A few questions about traveling alone?

General tourism should have the following points. Underground sea tour is specific to Lijiang. I hope it will be helpful to you and I wish you a happy trip

Eat

1. Medicine : Be sure to bring relevant medicines with you when traveling. Even if you may not need them, you should nip them in the bud to save yourself the time to go to the pharmacy. Generally, bring cold medicine, diarrhea medicine, motion sickness medicine (if you get motion sickness), and altitude sickness medicine if you are going to a high altitude place.

3. Water: Traveling even if you just wander around is very energy-consuming, so you must have water. But it doesn’t matter, you can usually buy it anywhere.

4. Snack foods. This is generally a matter of personal preference. Just travel, eat and play.

Wear

1. Comfortable shoes: It is best not to wear high heels when traveling even if you are not climbing mountains. Especially the thin ones. The shoes I wore during a trip were not comfortable and I spent most of the day just looking for a shoe store to buy a pair of shoes.

2. At least wear beautiful clothes: Most people take pictures when traveling, so be sure to wear what you think looks best to leave good memories.

3. Swimsuit: If you go to the beach, you must bring a swimsuit. Although they are sold in tourist places. But I think as long as it is for wear, you should buy it and wash it before wearing it. Safety and health. If you buy it temporarily in a tourist area, you may not have time to clean it.

Accommodation

1. Towels/bath towels: Although the hotel has these. But I still recommend everyone to bring their own. Think about it, even though it has been sterilized and used by so many people, it feels awkward to use it. And some of them may not be disinfected cleanly.

2. Toothbrush/toothpaste/facial cleansing supplies: Needless to say, you will bring this. Necessary for daily life. A reminder, be sure to bring sunscreen. Traveling usually takes place outdoors, so your skin must be protected.

3. Slippers, this depends on the individual. Hotels will have them. If you don't mind, you don't need to bring slippers.

Have a good time

1. A wallet: Sometimes things are lost when traveling. So don't waste your money all over it. But it’s best to bring a card. It’s best to get a wallet that can hold a lot of cards, so that you can summarize them all and focus on this wallet in your mind.

2. A backpack: In addition to a luggage bag, bring a carry-on backpack. Put your valuables in your bag and take it with you when you go out and about. It’s best to bring a bag that can be placed in the front. A girl's normal cross-body bag can be placed on the front. When I was traveling once, an older lady said to me humorously: "The money in the back or on the side is not yours. The money in the front is yours."

3. Camera: You don't need this. Too much to say. I believe the first thing you think about bringing is your camera. . . hehe!

The following is a detailed description of the travel routes and strategies for Lijiang, Yunnan:

According to regulations, people who come to Lijiang Ancient Town need to pay an ancient maintenance fee of 80 yuan/person/time. However, Due to the weak law enforcement and the isolation of departments, many people have the opportunity to take advantage of loopholes. However, they cannot check people's IDs and GV fees on the street like the police do. They can only set up checkpoints in inns and scenic spots to check GV fees. At present, the places where Guweifei is inspected include Black Dragon Pool and Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, in the above two scenic spots. Of course you can escape. But for you, a foreigner. Not at all possible. For example. Black Dragon Pond has a back door that is under construction. You can go in through the shed, so you don't have to go to the two attractions above. It's almost like escaping Guweifei. Generally speaking, inns require you to purchase Guiwei fees. But because the money is not collected for myself. Usually the boss is not willing to accept this money. This money has to be turned over.

Second, to answer the food question, in fact, there are really no classic snacks in Lijiang, because the cuisine here is basically Sichuan cuisine and has no unique characteristics. Not a tasty place in comparison. The following ones are considered distinctive.

1) Soybean noodles next to the big stone bridge. Recommendation level: Samsung This is a signature snack. It is specially introduced on a hand-drawn map called "Walking in Lijiang". The soybean noodles in this shop called "Dashiqiao Snacks" are said to be out of this world. Personal feeling: The soup base is sour and spicy, quite appetizing; the fried soybeans inside are quite crunchy and have a good texture; the noodles are average. Price: 3rmb for a small bowl, 6rmb for a large bowl.

