Kneel for an article introducing Lijiang customs and culture, food, bars and inns! Urgent! It's urgent It's urgent ! !

To tell the truth, Lijiang snacks recorded in major travel books are rarely delicious. Lijiang Baba is a sesame seed cake without ingredients, and crossing the bridge rice noodles is a bowl of chicken soup, not to mention the others. Even most Naxi natives are used to the improved Naxi cuisine close to Sichuan cuisine. Personally, I think there are preserved ribs and potato chicken in Xiangshan market in Xincheng, which are delicious restaurants in Lijiang. Shantou Jianghu Restaurant in Wuyi Street in the ancient city has a relatively stable technical level, especially its spiced chicken wings, fish-flavored eggplant seeds, iron tofu and potato chicken. There are also preserves shops and pickles shops, and fried potatoes and boiled mushrooms at roadside stalls can also be tried. As for the dried yak meat sold everywhere in the ancient city, you can buy it at the price of ordinary dried yak meat, which is generally ten or twenty yuan a catty.

Second, buy

Lijiang's tourist specialties are mainly handmade products such as Pu 'er tea, silverware and jade, wood carving, fur bags, shawls and scarves. The efficacy of Pu 'er tea is that its tea quality is milder than other teas, which can not only warm the stomach without hurting it, but also reduce blood fat. Pu 'er tea is more suitable for the elderly because it can promote gastrointestinal peristalsis and digestion. Lijiang is an important trading place in Yunnan. A knowledgeable person bought 200 pieces of Pu 'er tea, which is worth several thousand pieces in other cities.

Dongba cigarettes sold everywhere in Old Town of Lijiang are fake, and the local tradition of Naxi people is to smoke tobacco with bamboo hookahs. The furs sold everywhere in Old Town of Lijiang are basically the skins of bobcats and big dogs. There will be no so-called grass wolf grass leopard, but it is good as an ornament. According to different fur colors, the price can be reduced to 100 yuan-within 300 yuan.

Old Town of Lijiang has been a distribution center for silverware and jade articles since ancient times. Jewelry is not only fashionable but also cheap. Generally, you can buy it for ten or twenty dollars, and there are hundreds of expensive ones. Generally, even in Lijiang, there is no pure silver with a content of 99.9, with a maximum of 92.5. Don't believe the so-called fake one loses ten. You can buy a style for silverware sold in most shops. Although the prices of these distinctive styles are relatively cheap in Lijiang,

Carpenters in Lijiang mostly carve with azaleas. Generally, the line carving costs 50 to 80 yuan, while the relief is priced according to the specific technology and size, generally around 300 to 400 yuan. Shops generally quote about 800 to 1000 yuan. The more distinctive ones are Hunting Map, God of War, Mima, Dapeng Bird and Frog Bagg.

Tip: Almost all the baby goblins in Naxi Scenic Spot have found wholesale stores or cheap stores, but they still hope that the guests will go to the ancient city to bargain and fully grasp the market conditions, and then let the baby goblins take them shopping and let them experience the fun of shopping. When buying valuables such as sterling silver ornaments, jadeite jade, crystal gems, plateau medicinal materials, etc. I suggest you go to the Quality Supervision Bureau for testing, regardless of the trust and size of the store. Even if the baby buys it himself or takes the guests to a familiar store, Naxi suggests going to the supervision bureau for testing, because buying it with confidence can make them have a pleasant journey.

Three: play

The main scenic spots around Lijiang are the Glacier Park Yulong Snow Mountain, the unrestrained and beautiful primitive Lugu Lake, the Lashihai where migratory birds gather in wetlands, the ancient tea-horse road passing through virgin forests, the open grassland Shangri-La, the invincible Meili Snow Mountain, the Qiangui Mountain with Danxia landform, the Laojun Mountain with rich vegetation and ecology, the Tiger Leaping Gorge, a hiking holy place, and the stone village where generations have lived on huge stones.

Lijiang's cultural performances mainly include Lulu Banrao, lishui sands, Naxi ancient music and Impression Lijiang; Naxi songs mainly include Tiaoge, Dongbaji Rijing, Naxi Jingdi and Naxi Jiuge.

I suggest you come to Lijiang and don't take any day trips to Lijiang. It'll be like driving a duck. It's not fun at all. Even if it is the first time to come to Lijiang, it is enough to find a trusted innkeeper to provide advice, which is both economical and fun. Babies can organize places around the four-day route. In addition, it is suggested that a group of people should not come to Lijiang to play together, and it is better to separate them for more fun. Lijiang is a place elsewhere. Naturally, the more acquaintances come to play together, the more they can't play Lijiang.

I suggest you don't ride a horse on the snowy mountain. Even if you want to go to a high-altitude scenic spot over 3 thousand meters, you must stay in Lijiang for a few days to adapt to the transition period of altitude sickness. Different seasons are suitable for going to different scenic spots. Naxi Jingdi gives you some advice. Lijiang has many natural scenery and is suitable for many tours. I suggest you don't want to visit all the famous scenic spots at once. On the one hand, time and energy are limited. On the other hand, if you visit a scenic spot in the wrong season, you will lose the fun of truly experiencing the classics. For example, Yulong Snow Mountain is often blocked by fog in 10. At this time, it's still boring for you to go shopping. That season needs sunny snow-capped mountains. It's better to play the scenic spots suitable for the season first, and the unsuitable scenic spots will come again next time.

Fourth, live.

Coming to Old Town of Lijiang, I have two suggestions. First, don't join tour groups. Second, don't stay in hotels or hotel-style inns, because you are here to travel, not to recuperate. You are here to experience the characteristics of Naxi, not a high-end hotel in Shanghai. It is recommended to stay in an inn in the ancient city when traveling to Lijiang. The price is relatively low, but the folk customs you enjoy are absolutely superior. It's really a waste to come to Old Town of Lijiang, stay in a hotel outside the ancient city and come to Lijiang. When choosing Lijiang Inn, you should choose a cheap, affordable and fun place to eat and shop, not a place near Bar Street in Sifang Street, because accommodation needs a quiet place. I think the inn itself is one of the most important scenic spots in Old Town of Lijiang. If you book a hotel or hotel-style inn, it will be tasteless and boring, which will make your trip to Lijiang lose many wonderful experiences and memories.

Hotels in Lijiang are generally 20-40 in off-season and 50-200 in standard rooms, which are slightly more expensive in peak season. But we can't just look at whether the price is the cheapest or the most expensive, but also look at whether the yard is comfortable, the specific cost performance, the popularity and interaction of the inn. Whether the innkeeper is kind and enthusiastic will not deceive customers, whether there are many repeat customers and whether the interaction is very popular. This kind of interaction will make you many friends and bring you unexpected gains. These are additional things, intangible and precious.

In fact, in sunny Old Town of Lijiang, most of the time, lying in the sun is a particularly comfortable enjoyment. If you sunbathe in a square Naxi courtyard, where there are pleasant flowers, you may find a meter of sunshine of your own. I think Naxi's pure land in the ancient city is very good, and the yard has a local Naxi style. Personally, in Lijiang, the noise of bars is not as attractive as the sunshine in the courtyard. Being in a daze and comfortable is actually the cheapest and most expensive thing in the world.
