Location & How to Get There

Meadows In Full Blossom sits along the upper reaches of the Jinsha River in Lijiang’s Old Town area, Yunnan Province. Though it’s near the bustling ancient city, this spot feels worlds away. To reach it, you can take a taxi or bike from Lijiang Downtown—it’s about a 20-minute ride. If you’re up for a scenic trek, follow the riverside path from the city; the views get wilder (and quieter) with every step.

Nature’s Colorful Canvas

At Meadows In Full Blossom, nature drops its dullest crayons. Spring paints the fields golden with rapeseed flowers, while summer swaps them for purple-and-white gesang blooms. By autumn, tall miscanthus grass sways like a golden ocean, and winter’s reeds add a silvery-brown hue. Behind it all, the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain looms, its icy peaks contrasting perfectly with the colorful meadows below. Bring your camera—every season here is a “wow” moment.

A Breath of Culture

While Meadows In Full Blossom is all about nature, local vibes sneak in. Nearby, you’ll spot Naxi ethnic villages with traditional courtyards and wooden water wheels. Some weekends, families host folk dances or craft markets along the riverbank. It’s not a “tourist trap”—more like peeking into everyday life framed by flower fields.

Practical Perks

Don’t worry about roughing it here. Wooden boardwalks crisscross the meadows, so you won’t muck your shoes. Shaded rest areas let you chill with a snack (small stalls sell tea and snacks). For Instagram addicts, there’s even a “hidden” spot where a giant tree frames the river and mountains—locals call it the “best photo booth.”

Tips for Your Visit

Morning light makes the meadows glow, but late afternoon adds a warm, golden filter. Wear comfy shoes—some parts are uneven, but that’s half the adventure! Bring sunscreen, even in fall. And if you’re visiting on a festival day (like the Naxi New Year), expect music, dancing, and maybe even free rice wine. Pro tip: The paths get busy on weekends, so weekdays = peaceful flower-gazing.

This pocket of wild beauty proves that Lijiang isn’t just about cobblestone streets and lanterns. At Meadows In Full Blossom, you’ll trade crowds for cows, selfie sticks for dragonflies, and city noise for the soft hum of bees. Perfect for couples, solo wanderers, or anyone who craves a little nature magic.
