories, hidden gems, and insights into why the town is designed the way it is. It felt much more meaningful than simply wandering around. I was so engaged throughout the walk that I didn't even realise how many hours had passed.

We (husband and I) had the most wonderful time touring Yunnan (Dali, Lijiang, Shangri La, Lugu Lake) with Nongbu in Dec 2023. The 9 days private trip opened our eyes to the beauty of Yunnan, with Nongbu sharing with us the customs, traditions, and history of different parts of Yunnan. His wealth of knowledge about Yunnan was really amazing, and we learnt so much from him. He was also very friendly and caring, constantly checking to make sure that we’re comfortable throughout the trip. Nongbu is conversant in English and Mandarin.
