I plan to go to Lijiang for a week during the 2013 Spring Festival (the 4th or 5th day of the first lunar month). How much will it cost? Including food and accommodation.. excluding air tickets. Is there anything I need to pay attention to?

I can’t give you an accurate picture of this. I’ll give you a regular itinerary and prices for food, accommodation, travel and entertainment in Lijiang. Of course, prices fluctuate during the Spring Festival. Take a closer look first. Please contact the travel agency for details at that time. I don’t think there is much difference...

I often see some outdated Lijiang guides recently, such as the cured pork ribs hot pot in Lijiang Xiangshan Market. The price has already increased to 68 yuan tomorrow morning. Some people actually say that it is 25 yuan a pot; due to the increase in oil prices, charter fares have also increased, etc. Just as prices in Beijing and Shanghai are soaring, Lijiang is also spending RMB. In view of these, I have to say that as someone who has lived in Lijiang for more than 7 years and loves Lijiang deeply, I have the responsibility to inform everyone who is planning to travel to Lijiang with the accurate information I know, so that everyone can better arrange themselves. How to "squander", no matter it is a big or small defeat, you can also be mentally prepared. If you don't spend money like a "piapia" walking in Xiao Shenyang, it will be terrible. Haha, okay, let's go one by one. I would like to introduce you to Lijiang’s food, accommodation, transportation, shopping, entertainment, etc. Although there are a lot of words, they are all useful stuff. Please read it patiently.

Eating

Speaking of Yunnan, the most famous delicacies are cross-bridge rice noodles, steam pot chicken, and numerous wild mushrooms. But we Lijiang locals (although I am not an authentic Lijiang local, but I have been here for four or five years, so please allow me to pretend to be a Lijiang person, hehe) are more famous for snacks and hot pot. The snacks are chicken beans. Bean jelly, Naxi grilled fish, Lijiang rice cake, Dongba barbecue, etc. take the lead. Hot pot is definitely led by cured pork ribs hot pot, potato chicken hot pot, black goat hot pot and various fungus hot pot. In addition, everyone has eaten salmon, but probably not many people have eaten fresh salmon. However, in Lijiang, you can have a feast of fresh salmon, and it is definitely of high quality and low price. In restaurants in Lijiang, the price of salmon you order and slaughter is about the same as the frozen products sold in supermarkets in coastal cities. It is said that Lijiang has the largest salmon breeding base in China. Since salmon is a cold-water fish, the glacier melt water at the foot of the snow-capped mountains is particularly suitable for raising salmon in terms of water quality and temperature. In addition, I also heard that the fry of salmon in Lijiang are It's imported from Norway, isn't it good? I have personally experienced that the meat of live salmon is really delicious and tender. It is completely different from the texture and taste of the frozen products that I usually eat, so I highly recommend it.

We in Lijiang also specialize in a kind of snow mountain fish, which is a local freshwater fish. It has only one fish bone and no small spines. It tastes delicious and tender. One fish weighs about a kilogram. I can guarantee it. , you will definitely not be able to eat such good freshwater fish elsewhere, so I highly recommend it here.

Lijiang is famous for its inns. Many people, including high-ranking officials, give up star hotels and come to stay in inns in the ancient city. It can be said that the inn is the soul of Lijiang, which has the characteristics of Lijiang and the story of Lijiang. Some people say that if you don’t stay in an inn in Lijiang, it is a waste of time to visit Lijiang. It is really not an exaggeration at all.

There are thousands of inns in the ancient city, with prices ranging from 30 to 3,000 yuan. It can be said that the choices are diverse. So some friends think it’s better to look for them when they arrive. But to be honest, carrying a lot of luggage is so tiring! I still recommend booking in advance. You can look carefully online and then call for consultation until you feel at ease. And after making a reservation, some hotels offer free airport pick-up.

Concerning accommodation in Lijiang, there are two key issues worth talking about.

1. The problem of hot water. Many inns in Lijiang use household-style electric water heaters with only 50 liters of water storage. If a girl has long hair, she may not have enough water. So if you are very concerned about this, it is recommended to choose a big inn. They all use central water heaters, and the hot water supply is relatively more reliable than that of small inns. Although many inns in the ancient city claim to have 24-hour hot water, you have to investigate whether it is actually as advertised.

2. Air conditioning problem. Lijiang's inns are in the ancient city. There are so many inns in the ancient city. Many of them do not have air conditioning. In fact, there is no need for it. In Lijiang, it can be said that there is no winter and it is not too cold. Although the temperature difference is a bit big, you can sleep late at night and wake up early in the morning. I got up late, and when I got up in the morning, I had already taken the photo in the sky. What are you using the air conditioner for? This is not a big city, so don’t be too corrupt when you go out to play, haha~~.

Traveling

Let me first talk about the “traveling” problem you have to face after getting off the plane.

Lijiang Airport is about 30 kilometers away from the ancient city, and the drive takes about 45 minutes. Well, in order to prevent brothers and sisters from feeling confused after getting off the plane, I would like to introduce to you three ways to get from the airport to the ancient city.

A. Before setting off to Lijiang, I suggest that brothers and sisters search for places that can provide airport pick-up online in advance. I just tried it on Baidu and entered the words "Lijiang Airport Free Pick-up". There are many search results, including hotels, inns, airlines, travel agencies, and even outdoor clubs that can pick you up from the airport. As long as tourists book at our Lijiang Utopia Inn for more than 2 nights, they will be provided with free airport pick-up. If they book for more than 4 nights, they will also receive free airport pick-up.

