5.00I had a wonderful time—everything went perfectly. I even got to try brewing coffee with Yunnan beans, and I was pleasantly surprised by how good they are! We also visited the largest market in Lijiang, which was truly impressive. One of the highlights was learning to make dumplings at Linda’s home—it was so much fun! But the best part was the cultural exchange. I learned about the local Naxi and Tibetan cultures—their traditional dances, the meaning behind the movements, and why dancing holds such a special place in their lives. I also discovered the beautiful, timeless love stories that make Lijiang feel so romantic. It was an unforgettable experience, filled with warmth, learning, and lovely moments. Highly recommended!
