Best travel time in Dali, Lijiang: 4-day tour in Dali, Lijiang

March is coming to an end. Dear friend, do you want to go to Yunnan? I have to mention that this year's beautiful Yunnan, Lijiang and Dali will go to one in my life. April is coming. Speaking of travel, this is the most suitable month for travel. Please refer to the following for specific information!

the best time to travel in Lijiang and Dali

Lijiang and Dali have mild climates and are suitable for tourism all year round. Suggest playing in spring. Generally, the most fun time is from April to May. The climate is neither cold nor hot, with an average temperature of about 2 degrees. During this period, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of "Wang Mi Yun" in Erhai Lake and "Jade Belt Cloud" in Cangshan Mountain.

Even if you have been to Lijiang, Dali, the ancient city and Erhai Lake, even if you think that commercialization is too heavy and there is nothing interesting, you still want to go again. Because the blue sky, white clouds, sunshine, snow-capped mountains, bricks, flowers and courtyards there can give you an illusion that the world can escape.

However, there must be good reasons for you to decide to go to Lijiang Dali for the second time. For example, outside the commercial ancient city, there is a real old town style, and there are fewer people and more red-billed gulls.

For example, visit the most original Naxi village, the world-class "Ancient Naxi Kingdom" Baisha Ancient Town, the business center of Chasing the Tea-Horse Ancient Road, Shaxi Ancient Town, the landmark village list of China rural cultural heritage, enjoy life in the downhill courtyard, and punch in the cliff to build the Kong Xuan Temple Grottoes Taoist Temple Baoxiang Temple in Yunnan;

For example, you should not only punch in the Lin Yuan in Xi 'an, network celebrities and the yellow wall of Xizhou, but also live in the centennial mansion in Lin Yuan, Xi 'an, listen to the story of Xizhou told by the housekeeper, go to the most beautiful nun to eat fast food, climb Dai Yu Road in Cangshan to overlook Erhai Lake and watch the sunset in Erhai Lake by kayaking. Or, drive around the sea, enjoy the romantic scenery in the double gallery, and finally, see the clouds and clouds at Jinsuo Island Seaview B&B in the center of Erhai Lake.

Four-day tour of Lijiang Dali

First day

Starting point-Lijiang-Shuhe Ancient Town

I came to Lijiang Dali for the second time and wanted to go to a small place, so I had to drive by myself.

Rent a car at Lijiang Airport and start your journey.

first stop, Shuhe ancient town.

The fame of Shuhe Ancient Town is second only to that of Old Town of Lijiang. It is popular because its commercial atmosphere is not as good as that of Old Town of Lijiang. It is also a hub for visiting Old Town of Lijiang, Yulong Snow Mountain, Lugu Lake, the First Bay of the Yangtze River and the scenic spots with three parallel rivers, attracting tourists.

as soon as we got off the plane, we were in no hurry to visit. Our first destination is Le Mengling Diezhuang near the south gate of Shuhe ancient town in Lijiang.

Butterfly Villa, founded by Sun Mian, the founder of New Weekly, has attracted many celebrities and scholars for many years and is a place that celebrities from all walks of life yearn for. However, Le Mengling Diezhuang in Lijiang has a 5,-square-meter garden that can only accommodate 1 people (11 new Naxi-style buildings). No wonder it was rated as "the most luxurious quadrangle manor in Lijiang".

admittedly, the cost of this "luxury" is not low. The price of Ctrip last night was around 16. However, Mengdie Village is not only "luxurious", but also has an excellent geographical location, adjacent to the bustling ancient town and overlooking the Jade Dragon Snow Peak. The scenery is always new in spring, summer, autumn and winter. More importantly, tourists come here not so much to stay in an inn, but to enjoy the villa courtyard and scenery alone.

when you arrive in Yunnan, you can't just stay in an inn. You have to go out and have a big meal. In particular, you should try the all-wine, time-honored ribs and wild mushroom hot pot recommended by the customizer.

this is a very popular restaurant in the local area, with a comfortable environment, and it mainly focuses on hot pot with ribs. You can order some side dishes and wine, which is the right way to start your trip to Lijiang.

The next day

Shuhe Ancient Town-Yulong Snow Mountain-Shuhe Ancient Town

If you don't stay up late in Lijiang, it seems that you are sorry for the lazy sunshine here. So the next day, you take your time, wake up naturally, have a hearty breakfast in Mengdie Village, and then think about it, that is, see the Yulong Snow Mountain in Naxi Mountain, and then go to the Blue Moon Valley in Wonderland.

or just stroll around the ancient town and look for the most beautiful cafe in your mind?

(Yunnan produces high-quality coffee, Ann

Of course, you can have everything, or you can do nothing, just bask in the sun and breathe the free air. It smells good!

Day 3

Shuhe Ancient Town-Baisha Ancient Town-Shaxi Ancient Town

Why is Lijiang so famous? Because twenty or thirty years ago, she used to be purely literary. Want to see Lijiang twenty or thirty years ago? Then go to Baisha ancient town.

Baisha Ancient Town is located about 1 kilometers north of Lijiang City, with Yulong Snow Mountain in the north, Longquan in the south and Zhi Zhi in the west. It is the ancient capital of Naxi nationality and a world-class "Ancient Naxi Kingdom". It was once the political, economic, commercial and cultural center of Lijiang, a Naxi nationality.

Baisha ancient town, as one of the important birthplaces of Naxi culture, is the ancient town with the richest Naxi heritage and the most primitive Naxi village. Here, you can see ancient fireworks that make you curious and miss.

this town is very small. After exploring, there is still time. Keep walking.

next stop, there's Shaxi ancient town, the only surviving ancient market of the ancient tea-horse road.

