Free trip from Chongqing to Lijiang for 3 days, looking for the best route and the lowest consumption, for two people!

If it is your first time to Yunnan, it is recommended to stop in Kunming, so that you can visit Kunming and Dali at once. You can choose the train or bus from Kunming to Dali, and then take the bus from Dali to Lijiang. When returning, you can choose to take the night bus or train to Kunming, which saves time and money. There are not many places worth visiting in Kunming, it is just a city. If you have time, you can visit Stone Forest, which will take about a day. Dali is suitable for long-term stays and passing by. There is no need to stay for two or three days. If you have a lot of time to waste, you might as well stay in Dali for a long time, because Dali is relatively quiet compared to Lijiang. If you don’t have such a long time to waste, then Just give it three or four hours to browse. Well, whether you are taking a plane or a car, you have finally arrived at the charming Old Town of Lijiang. If you are coming by plane, it is recommended that you book a pick-up ticket in advance, it is 50 yuan to the ancient city. It is best to ask the owner of the inn where you booked to book it for you, so that the driver can send you directly to the inn. Save yourself the trouble of searching here and there as it is easy to get lost in the ancient city. If you come by car, you may encounter two situations. First, when you arrive at the new passenger terminal, which is less than two kilometers from the south gate of the ancient city, you can take bus No. 1 or No. 4 and get off at Zhongyi Market. , enter the ancient city from Zhongyi Market. I advise you not to take a taxi. Although you have money, motor vehicles are not allowed in the ancient city. Therefore, taking a taxi is no different from taking a bus. Moreover, there are very few people on the bus in Lijiang, and basically there are seats in the car. Second, we arrived at the express drop-off point, Naxi Hotel, on Shangri-La Avenue. You can take bus No. 3-8, which is a minibus, and also take it to Zhongyi Market. If you come by train, there is bus No. 13 from the train station to the north gate of the ancient city, where the famous water wheel is. There are two situations for coming to Lijiang, one is for vacation and the other is for tourism. I don’t need to say much about vacation. Every day is basically about sleeping, basking in the sun, and being in a daze.

When it comes to traveling, in addition to Lijiang City itself, there are still two situations. One is a route that can return to the ancient city on the same day, and the other is a route that requires a group tour. In the first case, the main choices are Shuhe, Baisha, Tiger Leaping Gorge, Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, Lashihai Plateau Wetland Park, and Wenhai. I like Shuhe more than Lijiang. I wanted to open an inn in Shuhe at first, but after some ideological struggle and on-the-spot investigation, I finally gave up.

There are few people in Shuhe, it is quiet, things are cheap, there are many bars, and it is not as noisy as the bar street in Lijiang.

Friends who go to Shuhe, please note that they charge tickets and Guiwei fees from time to time, usually during the peak season. However, it is easy to evade the fare, so it is best to consult the owner of the inn where you are staying before going. . Taking a taxi from the Lijiang Old Town Waterwheel costs up to 15 yuan. There are many trees in Shuhe River. There is a bar at the widest waterside. There are singers singing at two o'clock in the afternoon. Sitting by the water, the sun is warm and you can spend an afternoon listening to light music.

Baisha Ancient Town has the famous Baisha Mural. As for how good it is, I don’t know. Because I have never been there, very few people choose to go there. The ancient town is basically in an undeveloped state, and there is not much to see. Many, but many foreigners like it. If you choose to take a day trip to Tiger Leaping Gorge, you have two options, one is Upper Tiger Leaping Gorge and the other is Middle Tiger Leaping Gorge. , the ticket is 50 yuan. The bus to Hutiao is 22 yuan. Get off at Qiaotou and then transfer to the minibus. The fare seems to be about 20 yuan. Generally speaking, whether you are going to Shanghutiao or Zhonghutiao, it is more cost-effective to go with a group tour. Jade Dragon Snow Mountain is beautiful in winter and early spring. And you can take a look at Impression Lijiang directed by Zhang Yimou, which is quite shocking. In Lashihai Wetland Park, the main activity is horse riding and boating. There are more people soliciting customers than tourists in the ancient city. Don’t believe their lobbying. If you really want to go, you can ask the innkeeper to help you contact them. They all have familiar horse farms. If the price is higher than 200, I suggest you consider it carefully. If it is higher than For 300, just don't go there and find another one. When going to Wenhai, you can choose to ride a beach motorcycle. It is very exciting and fun. It is also a one-day trip. The whole ride takes about five hours. There are roads and mountain roads. Young people recommend giving it a try. The scenery along the way is very good.

In the second case, there are three main lines

Lijiang-Shangri-La-Meili-Yubeng

Lijiang-Lugu Lake

Lijiang-Daocheng Aden Lijiang to Yubeng line , you can choose it according to your own time. If you have enough time and physical strength, it is recommended to choose Yubeng, a six-day itinerary. Yubeng is really beautiful. If you don’t know anything about it, search for photos online. It's too troublesome to post pictures here, so I won't bother with that. If time is tight, you can choose a four-day trip to Meili. If you are lucky, you can see the Rizhao Jinshan Mountain, which is very spectacular. Meili is an unconquerable sacred mountain in the eyes of Tibetans. Many years ago, a Japanese mountaineering team tried to climb to the top, but all of them died. Subsequent attempts were made one after another without success. From a materialistic point of view, it should be due to the changeable mountain structure and climate.

If you still don’t have enough time, then you have no choice but to go to Shangri-La. You can take the bus directly in Lijiang, and the fare is about 40 yuan. It may not be possible to visit both the First Bend of the Yangtze River and the Tiger Leaping Gorge during a free tour. It is recommended to join a group tour, and it is best to join an experienced outdoor team in Lijiang. Although the price is higher, the journey will be enjoyable. If you want to save money, choose a regular tour group. However, if you are traveling with this group, you will be responsible for your mood. Shopping is unavoidable. Of course, you don’t have to buy it, but it depends on the tour guide’s face.

It is best to have enough time before traveling to Yubeng, because if you only go to Meili, it is equivalent to giving up halfway. The most beautiful scenery is in Yubeng. You can go from Lijiang to Lugu Lake for two or three days. Just like Shangri-La, you can choose to go on your own or join a group tour first. I suggest you choose to travel independently. The round-trip fare is 140 yuan and will be sent to Lige. If you have a two-day trip, you can stay one night in Lige, and if you have a three-day trip, you can also stay one night in Luoshui. The road to Lugu Lake is more difficult and takes about seven to eight hours one way. The journey from Lijiang to Daocheng Yading lasts six days. I hope it will be helpful to friends who want to come to Lijiang. If you are still unclear, you can consult 138 or 8811712. I wish you a happy trip to Lijiang! ! !
