Who it’s for — and why

  • Two full days in the Longji area allow time to walk at a comfortable pace among the terraced fields and ancient village without rushing.
  • Rafting on the Yulong and Li rivers offers quiet, seated immersion in scenery—no physical exertion required.
  • Xianggong Mountain Viewing Platform provides accessible elevation with expansive, uncluttered views—no steep climbs or narrow paths.
  • The private-tour setup means rest stops, timing, and pacing are guided solely by your rhythm—not a group schedule.
