Where Wilderness Meets Wild Comfort

Two days can redraw the distance between comfort and wilderness. From Lijiang, the route rises through White Water Terrace and Haba Village to a mountain camp beneath Haba Snow Mountain, then continues on foot through pasture, primary forest, alpine wetland and two high lakes. The second day asks for real effort, but the reward is equally real: a landscape you do not simply visit, but earn step by step. Travel lightly, climb steadily, remember deeply.

Airports & Travel details

Mineral Terraces in Mountain Light

White Water Terrace opens the journey with pale mineral formations known locally as the Immortals' Terraces. Its sculpted pools turn a roadside stop into a quiet study of water, stone and time. Nature does not hurry, yet it leaves a lasting mark.

DAY 1: Lijiang – White Water Terrace – Haba Village – Dela Camp

The road leaves Lijiang Old Town or Shuhe and climbs toward White Water Terrace, where mineral pools spread across the highland landscape. After a self-arranged lunch, continue through Haba Village to Campnese Fanchen Dela. The afternoon is left open for the camp's stated activities, from archery and a forest swing to collecting pinecones or mushrooms, listening to music, or watching the snow mountain. Dinner is a camp hotpot, followed by a campfire and, when arranged, a mountain music and fireworks show. The journey begins with movement and ends in mountain stillness.

DAY 2: Dela Camp – Orchid Meadow Camp – Haba Lakes – Lijiang

After breakfast, set out through Sheep Pen Pasture, Orchid Meadow Camp, primary forest, alpine rhododendron and high wetland toward Haba Bay Lake and Black Lake. The trek covers about 15 kilometres over eight to nine hours and reaches a stated high point of approximately 4,200 metres; bring your own trail lunch. Pause by the high lakes and the route's wishing tree before descending through the forest to Dela Camp. A vehicle then returns to Lijiang, with arrival scheduled for around 21:00. The trail is long, the altitude honest, the reward unforgettable.

How’s the weather? What should we wear?

Yunnan is dominated by the subtropical monsoon climate. Integrating low latitude, highland, and monsoon, the climate in Yunnan has four characteristics: first, there is a slight difference in annual temperature but a significant difference in daily temperature. Second, there is a big contrast between the rainy and dry seasons. Third, the climate alters according to the change in altitude. Fourth, the frost-free period is extended.
When you travel to Yunnan, the best advice for your wardrobe is to bring all kinds of clothes. A jacket, scarf, raincoat for the rainy season, and sunglasses are essential.

How’s the accommodation?

We believe that staying in a beautiful boutique hotel is one of the most essential parts of the journey. We strongly advise guests to choose hotels with comfortable service and tasteful design. Due to the diversity of ethnic culture, Yunnan has some extraordinary hotels that can bring you the most unforgettable memories. We offer various accommodation choices, from famous international brands to local boutique resorts.

How’s the road?

Because the significant landscape in Yunnan is mountainous, the mountain area has bumpy roads and steep slopes. Even on the expressway, there are always sharp turns. So we strongly suggest our guests fasten their seat belts before they depart.

How’s the meal?

Most hotels will provide breakfast in both American and Chinese. During the travel, we will recommend featured local dishes and street food for our consumers.
