What do you need to prepare for traveling in Lijiang?

Lijiang and its surrounding areas are high-altitude areas. Lijiang Old Town is 2,400 meters above sea level, Shangri-La is 3,200 meters above sea level, and Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, Meili Snow Mountain, and Baima Snow Mountain are 4,500-4,800 meters above sea level. Because it is close to the snow-capped mountains, the climate is dry and the temperature difference between morning and evening is large. Therefore, you should bring:

Clothes: 1-2 sets of short-sleeved shirts, 1 set of thicker long-sleeved shirts, hiking shoes, and casual shoes (high heels are painful on the stone floors in the ancient city); in winter, sweaters and woolen trousers, If you go to Meili Snow Mountain, you can bring a down jacket or not, and rent a down jacket at Shangri-La.

Items: Personal washing supplies (for environmental protection, most hotels do not provide disposable washing supplies), high SPF sunscreen oil, sunglasses, hats. In summer, bring an umbrella for both sun protection and rain protection. use. You must bring a capable camera and a large-capacity memory card, as Lijiang is full of scenery.

A trolley suitcase and a small backpack are enough to accommodate items. When going to scenic spots, keep your trolley suitcase in the inn. The backpack is practical and can free your hands for hiking and climbing.
