Ask for help and arrive in Lijiang in mid-August. Do we know a cost-effective inn?

Most of the impressions left by other scenery are pictures, while Lijiang has a long aftertaste. . .

This is a place where people can slow down, where doing nothing is the most legitimate thing, and time has stopped in Lijiang.

Lijiang is a promiscuous woman who makes everyone who meets her think that they fell in love with her at first sight and then fell in love with her. There is an ambiguous smell of coffee mixed in the streets and alleys. Some people are addicted to it, others are calm and sober, and each has its own position.

On the bar on the shore, there are many camellias in the pottery jar, which is very beautiful.

Strangers often come to chat. Everyone seems to have a story.

Beautiful women parade in the city in big flowered skirts, giving people arrogant eyes.

Everyone can be a landscape of Lijiang. Like a poem:

"You stand on the bridge and watch the scenery.

People watching the scenery are watching you on the bridge.

The bright moon decorated your window.

You decorated other people's dreams. "

Or sitting in the yard reading, staring blankly, Lijiang is sunny and comfortable. The cats and dogs in Lijiang are so carefree, lazily basking in the sun every day.

Some people are in love here, some are healing here, and some are in a daze here.

Whatever you do here is appropriate.

Lijiang is like a soft and clean big bed for a long-distance traveler. The true qi leaks out and falls into a gentle hometown.

Lijiang travel tips:

Never travel with a group in Lijiang.

Don't be afraid of unfamiliar routes, altitude sickness, difficulty in taking a bus, and the decision to sign up for a discount on the plane, and still feel cheap. In fact, travel agencies should make money, tour guides should make money, and drivers should also make money. People who live on this will inevitably take you shopping. There are bound to be few scenic spots, and you will inevitably meet some people who don't like to meet. I am particularly disappointed. In fact, when you go to Lijiang, the tourism is very mature, the traffic is mature, the route is mature, and more people go. It's especially easy to bring a companion at any time. There is a shuttle bus in the distance and a car nearby, which is very convenient. Stop when you see the scenery on the way and the route can be changed at any time. Accommodation is everywhere as long as it is not in the peak season, so as long as you have basic self-care ability, I believe you can make your own decisions, even if it is an episode, it is also a rare experience.

Do not worry about shopping.

When I first arrived in Lijiang, my eyes were not enough. Many people can't help buying many things, such as scarves and silver ornaments. However, you will find that these things are cheaper and cheaper as you go shopping. People in a hurry will pay tuition. Remember, she said she was the only store that sold this. Don't worry, you'll see. Go shopping. Don't buy anything two days before you arrive. You have asked enough questions and seen enough before buying.

Don't let work wash away your good mood. Needless to say, if you have the conditions, I suggest you be a hermit and enjoy your holiday. Don't just prepare to look at a person affectionately, and then the boss calls to say what to do with this month's performance. It's disgusting. And in Lijiang, even if I hear someone answering the phone to talk about work, I feel very unhappy.

Equipment items

An umbrella is essential. It may rain at any time in the rainy season. When it rains, the sun comes out in the blink of an eye. So carry an umbrella with you. Even if you want to have cool bronzed skin, don't count on the sun in Lijiang. It will really hurt you. So sunglasses and sunscreen are also essential things. Don't disdain to wear sunscreen just because you are a man, otherwise it will look good.

Ladies, please don't wear high heels, because Lijiang is full of stone roads. I often see the painful expression of the smug sitting at the door. If you must wear it, I suggest choosing wedge shoes. Men had better not wear hiking shoes. The soles of hiking shoes are hard, so it will be slippery when walking on the stone road. If you want to participate in outdoor activities, in addition to hiking shoes, you should also bring a pair of casual shoes, or simply wear inn shoes.

If you want to go to Meili or Snowfall, hiking shoes are essential. But after entering the rain avalanche, the road was much muddy. Therefore, it is suggested to abandon the more expensive shoes and buy a few pairs of military glue. The ancient city market sells for more than ten yuan. It is economical and practical. You can change it when you get off the bus and walk into the rain avalanche, put it on and throw it away.

