How to go to Shangri-La is the most convenient and best tourist month in Shangri-La.

The scenic spots in Shangri-La will be different all year round, so you must know the information about the relevant scenic spots before you go to play. The following small series will introduce you to the issues you care about when traveling. Friends who want to travel should not miss it.

Shangri-La is a Tibetan autonomous prefecture in Yunnan, located at the junction of Yunnan, Sichuan and Tibet provinces, and it is also the only way to Tibet. There is a natural scenic spot with the world's "three rivers flowing in parallel".

1. Aircraft

Diqing Shangri-La Airport is a plateau airport with beautiful scenery. It is about 5 kilometers away from downtown Shangri-La. At present, direct flights can reach Kunming, Chengdu and Lhasa. Cities such as Beishangguang and Shangri-La have to transit in Kunming or Chengdu. There are flights from Kunming to Lira every day, and the flight distance is about 1 hour. It takes about 2.5 hours to fly from Chengdu to Shangri-La, and it takes 1 hour and 40 minutes to travel to and from Lhasa Gongga Airport.

2. cars

At present, Shangri-La can only be reached by plane or bus. There is a direct bus from Kunming to Shangri-La, but Bian Xiao doesn't recommend you to take it, because it takes at least 10 hour to drive from Kunming to Shangri-La. The fare is around 250 yuan. You can take the train from Kunming or Gaote to Lijiang and Dali, and then take the bus to Shangri-La.

Passenger transport from Lijiang to Shangri-La usually takes about 40 minutes, and the one-way journey takes about 4 hours. Generally, the fare is around 60 yuan, while the one-way trip from Dali to Shangri-La takes about 6 hours and takes 30 minutes. The last bus leaves at 20:00, and the fare is about 120 yuan. If many people come out to play together, or there are old people and children together, it is more cost-effective and convenient for everyone to choose carpooling or chartered car.

The best tourist season is Shangri-La rainy season from June to 10 every year, and it is also the most beautiful season in Shangri-La grassland. Flowers will bloom at this time, such as azaleas and Daphne. Be sure to get your clothes ready before you go to play. It's easier to catch a cold on rainy days, but it won't affect everyone's play.

Every year 165438+ 10 to March is the winter in Shangri-La. Although it will be cold, it is a good time to go to Meili Snow Mountain to see Rizhao Jinshan.

The weather in Shangri-La from April to May every year is mostly sunny, the temperature is just right, and the scenery is not strong, but it is still charming.

Tibetan folk customs 1. When entering Tibetan areas, no matter how cute children you see, don't touch their heads casually. Tibetans believe that the head is a gathering place of luck, so don't touch it casually, and don't stretch out your index finger alone when communicating with others.

2. There will be white pagodas in many places in any district, and there are many Mani piles by the river. Don't climb the white tower, walk clockwise when you meet the white tower, don't knock down the Mani pile, and don't pick up the stones on the Mani pile at will.

3. After entering the Tibetan area, you can see colorful prayer flags hanging at the foot of the mountain, temples and snow-capped mountains. The six-character mantra in Tibetan scriptures is written on the prayer flags, which is very sacred to Tibetans, so don't touch them with your hands, and don't trample on the prayer flags hanging on the ground at will.

Tibetans don't like killing, so don't drive or hurt small animals at will in Tibetan areas.

5. When you enter Tibetan areas, especially at the foot of Meili Snow Mountain, you may meet many Tibetans who go to worship. This is a necessary ceremony for them. Don't make a fuss and don't take pictures.

6. Go to Yubeng to worship Meili Snow Mountain, and be sure to go to the foot of the Snow Mountain. Don't pick pebbles in lakes or rivers at the foot of snow-capped mountains. For Tibetans, the snow-capped mountains are still sacred mountains, and these stones are of great significance and cannot be taken away at will.

Precautions 1. The average temperature in Lijiang and Shangri-La is 1-4 degrees lower than that in Kunming, and the temperature difference between day and night is relatively large. Sometimes there may be two or three snowy and sunny days in a day. I suggest you bring some clothes that are convenient to put on and take off to prevent the weather from cooling down at any time. The rainy season in Lijiang is concentrated in July-September, so be sure to prepare coats, raincoats and umbrellas to keep out the cold.

Wear a pair of comfortable sports shoes when traveling, because walking on the stone road is very tired. If you visit the snow-capped mountains, you should keep your shoes loose and comfortable. Shoes that are too tight or too loose will make your feet blister.

Because of the high altitude, the boiling point of water is low, either the food is not hot enough or the rice is raw. Everyone should be psychologically prepared, and it is recommended to bring vacuum snacks if it is convenient.

4. Yunnan has long sunshine hours and strong ultraviolet rays, especially Lijiang and Shangri-La. High altitude, thin air and dry climate are not suitable for strenuous exercise. It is recommended that you prepare sunscreen, lip balm, sunglasses and first-aid medicines, such as motion sickness medicine, gastrointestinal medicine, wind repellent oil, hemostatic patch, etc. The weather in Yulong Snow Mountain is cold all the year round, so it is recommended to bring warm clothes.

Lijiang and Shangri-La are tourist hotspots, and some scenic spots may have to queue up, especially in the peak season, where tourists are very crowded. Everyone should follow the arrangement of the tour guide to avoid accidents, and take good care of their certificates and valuables to avoid unnecessary troubles.

6. In the high altitude areas of Lijiang and Shangri-La, bring more fruits and chocolates to supplement your health in time. In the high sea area, it is not advisable to exercise vigorously, drink alcohol, eat more vegetables and fruits to prevent altitude sickness, and it is best to take a drinking cup with you when you leave, because drinking more water is an effective measure to alleviate altitude sickness.
