"Lijiang Great Escapes: A Passage to Shangri-La"
Dubai, 10 April 2007: Thai Airways International Public Company Limited recently launched THAI's latest Royal Orchid Holidays (ROH) package:
"Lijiang Great Escapes: A Passage to Shangri-La".
Lijiang in Yunnan Province of the Republic of China has been called the "Venice of the Orient" due to the maze of ancient waterways and bridges running through the city's cobbled streets, and is listed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in recognition of its remarkable architecture. With pleasant spring and summer temperatures, it is also the ancient home of the "Naxi" people and a gateway to the Tibetan civilization.