It is recommended not to bring a suitcase with wheels when you come to Lijiang. Many of these suitcases are dragged on the stone road in this way, so it is best to use backpacks.

The climate of Lijiang is characterized by a large temperature difference between morning and evening. There is a saying here that there is no cold and heat in the four seasons, and it becomes winter when it rains. So it can be said that there is little difference in the clothes you bring all year round. Long-sleeved or short-sleeved single clothes and two or three coats are basically ok.

travelling requisites

I suggest not coming in July, August and September. There are so many people. Personally, April is the most beautiful season in Lijiang. The roses, trees and bushes in the city are really beautiful. Besides, cherries bear fruit in April. Many inns in the ancient city have cherry trees, which are free to eat. The best seasons in Shangri-La are late May and early June. In mid-May, the shrub rhododendron in Xiaozhongdian was in full bloom, but it was a month late to see the rhododendron in the alpine tree. In winter, you can't feel the thrilling momentum when you go to Tiger Leaping Gorge because of the low water, but it is a good time to go to Meili to see Rizhao Jinshan and it. The grass sea in Lugu Lake will be beautiful in June and July, but the rainy season is coming, and the road to Lugu Lake may not be easy. Lashihai, with flowers and grass in spring and summer, is a good time to race horses and experience the ancient tea-horse road, but autumn and winter are the best time to see migratory birds.

If the itinerary can be determined, it is recommended to book a round-trip air ticket, especially in the peak season of July and August. The air ticket from Lijiang is extremely expensive.

If you are visiting Yunnan for the first time, it is suggested that you transfer in Kunming, so that you can visit Kunming and Dali quickly. You can choose trains and buses from Kunming to Dali, and then take a bus from Dali to Lijiang. When you come back, you can choose to take the bus or train to Kunming at night, which saves time and money. There are not many places worth visiting in Kunming, just a city. It takes about a day to visit the Stone Forest. Dali is suitable for long-term living and passing by. There is no need to stay for two or three days. If you have time to waste, you might as well stay in Dali for a long time, because it is relatively quiet compared with Dali in Lijiang. If you don't waste that long, you can browse in three or four hours.

Whether you fly or drive, you finally come to Old Town of Lijiang. If you come by plane, I suggest you book the plane to pick you up in advance, the ancient city of 50 yuan. You'd better ask the innkeeper you booked to help you book it and let the driver deliver it directly to the inn. It's easy to get lost in the ancient city, so as not to look around. If you come by bus, you may encounter two situations. First, we arrived at the new railway station, which is less than two kilometers away from the south gate of the ancient city. Then you can take bus 1 or bus No.4, get off at Zhong Yi market and enter the ancient city from Zhong Yi market. I advise you not to take a taxi. Although you have money, motor vehicles are not allowed to enter the ancient city, so taking a taxi is no different from taking a bus. Moreover, there are few bus people in Lijiang. The second way is to get off at Naxi Hotel, a high-speed station on Shangri-La Avenue. You can take the No.3-8 bus, which is a minibus, or you can take the bus to Zhong Yi market. If you come by train, there is a 13 bus from the railway station to the north gate of the ancient city, which is the famous big waterwheel.

There are two ways to come to Lijiang, one is for vacation and the other is for sightseeing.

I don't need to say much about holidays. The content of every day is basically sleeping, sunbathing and staring blankly.

If you travel, there are two situations besides Lijiang City itself, one is the route that you can return to the ancient city on the same day, and the other is the route that you need to go with the group.

In the first case, we mainly choose Shuhe, Baisha, Tiger Leaping Gorge, Yulong Snow Mountain, Lashihai Plateau Wetland Park and Wenhai.

I prefer Shuhe to Lijiang. I wanted to open an inn in Shuhe at first. After some ideological struggle and on-the-spot investigation, I finally gave up.

Shuhe River is quiet, quiet and cheap, and there are many bars, not as noisy as the bar street in Lijiang.