2) Lijiang Baba.

Recommendation level: Samsung Lijiang is quite famous for its wheat (whoever tells me that wheat is not grown in the south will hit themselves on the head with a red brick), so the dough of the cake is quite chewy. There are a variety of flavors for you to choose from, salty, sweet, and water-simmered cakes, which are tasteless and can be eaten as rice. They are sold all over the street

Everyone is different. Price: 4--8rmb.

3) Dongba grilled fish. Recommendation level: One star It feels like hot bean [douzhi] dace fish, a bit spicy. Price: around 15rmb.

4) Naxi barbecue. Recommendation level: Five stars This is where good things come from. Made of pork belly, the pork skin is golden and crispy, the fat meat is not greasy, and the lean meat is tender and crispy. I mixed it with local chili powder and it was refreshing. After eating at several restaurants, I felt that the one opposite the Agricultural Bank of China on Sifang Street had smaller portions but was more delicious; the opposite was true for Dashiqiao Snacks. Price: 15-20rmb.

5) Naxi roasted tofu. Recommendation level: two stars. Price: around 8rmb.

6) Fried bamboo insects and fried water dragonflies. Recommendation level: Samsung must-eat snacks in Lijiang. Whoever spreads the rumor that Cantonese people particularly like to eat strange things ignores objective facts. The appearance is not good, the fried bamboo insects feel a bit like fried termites, and the fried water dragonflies are even more ugly. Taste, okay. Price: 20--40rmb.

7) Highland barley wine. Recommendation level: four stars. Drinking in Lugu Lake...don't say I digress. The landlady announced that she brewed it herself, which made me a little skeptical. It's quite delicious, sweet, smooth on the throat, about 10 degrees Celsius, it's a good choice to drink as sugar water. It is recommended that all comrades in confinement drink more. Price: 20rmb for a glass bottle. (The size of a small

bottle of beer)

8) Roast whole lamb. Recommendation level: Four stars are also eaten in Lugu Lake. Five people basically cooked a whole roasted lamb. Do you admire our lethality? The lamb is extremely tender (Amen, God forgive us); it is roasted at just the right temperature, charred on the outside and tender on the inside. The smell is just right. Just mix hot highland barley wine with Sprite and feel refreshed. Although

when it came to the end, everyone’s eyes were dull after eating... Price: 500rmb.

9) Flavored dog meat. Recommendation level: Samsung ate at Gucheng Hotel, the taste was quite special. This is actually available in other places, I wrote it down to make up the numbers, kaka. Price: 25rmb.

10) Chicken pea jelly. Recommendation level: Samsung chicken peas are said to be a unique crop in Lijiang. The taste is average. Price: Forgot...

11) Kunming Roast Duck. Recommendation level: Samsung’s food in Kunming. The stone forest side is especially delicious. The price is cheap, about 1/10 of that in Shenzhen. There is nothing special about it, just like the roast duck in the world. Price: 10rmb each.

12) Butter tea. Recommendation level: Four stars, very rich taste. Those who drink it for the first time should drink the sweet one. Generally, only Tibetans drink the salty butter tea. Drink half a cup before going to the snow mountain to maintain your strength. But if you drink too much, you will get angry. Price: 15-20rmb per pot. Special recommendation: standing on the big stone bridge, with your back to Sifang Street, there is a restaurant called "Shunshui Tower" on your right. The food inside is delicious and the price is cheap. When living in Lijiang, it is a good choice to use it as a dining hall

13) Haji Beef.

