What do you need to prepare for traveling to Yunnan in January? What are the precautions? The more detailed the better.

1. A backpack of moderate size. If the climate in Dali is not much different from that in the mainland, it gets colder as you go north. Before departure, I only had a T-shirt in the city, and when I arrived in Meili, I had to put on a down jacket. Therefore, a bag of moderate size that can hold clothes is very necessary. If you don’t go camping and the trip lasts seven or eight days, a 40-liter bag will be enough. Friendly reminder: It is best not to bring a trolley suitcase. It is easy to damage the trolley suitcase on the stone roads in the ancient city.

2. A pair of shoes that fit and are comfortable. Hiking shoes, hiking shoes, and sports shoes all depend on personal preferences and itinerary arrangements. A pair of flat shoes is enough for Dali Lijiang Shangri-La. If you want to climb mountains in Meili, it is better to have a pair of non-slip and waterproof hiking shoes.

3. A pair of slippers. When I go out, I often walk all day long. It is so comfortable to have a pair of slippers to relax my feet.

4. Change of inner and outer underwear. Needless to say, it depends on personal needs. The best combination of outerwear in winter is a fleece jacket and a jacket that can be worn outside. In summer, prepare a slightly thicker jacket (useful when the weather is cloudy or sunny) + T-shirt. There is a large temperature difference between day and night in this area. It is very warm when the sun comes out during the day, but it may freeze when the sun sets (in winter).

5. For cash, there are fewer banks as you go north. When you get to Deqin, there is only one Agricultural Bank of China in the county town, and it is said that you cannot withdraw money every day. So bring enough cash.

6. Identity card, needless to say, you need it wherever you go.

7. Toiletries and cosmetics. The plateau has strong sunshine and strong ultraviolet radiation. High-power sunscreen is a must. The tourists brought Opalai SPF 30 transparent sunscreen strips and Mentholatum SPF 45 whitening sunscreen lotion. It may be that they were not reapplied properly, and some small spots still appeared, but fortunately there was no peeling. The climate in the plateau is dry, so bring a few facial mask packs for backup and apply them at night. Your skin will be much better

8. Various chargers for cameras, mobile phones and notebooks. There are sometimes power outages in the direction of Meili Snow Mountain, so it is best to recharge all your batteries in Shangri-La.

9. Medicines, Rhodiola rosea to prevent altitude sickness, oxygen, norfloxacin to treat diarrhea, berberine tablets, cold medicine, band-aids, erythromycin ointment, eye drops, motion sickness medicine cotton swabs, etc. There is basically no altitude sickness in Dali and Lijiang, and Shangri-La reaction is not severe either. However, the altitude to Feilai Temple in Deqin is 3,600 meters. On the way, you have to pass two Yakou mountains above 4,000 meters, which will cause varying degrees of altitude sickness. If you get motion sickness, you should also bring motion sickness medicine. (Xiao Hong solemnly reminds: Although you will feel uncomfortable in the plateau area, if you can overcome it, try not to take medicine, especially newlyweds. If there is a baby in the belly and the two of you don’t know it, then it’s not a good idea to take the wrong medicine. Just kidding, you should consult a doctor before taking medicine. The team leader of our club also knows this, haha)

10. Tissues in various packages. Use the small bag with you and keep the big bag in your bag for later use. You should also prepare some wet wipes. In some places where you cannot wash your hands, wet wipes can come in handy. But don’t throw away paper towels. After using them, put them in a place where you can throw them away in the trash. But I believe that in such a beautiful place, you can’t bear to cause damage.

11. Sunglasses! ! ! ! I almost forgot, when going to Lijiang or Shangri-La, one is because of strong ultraviolet rays and wind protection, and the other is because when you go to Shangri-La or Meili, there are a lot of snow scenes to see, so it is necessary to protect your eyes

Lijiang Purchasing Guide:

You don’t have to bring many things from home. You can buy them in Lijiang. So I recommend an affordable and convenient place to shop, which is one of the earliest shopping malls in Lijiang. Baixin Shopping Mall, go out of the ancient city to the waterwheel, then turn left and go out from the tourist service booth. Walk 100 meters and you will reach an overpass. Once you pass the overpass, you will reach the entrance of Baixin Shopping Mall. The first floor sells cosmetics, food, articles for daily use. The second floor sells textiles

. Visitors are advised to be mentally prepared for the dry plateau to drink more water to increase moisture and eat more fruits and vegetables.

2. To avoid acute mountain sickness, patients with obvious lesions in the heart, lungs, brain, liver, and kidneys, organic diseases, severe anemia or high blood pressure are not allowed to participate blindly. this activity.