Attention, friends who go to Shuhe, tickets for Shuhe and Gu Wei are collected irregularly, which is usually in the peak season, but it is easy to evade tickets, so it is best to consult the hotel owner before going. Take a taxi from Old Town of Lijiang. It costs fifteen yuan at most. Shuhe has many trees and a pub. At the widest water edge, there is a singer singing at two o'clock in the afternoon. Sitting by the water, the sun is warm, and listening to weak music can kill an afternoon.

There are famous white sand murals in Baisha ancient town. I don't know how good they are, because few people choose to go there because they have never been there. The ancient town is basically undeveloped, and there are not many things to see, but many outsiders like it.

If you choose a one-day tour of Tiger Leaping Gorge, you have two choices, one is Tigger and the other is Tigger. Tickets are 50. Take the bus to Tiger Leaping, 22 yuan, and change to a minibus under the bridge. Generally speaking, it is more cost-effective to join a group, no matter whether you go to tiger pounce or tiger pounce.

Yulong Snow Mountain is very beautiful in winter and early spring. And you can look at "Impression of Lijiang" directed by Zhang Yimou, which is quite shocking.

Lashihai Wetland Park, the main attractions are horse riding and boating. There are more tourists soliciting customers in the ancient city. Don't believe their lobbying. If you really want to go, I can help you contact the innkeeper. They all have familiar horse farms. If the price is higher than 200, I advise you to think carefully. If it's higher than 300, don't go at all. Change it.

You can choose to ride a beach motorcycle to Wenhai, which is very exciting and fun. It's also a day trip. The whole journey takes about five hours. There are roads and mountain roads. Young people suggest giving it a try. The scenery along the way is very good.

In the second case, there are mainly three lines.

Lijiang-Shangri-La-Meili-Yubeng

Lijiang-Lugu Lake

Lijiang-Daocheng Yading

From Lijiang to Yubeng, you can take your time. If you have enough time and physical strength, it is recommended to choose a six-day trip. The rain collapse is really beautiful. If you don't know, search the photos on the Internet. It's too much trouble to map here, so I won't bother. If time is tight, you can choose a four-day trip to Meili. If you are lucky, you can see Rizhao Jinshan, which is very spectacular. Meili is an invincible mountain in the eyes of Tibetans. Many years ago, the Japanese mountaineering team tried to reach the summit, and all of them were killed. Later, some attempts failed. From the perspective of materialism, it should be the reason for the changeable mountain structure and climate.

If you still don't have enough time, you have to go to Shangri-La, and you can take a bus directly in Lijiang. The fare is around 40 yuan. Free travel may not take into account the first bend of the Yangtze River and Tiger Leaping Gorge. It is recommended to join a group, preferably a senior outdoor team in Lijiang. Although the price is higher, the journey will be very pleasant. If you want to save money, choose a regular group, but there will inevitably be shopping with this group. Of course, you don't have to buy it, but it depends on the face of the tour guide. Be careful that there will be a tour guide in the group. When one of our guests left, I told her that I didn't want to buy anything. As a result, I was fooled by the drug users in the group and bought more than 4 thousand drugs. When she came back, she said, I bought it from a group member. I found a friend who wholesales medicinal materials and estimated the real price of those medicines, probably around 300 yuan, and they were all pink when I bought them. It is impossible to find a tour guide to return them. And Lugu Lake Cheap Group also has this kind of medicine tray.

It's best to have enough time to swim the avalanche line again, because if you only walk to Meili, it's equivalent to giving up halfway, and the most beautiful scenery is in the avalanche.

You can play from Lijiang to Lugu Lake for two or three days. Like shangri-la, you can choose to go by yourself or join a group first. I suggest you choose a self-help tour. Round-trip fare 120 yuan Songrige. The road to Lugu Lake is very difficult. It takes about seven or eight hours one way.

No matter which route you go to, it's best to join the tour group in the peak season, because if you travel independently, the scenic spots will be crowded, the room will be difficult to book and the price will be high.

