Tour Highlights
Located in the Northwest of Yunnan, the Nujiang Lisu Nationality Autonomous Prefecture borders Myanmar to the west. It has five counties under its jurisdiction with its administrative headquarters in the Liuku township. Ethnic minority groups inhabiting this prefecture include the Lisu, Nu and Dulong peoples. Three rivers, the Nujiang, the Lancang(Mekong), and the Dulong traverse the prefecture, which causes many difficulties in the construction of transportation systems. However, the layout of the rivers also creates a unique landscape, especially in the areas of Gaoligong Mountain, Biluo Snow Mountain, Dadanglike Mountain and around the Yunling Mountain range . The extremely varied elevation of the geography causes blazing heat at the lower elevations near the river banks, warmer temperatures half way up the mountain and frigid temperatures on the mountaintops. In Nujiang, there are vast primeval forests, producing numerous valuable forest products and rare Chinese herbal medicines. Traveling down along the river from Liuku to Bingzhongluo Village in Gongshan, you will enjoy the scenery of the beautiful, strange, and tranquil mountains, the gushing river, the cable car, the suspending bridge, the cement bridge, the fascinating Stone Moon , Nujiang Bay and the Stone Guard. In addition, the Qingshan Park in Liuku and the Dandang Park in Gongshan will both increase your enjoyment of this area.
