Lijiang's inn culture is the highest in the country, and now the inn is the soul of Lijiang. If you stay in any star-rated hotel in Lijiang, you will be weak. Hotels can stay anywhere, but the inn culture is unique here.

There are thousands of inns in Old Town of Lijiang with prices ranging from 30,000 yuan to 30,000 yuan. Although many names are called inns, the internal facilities are comparable to five-star hotels. When you come to such a hot place in Lijiang, if you don't want to bump on the stone road in the ancient city with your suitcase, you must book your favorite inn online in advance, so that you can enjoy the intimate pick-up service of the inn.

2. Walking in the ancient city, staring blankly and basking in the sun.

Lijiang ancient town, also known as Dayan ancient city, is one of the must-see attractions of Lijiang tourism strategy. It is a pleasure to come here and find a place to sit in a daze, drink tea and bask in the sun. You can find Naxi Dongba, take a photo and send it to a friend to test it; You can go to a Naxi ancient music concert, or learn to dance the pot dance with the local Naxi people, learn more about Naxi culture and chat with local residents. In the corner of the ancient town, the old man and the young man are talking about their families, listening: whose wife can work, whose wife has more skills; You can also go to the roadside shops to buy some ethnic jewelry and clothing and feel the ethnic flavor there; You can also sit on the stone bench or rocking chair by the roadside, look up at the starry sky at night and enjoy the tranquility here quietly.

3. Climb Lion Mountain and see the panoramic view of Dayan.

Although climbing lion mountain is very tiring, it is a great pity to come to Dayan ancient city and not climb lion mountain to overlook Lijiang panorama. On the top of Lion Mountain, there is an all-wood building-Gu Lou, which is called "Wengulun" in Naxi language, meaning to enjoy the commanding heights. Because of its harmonious sound, it is called "Wan Gu Lou". Climb to the top of the building and look out from the windows around the building, and you can see the whole Old Town of Lijiang. The tranquility here has a spectacular momentum, and the high feeling makes other mountains look short under the sky. It is enough for you to indulge in it, empty yourself and forget everything.

4. Find a specialty store that sells strange things.

Strolling through the alleys of Old Town of Lijiang, you can see all kinds of characteristic shops everywhere. Clothing, pottery houses, galleries and woodcuts are all unique and endowed with national characteristics. I heard that every small shop has a different story. The oil painting in front of that shop was painted by the owner for the proprietress; Young people in antique wood carving shops gave up their bright future and engaged in their favorite wood carving; Su Ping, he made his voice hoarse so that he could hear the ancient bell.

Here you can find not only a dazzling array of magical shops, but also many touching stories. Finally, secretly tell you that all the goods in the store can be bargained.

5. Shuhe,/kloc-Dayan ancient town 0/0 years ago.

Shuhe River is one of the earliest settlements of Naxi ancestors in Lijiang Bazi, and it is also an important well-preserved market town on the ancient tea-horse road. It is as quiet and simple as Dayan ancient town ten years ago. The batiks, silverware, costumes and ancient bronze bells in roadside shops are not much different from those sold in Lijiang, but they are much cheaper than Lijiang. Here, there are more reasons for you to stay, quiet and comfortable yard, quiet and friendly atmosphere, friendly hostess and delicious carrot rice. ......

Friends who like quiet can have a good stroll here, stay overnight and experience the pure Naxi style.

6. Listen to the authentic Lijiang

If you are crazy about snow-capped mountains, come to Yulong Snow Mountain. If you come to Yulong Snow Mountain, you must listen to the authentic Lijiang. The most noteworthy performances in Lijiang are Impression of Lijiang and lishui sands. Both of them are the most representative cultural images of all ethnic groups in Lijiang, which fully show Lijiang's unique and broad national culture and spirit. Before watching the performance, you must know the Naxi culture in advance, otherwise you may not understand it, so it is necessary to know Lijiang's travel strategy in advance.

7. Yunshan looks up at Yulong Snow Mountain.

Yunshanping is a huge lawn hidden in the virgin spruce forest, located at the foot of Yulong Snow Mountain. Lying on the green lawn of Yunshan Ping, you can see the majestic Yulong Snow Mountain.

Legend has it that Yunshan Ping is the place where the first couple of Naxi people fell in love. The love life between Mei Kai and Youle School is like a bee flower, torn by the feudal marriage of polygamy. They yearned for a free love life, so they both went to Yunshan Ping to die. So, on the Torch Festival in June, young men and women living in the village near Yulong Mountain, as well as paper men who made the brands of Meikai and Yule School, came to Yunshan Ping to pay homage to the first pair of ancestors who died for love.

8. Lashihai, boating and horseback riding

It must be a pity to come to Lijiang instead of Lashihai. Lashihai is close to Old Town of Lijiang, and it is a cheaper scenic spot. In the morning, you can experience the ancient tea-horse road with a long history. The locals will show you around the ancient tea-horse road with their own horses. After riding a horse, you can go boating, sit in a wooden trough boat, watch migratory birds fly around, ducks swim in the middle of the lake, and feel a little excitement in silence. In the afternoon, you can take your equipment to capture every beautiful moment here. It is said that famous photographers in Lijiang used to create here all the year round.

9. Go to Heilongtan to see the holy water in the eyes of Naxi people.

The main reason why Old Town of Lijiang ranks among the ancient cities of China is the water in Lijiang. Black Dragon Pool is the water source of Old Town of Lijiang and the sacred water place in Naxi people's mind.

You can bring a cup to Heilongtan because its water source is artesian well. Like Baotu Spring in Jinan, it is green and pollution-free. Water contains a lot of minerals. It is pure natural mineral water and can be drunk directly. Locals will go here to get water in the morning. Black Dragon Pool is the best place to shoot the reflection of Yulong Snow Mountain, which fascinates many photographers.

10, bar, affair, nightlife

A small river, ancient buildings on both sides of the strait, red lanterns, tourists from all directions, bars of various moods, this is the most lively place in the ancient city at night-Bar Street. As night falls, the bar street in the ancient city exudes attractive magic. Bars with different styles, dotted with small bridges and flowing water, are more amorous feelings. I don't know what kind of experience awaits you. Therefore, clubbing is also one of the plans of Lijiang Tourism Raiders for singles.

Here, the ambiguity in the air will stimulate every sensory nerve, and the different mood in the bar will make you dizzy and infatuated. Here, you can stay away from the complicated city and meet someone who has never been touched. But don't drink too much here and don't drink with strangers.
