Lijiang&Lugu Lake: The Tranquility of Daughter's Country
A private car will greet you at the airport and whisk you to Jinmao Puxiu Snow Mountain Hotel, nestled beneath the majestic Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. Upon arrival, participate in a traditional Naxi ethnic welcome ceremony, embracing local culture beneath snow-capped peaks. As the sun dips, savor a hearty yak hotpot dinner at the hotel’s panoramic restaurant, where floor-to-ceiling windows frame breathtaking views of the alpenglow painting the mountains in golden hues. This immersive experience blends Himalayan serenity with authentic Naxi hospitality, setting the tone for an unforgettable mountain retreat.
Rise early to witness the sacred "Sunrise Over Golden Mountains" from your room or private balcony, as the first light bathes Jade Dragon Snow Mountain in a golden glow. Take a secluded cable car ride to Yunnong Pines (Yunshanping) or Yak Meadows (Maoniuping), escaping crowds to stroll through alpine meadows with panoramic mountain views. Later, explore Baisha Ancient Town and learn to craft Dongba paper—a thousand-year-old Naxi tradition—in a tranquil courtyard, inscribing your vows on paper that lasts centuries. This blend of celestial beauty and cultural immersion creates timeless memories.
A private car will whisk you to Lugu Lake, where you’ll check into a luxury lakeside villa with panoramic views. Glide across the crystal-clear waters at dawn or dusk, visiting Princess Island and strolling hand-in-hand over the "Bridge of Love." Savor a home-cooked dinner with a Mosuo family, learning about their matrilineal "walking marriage" traditions while receiving heartfelt blessings. Later, retreat to your villa’s terrace to marvel at the dazzling Milky Way—a rare spectacle unspoiled by light pollution. This blend of natural wonder and cultural immersion creates an unforgettable romantic escape.

Witness of Heaven on Earth
A private chauffeured car will transport you from Lugu Lake to Shangri-La, ensuring a seamless journey through breathtaking mountain landscapes. Upon arrival, check into your luxury hotel and take time to acclimate to the high altitude. As evening falls, indulge in an exquisite Tibetan welcome dinner at the hotel, featuring authentic dishes like tsampa (roasted barley flour), yak meat, and butter tea, paired with traditional Tibetan music and rituals. This gentle introduction to Shangri-La’s cultural and environmental charm sets the perfect tone for your Himalayan adventure.
Embark on a VIP pilgrimage to Songzanlin Monastery with an expert guide, experiencing the serene grandeur of Tibetan Buddhism and offering prayers for your marriage’s blessings. Explore Napa Hai’s seasonal beauty via private tour—drive around alpine meadows in summer or ride horses along wetland trails in autumn, soaking in the pastoral charm of grazing yaks and wildflowers. Later, craft a sacred keepsake under a Tibetan artisan’s guidance: paint a miniature thangka (Buddhist scroll) or mold a tsatsa (clay prayer relic), immortalizing your honeymoon with a handmade symbol of devotion.
Enjoy the last breakfast under the plateau sunshine in the hotel, and be transported to Shangri La Airport by a private car with blessings on your return journey.
