Hello, I’m Sandy Li, an English-speaking tour guide with 10 years of experience at Yunnan Exploration Travel. I specialize in guiding tours through Lijiang, Dali, and Shangri-La. Born and raised in Lijiang, I’m a proud Naxi local with an in-depth knowledge of the region's stunning landscapes and rich cultural heritage. I’m passionate about travel, working outdoors, and connecting with visitors from around the world, which is why I truly enjoy showing tourists the beauty of my hometown.
Local Expertise and Passion for Guiding
As a local Naxi, I am deeply familiar with the beautiful places and unique culture of Lijiang. I love to introduce visitors to the famous Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, the ancient city of Lijiang, and the breathtaking Tiger Leaping Gorge. In addition to these iconic sights, I also take guests to our countryside, where they can experience traditional village life, meet local minorities, and taste authentic local food—including some of the more unusual delicacies like water dragonflies, bamboo worms, silk worms, and wasps. Growing up in the mountains, I’m also passionate about mountain trekking and can guide you on some of the best trekking routes in the area.
Commitment to Quality and Welcoming Atmosphere
Lijiang is a small, beautiful city with no factories, no air pollution, and a very comfortable climate year-round (with temperatures ranging from 2°C to 28°C). I’m excited to share the natural beauty and authentic culture of my hometown with you. Whether you’re looking to explore the mountains, enjoy cultural experiences, or simply relax and enjoy the landscape, I’m here to provide you with a personalized, high-quality tour. I look forward to welcoming you to Yunnan and showing you the best of what this beautiful region has to offer.