Not many people walk from Lijiang to Daocheng Aden. The best season is October, and the journey takes five days.

Accommodation supplies

In the past year, the inns in Lijiang have developed rapidly, which has both advantages and disadvantages for the management of the inns. Most inns that are considered good have made a lot of money from the appreciation of inns, while those that are considered bad are increasingly competitive. However, this situation is an out-and-out good thing for tourists coming to Lijiang. There are more inns, so you can be more selective and choose a more cost-effective inn.

But when choosing an inn, remind friends of the hidden value of the inn.

Enthusiastic innkeeper will introduce the corresponding route according to your personal situation. Don't think that your strategy is detailed. For example, different outdoor clubs, only the two-day tour route of Shangri-La is very different. For example, the 2-day tour of Shangri-La promoted by Aladdin is the Shika Snow Mountain route in the Blue Moon Valley, and the 2-day tour of Shangri-La promoted by Dayan Ancient Town Individual Reception Company is balague Zongda Canyon National Park. The 2-day tour of Shangri-La promoted by cross-country travelers is Tianshengqiao Hot Spring, just a Shangri-La. If you book it yourself, don't say you have to go around consulting various outdoor clubs. Basically, you can only understand the difference between routes, but you can't understand what the difference is.

There is also a one-day tour of the most popular tea-horse ancient road in Lashihai, Lijiang. I believe that few friends who have been to Lijiang have never been to this place, but there are more than 20 fake versions of Lashihai Racecourse alone. It's my first time in Lijiang, and there is no professional introduction. How can I tell? Many friends have a painful lesson of being cheated, and spending more money without telling them seriously affects the mood of traveling.

A good inn will remind you not to shop indiscriminately when you check in. In Lijiang, you can put shopping on the last day, because the price of the same thing varies greatly. If there is no such reminder, you may have to pay a high tuition fee. In addition, I can recommend you cheap and delicious dining places, which saves a lot of money invisibly every day.

There are many other details. In short, a good inn will give you a full-time consultant for your trip to Lijiang. Let you easily and happily complete a beautiful trip to Lijiang.

There are some unscrupulous innkeepers in Lijiang, so when choosing an inn, you must pay attention to understanding the reputation of the inn online. Whether your trip to Lijiang is perfect or not, it is very important.

If you are lucky enough to choose the right inn, you will get a great holiday and good memories.

Dear bag friends: Tell your bag friends that if you come to Lijiang, all your requirements for the inn are to sit in a daze in a rocking chair, bask in the sun, listen to music and chat in a small yard, have a comfortable bed when sleeping, a clean bathroom and plenty of hot water when taking a shower, and come to a small yard like mine.

Our advertising slogan is: abandon luxury and live a simple life.

Travel may be just to find yourself.

Lijiang is not flashy, only flashy people will enjoy flashy while smoking and say: Lijiang is commercialized. . . . .

In fact, Lijiang has a soft heart behind heavy makeup.

I know the way to downtown Lijiang, that is, turn left in front of my house, then go straight, and there you are. . . . .

However, no matter how far you go, it is also a fucking grave. So simple, simple and simple, life is breaking up into parts, from complex to simple.

Dazuipian

Speaking of eating, it's hard to say. There is nothing special to introduce. I just want to remind you that all the delicious and cheap places in Lijiang are in the corner of the alley. Just ask the innkeeper when you get to Lijiang, but seriously, don't expect too much from Lijiang's food, especially from a northerner like me. Lijiang Baba is just a fried cake, and bean jelly can't keep up with the colorful thin face at home!

If you are rich and want to taste rather than taste, you can sit by the water and enjoy your eye-catching meal in beautiful places such as Dashiqiao. Whether it's delicious or not is another matter.

That's all. I'm not very organized, and I don't like to work on details. Please ask your friends to check the historical and cultural features of various scenic spots themselves.

I have lived in Lijiang for more than two years, and I am ashamed to sum up this experience!