The third restaurant at the entrance of Xinyi Street is a halal restaurant. The ingredients are average and the beef is average. The main ones are braised (8) and stewed (6). Others include fried beef intestines and braised tripe. It tastes good. If you have time, you can go The Yongsheng Halal Beef on the north side of Xiangxi Road from the south gate of Zhongyi Market tastes better than Haji, but the price is a bit more expensive (2 yuan more per item on average)

Fourteen ) Yongsheng Donkey Meat is the first one at the entrance of Xinyi Street (haha, the order is based on the number of times I go there). The stew is 20 per catty, and the hot pot is 15 per person. Vegetarian dishes are free. If you don’t have enough, you can order them separately. When there are many people Go and compare (for 4 people)

Fifteen) Xiangshan Market Cured Spare Ribs, Lamb with Skin. Take Bus No. 9 out of the ancient city and get off at Xiangshan Market and enter the door 50 meters north of the road. There are two houses next to each other. Cured Spare Ribs 50 One pot costs RMB 20 per pound, and the mutton with skin costs RMB 20 per pound, mainly sheep head meat and haggis. Both restaurants taste good, a good place to indulge in meat addiction

6) Lashi Crucian Carp, Zhongyi It costs 3 yuan by car from the south gate of the market, and about 3 kilometers further from Lashihai Road to the south. It costs 15 a pound, and usually 3 pounds can satisfy 5 people. There are countless 7 or 8 crucian carps weighing half a pound and potatoes in a pot that looks like a washbasin. There are countless strips, plus authentic braised tofu, it’s so delicious

Information and precautions

Must-have items (handsome guys with eyebrows or single girls must read O(∩_∩)O):

Sunscreen Frost:

Lijiang has an altitude of more than 2,416 meters, and the ultraviolet rays are relatively strong. So for the sake of your skin, you should bring sunscreen, or use a hat or sun umbrella...

Moisturizing cream:

Although Lijiang is located in the south, the air is dry, especially It's autumn and winter. Therefore, it is necessary to bring moisturizing cream or skin care products with moisturizing functions. It would be better if it has moisturizing and sun protection...

Sneakers:

People who travel generally wear sneakers, but some girls who love beauty like to wear high heels. The streets in the ancient city of Lijiang are all paved with rough stone slabs. Walking in high heels is definitely a torture

Gift box on wheels:

The same reason is because of the stone roads in the ancient city. It is best to choose larger and stronger wheels for gift bags. Small wheels cannot withstand the tossing of rough stone roads and are easy to roll down.

Thick clothing:

Lijiang has a large temperature difference between days, so you may need to change two sets of clothes in one day. No matter what season you go to Lijiang, you must bring thick clothing. Even in summer, temperatures can drop lower at night or when it rains. Reference for dressing in four seasons:

The temperature in summer is generally between 10-28 degrees Celsius. You can wear short sleeves, long sleeves, jackets, etc.

The temperature in spring and autumn is generally between 5-20 degrees Celsius. You can wear long sleeves, a jacket, a thin sweater, a down jacket or a jacket, etc.

The temperature in winter is generally between -5 and 15 degrees Celsius. You can bring a coat, a thick sweater, a down jacket or a jacket.

A certain amount of cash and domestic bank cards:

There are fewer stores in Lijiang that accept credit cards, and there are also fewer ATMs in the ancient city (ATMs are generally concentrated at Guchengkou and Sifang Street) Nearby), it will be embarrassing when you find that you don’t have enough cash in your wallet when you see an item you like. The banks in Lijiang are all state-owned banks, basically the following five: Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, Agricultural Bank of China, China Construction Bank, Bank of China, and China Post. If you take a foreign bank card or another domestic bank card, you may not be able to withdraw money or you may have to pay an extra UnionPay inter-bank handling fee.

Good camera and durable battery:

When traveling, you usually bring a camera. Lijiang is full of scenery, and batteries often run out of power, so it’s best to bring one Good camera and more durable battery.

If you find the above items troublesome, you can also buy them in Lijiang, but the logistics cost in Lijiang is higher and the prices are more expensive.

In addition, when you arrive in Lijiang, it is also necessary to buy a map of Lijiang (the price is generally 4 to 8 yuan a piece). The ancient city is definitely a maze for those who enter it for the first time. If you want to go up to the snowy mountains or other high-altitude areas, you can buy a small bottle of oxygen tank in Lijiang New Town (the price is about ten yuan, which is more expensive in the scenic area) for backup.

The most important thing is to have a good mood and an eye for discovery^_^