Shaxi is a small dam, surrounded by green hills, and the Heihui River runs through the dam from north to south. Shaxi is rich in aquatic plants and fertile land, and is known as the land of plenty.

shaxi ancient town has a long history. Bronze smelting began here more than two thousand years ago. With the rise of the ancient tea-horse road, Shaxi has become a famous commodity distribution center with its superior geographical location. It is also the place where Buddhist culture spreads. Shi Zhongshan Grottoes in Guzhen is the largest and best preserved grottoes in Yunnan. Xingjiao Temple, built in Yongle period of Ming Dynasty, is the only existing Bai Buddhist temple in China.

The ancient town of Shaxi, which has a long history but is extremely low-key, just quietly stayed away from the excitement, but it was discovered by outsiders and then slowly spread among tourists.

It is said that the process of foreigners discovering Shaxi is also very interesting. -About ten years ago, an ancient building restoration team from Switzerland planned to restore the ancient city in Jianchuan County not far away, but discovered Shaxi in the investigation stage. Through the communication with local scholars, it was found that Shaxi had incomparable historical value, and then it was resumed. Now, you can see that Shaxi is mostly built in ancient buildings in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and it is not dilapidated.

Probably because the early tourists were all foreigners, the menus of a few shops here are all equipped with English. Moreover, the business atmosphere is also very open. Shops often close early, or nobody watches the door.

(This shop is called Cosmic Bread. Bread is very popular, and the boss is very headstrong.)

Shaxi is still small, but the sun shines on the khaki wall. The picture is so beautiful that workers can't move. They just want to find a place near the wall. Dogs and cats in Doby, think about whether saving here is enough.

However, No.2 Jun suggested that you try the afternoon tea in the hotel where you stayed tonight before sunset.

I like Shaxi so much that I can't stay for a night. What's more, Shaxi has gone down the mountain.

Shaxi is at the foot of the mountain, and the courtyard inherits the old residence of a large Bai family. The cultural connotations of the hotel and Shaxi complement each other. From the gate, it follows the traditional design technique of Shaxi architecture, that is, the gate is facing the highest point of the distant mountain, with the intention of "convex for yang and concave for yin", which means auspiciousness.

The architectural form of Xiashan Shaxi Store presents four Bai courtyards, and at the same time it combines the modern Chinese garden style, like a small village. The whole building adopts the traditional quadrangle structure, with two old quadrangles and two new quadrangles. The two quadrangles are independent and connected with each other.

all the decorative paintings in the hotel are also created by Dali farmers. The content of the painting ranges from Dali plants and workshop labor scenes to Dali traditional sacrificial activities, with strong and bright colors. The hotel is dominated by simple style, mostly solid wood furniture. The emergence of a large number of handmade products, such as bamboo door wardrobes, traditional wooden wedge tables, hand-sewn lampshades and so on. Weakened the sense of hotel, as if living in a traditional Shaxi family.

In the evening, if you want to see the quieter and uninhabited Shaxi again, go to Yujin Bridge, an ancient bridge by the river, and look at the stars.

Day 4

Shagu Town, Shi Baoshan

I know you will love Shaxi as soon as you see it, just like other foreign tourists and China tourists. Consider whether you want to stay

However, if you really want to stay in one place, you should read her history besides watching her appearance and listening to her stories. Go to Shaxi Pioneer White Bookstore!

I didn't expect that there would be a bookstore in such a remote, low-key and ancient place, and it was the "pioneer bookstore" of "the most beautiful bookstore in the world".

Shaxibai Bookstore is located in Beilong Village on the east bank of Heiyu River, shaxi town, Jianchuan County, Dali Prefecture. Its entire building was transformed from the original grain processing station in Beilong Village. The architect of Pioneer Shaxi Bookstore is Huang, one of the leaders of Shaxi Renaissance Plan. He restored the messy site into a landscape courtyard and transformed the granary into a book warehouse. There is also a towering flue-cured tobacco room, which was transformed into a spiritual poem tower by Huang's skillful hands. Layers of fan-shaped wooden steps hover straight up, and poetry seems to be placed at the height of the soul.

stepping onto the shelves of bookstores step by step is the most localized and spiritual cultural landscape in Shaxi. The eyes of poets such as Tagore, Beidao, Simposka, Bole and Mu Xin. Are placed at the height of light and vision. The poet's portraits and poems are scattered and arranged to form a poetic picture with shining stars. In the scattered space, you will find topics such as Yunnan, the ancient tea-horse road, Dali and Bai nationality, as well as books on Yunnan's history, geography, archaeology, education, culture, folk customs and scenery, as well as studies on Naxi, Dai, Yi and Lisu.

pioneer bookstore, built in Tanobe, is also a good place for sightseeing. If you are tired of reading, look at the clouds and mountains.

it's so beautiful here that I really don't want to leave.

but the surprise doesn't stop there.

Continue the journey of ethnic minorities, and then meet Shi Baoshan, an ethnic minority, and Baoxiang Temple, one of the last cliff temples in China.

Baoxiang Temple is connected with a cliff cave, which is high and dangerous. The main hall was built on a cliff. Every rainy day, mountains and rivers are everywhere, and waterfalls pour down the courtyard in front of the temple. In case of sunny days, blue sky and white clouds, it's great. The cliff is full of poems: "Zhou Nan Lingyan", "Treasure in the Eyes", "Buddha Capital", "Where is the Cloud", "Not on Earth" and so on.

heart? It's better to act and get ready!
