Fuguo temple
The day begins at 9:30am with a short visit to Fuguo Temple.
After visiting Fuguo Monastery, one of the major Tibetan lamaseries in Lijiang and also home and school to a group of Tibetan orphans displaced from Tibetan Sichuan, we will drive to the picturesque and less trodden Yi minority village of Snowflake at 3100 metres, where locals still keep to their traditional lifestyles and customs. We will return via the Naxi dominant Wenhai village which lies on the banks of Wenhai wetland where livestock such as yak, black pigs, goats and sheep graze freely. We will drive down to the quaint UNESCO town of Baisha to enjoy a homecooked lunch in a local house, before heading on foot to pristine Yulong Village and finally end our trip as the local cows start heading home at 5pm.

After driving up for another 40 minutes, we arrive firstly at the picturesque Naxi village of Wenhai, nestled in a sub-alpine valley at an elevation of over 3000 metres.
Then a little further on, an even more remote Yi village of Snowflake. Here we have a rare chance to experience up close and personal the most traditional cultures and natural attractions of this area
A further drive of 30 minutes will take us to Baisha Village where we will visit a Naxi family for a local lunch.
After lunch, we will do an easy hike for about 2-3 hours to Yulong village, where we may have a chance to see many highland flowers blooming, especially between the months of April and September. About 5pm, we will drive for around 20 minutes back to The Bivou where our trip will end.