B. Taxi: The metered fare is generally 90 yuan, and the toll is 10 yuan. We can talk about the price. The lowest price is about 80-100 yuan including tolls. It depends on how good you are at negotiating the price. Go ahead and talk about the price to death. Hehehehe. In addition, the entrance to the ancient city is divided into the south gate, the intersection of Fuguo Hotel, Lijun Hotel, Wenchang Palace and the Waterwheel. The big water truck is the main entrance, Wenchang Palace is the parking lot closest to Sifang Street, and Lijiang Utopia Inn needs to get off at the intersection of Lijiang Fuguo Hotel.

C. Civil Aviation Bus: You can see the civil aviation bus as soon as you leave the airport. It costs 15 yuan per person. In the past, the civil aviation bus had stops at the South Gate, Zhongyi Market and the Civil Aviation Ticket Office after arriving in the city. Yes, but then something like this happened... Since the parking lot of the terminal was contracted by a group of taxi drivers, the civil aviation buses had to change to not stopping on the way and drive directly to the terminal contracted by that group of drivers. I was speechless. ing, so the brothers and sisters can only get off the bus and take a taxi to the ancient city. 7 yuan is not expensive. But if you have already booked a place to stay, in order to avoid any unpleasantness, it is best to step out of the road before calling a taxi. Taxis in the parking lot prefer to pick up guests who have not yet decided on a place to stay. NND, Lijiang taxi drivers are very particular about the number of thieves and the number of faulty ones. There are so many problems...

Direct flights to Lijiang

(1) Kunming, Banna, Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Chengdu, Shenzhen, Xi'an, Chongqing, Nanjing, Guiyang, There are direct flights from Xiamen and other cities to Lijiang (but only Shenzhen, Chengdu, Chongqing, Kunming, and Banna are truly direct flights, and others need to stop in Kunming). Some tourists with direct flights to cities will also choose to fly to Kunming first, and then fly or take a bus from Kunming to Lijiang. First, because there are more flights to Kunming, and second, sometimes flying to Kunming is cheaper than flying directly to Lijiang.

Kunming→Lijiang

A. Airplane. Flying from Kunming to Lijiang takes about 40 minutes by air.

B. Car. The section from Kunming to Dali is a highway, and the section from Dali to Lijiang is a secondary highway. The total distance is 527 kilometers, and the driving time takes about 8-10 hours.

There are buses to Lijiang from Kunming Long-distance Bus Terminal, Panjiawan Long-distance Passenger Terminal, East-West South Station, Nanyao Passenger Terminal, and Guanguanyun Passenger Terminal, with dozens of departures every day. The bus that departs from around 8 a.m. to around 1 p.m. is the high-speed express, with fares ranging from 160-200. They are usually imported luxury buses, which are very comfortable. The sleeper car departs from 5pm to 8pm in the evening, and the fare is between 140-160. Friends who don’t have a good nose may not care about taking a sleeper car. Anyway, after taking it once, they never dare to understand it again.

C. Train. Lijiang officially opened trains on October 1, 2009, which we have been waiting for for a long time.

Since January 1, 2010, the Kunming Railway Bureau has launched a direct express passenger train from Kunming to Lijiang

Kunming-Lijiang East K9606/7 departs from Kunming Station at 22:00 , arriving at Lijiang East Station at 6:30 the next day, the whole journey takes 8 hours and 30 minutes;

Lijiang East-Kunming K9608/5 departs from Lijiang East Station at 22:08, and runs at 7:08 the next day Finally arriving at Kunming Station,

the whole journey takes 9 hours, with no passenger stops on the way. The entire train uses a new type of air-conditioned car bottom and is equipped with hard sleepers, soft sleepers and soft sleeper VIP rooms. The fare is 130 yuan for a hard sleeper upper berth, 137 yuan for a middle berth, and 141 yuan for a lower berth; 200 yuan for a soft sleeper upper berth, 207 yuan for a lower berth; and 614 yuan for a soft sleeper VIP room

Kunming-Lijiang East hard seat fare It’s 65 yuan.

The railways in Yunnan are cheap, and the driving time changes frequently. The one I provided is the latest one, but I will update it frequently!

Entertainment in Lijiang

Many people say that Lijiang is nicknamed "The City of Love Encounters". I think there are some reasons and some exaggerations. Every city is the same to everyone, it just depends on how you treat yourself, others, and the city in which you live. If you don’t want to have an affair in Lijiang, then no one will kidnap you; if you want to have an affair, then not only in Lijiang, but even in any city outside Lijiang, you can definitely find all types of romance partners you want. , right? In today’s society, we all know it. So, it depends on your mentality after coming here. Yes, the mentality. Most of the handsome guys and beauties who come to Lijiang feel that they are no longer bound by the constraints and barriers of their own cities. They feel more relaxed, harmonious and harmonious. Everyone's mentality will be magically consistent. Maybe This may be the reason why Lijiang is known as the capital of romance.

Let’s be more relaxed and talk about the fun places I know in a playful manner. Lijiang’s bars are very famous. I believe everyone has heard of this. Now the highlight is here. Let’s talk about the bars.

Lijiang’s bars mainly have “three major genres” (I concluded it myself, I don’t know if anyone has said this before, haha) – the bar street on Xinhua Street, the quiet bar street on Wuyi Street There are also "dining bars" (also my original word, hehe) that are free between restaurants and bars.

Hope it is useful, I wish you a happy holiday and a pleasant journey
