Jolie Adventures • Holistic Healing
Discover transformative journeys through hiking, yoga retreats, and shamanic dance healing in the heart of Yunnan, China.

Jolie Lu has been creating transformative travel experiences since 2008. Her journey began with leading a pioneering trek from Laos through the remote regions of Southeast Asia, sparking a lifelong passion for adventure and cultural exploration.
Her expertise in the Yunnan-Tibet region is unparalleled. She has led countless expeditions along ancient pilgrimage routes, tea horse caravan trails, and through some of the most sacred landscapes in Asia. Her deep connections with local communities—from Tibetan monasteries to Naxi villages—offer travelers authentic experiences beyond typical tourism.
Before founding Jolie Adventures, she honed her hospitality skills at Naked Retreats, one of China's premier luxury eco-resort companies. This experience taught her the importance of combining adventure with comfort, and challenge with care.
