Had an amazing time with Linda. She is such a fun and unique person. We visited the wet market where I learned alot about yunnan cuisine and ingredients. We cooked amazing food together and afterwards went to her rooftop cafe to try locally grown coffe. The coffe tasted great and the view of the sunset is one of the best you can have in Lijiang. I would recommend to everyone to book a tour or cooking class with Linda when coming to Lijiang
I had a wonderful time—everything went perfectly. I even got to try brewing coffee with Yunnan beans, and I was pleasantly surprised by how good they are! We also visited the largest market in Lijiang, which was truly impressive. One of the highlights was learning to make dumplings at Linda’s home—it was so much fun! But the best part was the cultural exchange. I learned about the local Naxi and Tibetan cultures—their traditional dances, the meaning behind the movements, and why dancing holds such a special place in their lives. I also discovered the beautiful, timeless love stories that make Lijiang feel so romantic. It was an unforgettable experience, filled with warmth, learning, and lovely moments. Highly recommended!
