A 1,200-year-old Buddha taller than the Statue of Liberty, then south into Yunnan — ancient canal towns, Naxi culture and sunsets over Erhai Lake.

Private airport pickup and a gentle introduction to Sichuan: evening stroll and dinner at a local favorite — your guide orders, you discover.
Drive south to Leshan (about 2h). See the 71-meter Buddha from the river first — the only way to take in the full scale — then climb the cliff path past his ear, taller than a person. Overnight in Leshan or at the foot of Mount Emei.
One of China's four sacred Buddhist mountains. Temples in the mist, resident monkeys with zero respect for personal property, and — weather permitting — the Golden Summit above a sea of clouds. Evening flight or rail to Lijiang.
UNESCO-listed old town of the Naxi people: snowmelt canals, swinging red lanterns, and Jade Dragon Snow Mountain looming over the rooftops. Visit Black Dragon Pool for the classic postcard view; evening free in the old town.
Cable car toward the 5,596m massif (as high as conditions and comfort allow), then the quieter side of Lijiang: Baisha's ancient frescoes and embroidery workshops, far from the crowds.
Scenic drive or short rail hop to Dali. Afternoon in Dali Old Town and the Three Pagodas of Chongsheng Temple, standing since the days of the Dali Kingdom.
Cycle or drive the lakeside road through Xizhou's Bai-minority architecture, coffee at a lakeview café, and sunset painting the Cangshan Mountains gold across the water. This is the day you'll talk about at dinner parties.
Private transfer to Dali Airport, or onward by high-speed rail to Kunming for international connections. Want to keep going? Shangri-La is one more day north.
