Frequently asked questions.
Visa & Travel Requirements
Guests traveling to China will need a visa, so please allow enough time for processing. We recommend applying well in advance to avoid any delays. Be sure to check your passport’s validity and any additional requirements for your application.
Flights & Transportation
The best way to get to Lijiang from Manila is to book a flight to either Shenzhen, Chengdu, or Guangzhou, then take a domestic flight to Lijiang. Based on our experience, booking flights within two months of travel often offers the best prices. Also, note that English sites like Google Flights may not always show the lowest fares, so we recommend checking directly with the airlines for the full schedule and best deals.
Accommodation
We’re happy to provide hotel accommodations for our guests for two nights. If you’d like to extend your stay, you can arrange this directly with the hotel upon arrival, subject to availability.
Weather & Packing Tips
Lijiang in February is dry, with cold nights and cool days. Night temperatures can drop to 6°C, while daytime highs average 19°C. There’s a chance of light snow at night.
For clothing, bring warm layers like a coat, gloves, and a scarf or hat for the evenings. During sunny days, lighter clothing such as shirts and jeans should be comfortable.

Health & Safety
Lijiang sits at a high elevation of 2,400 meters (7,900 feet), so be aware of possible altitude sickness. Symptoms vary from person to person and may include headaches, dizziness, or shortness of breath.
