Lijiang’s Snow Mountain Series

You don’t have much time. It is recommended that you arrange one day to go to Tiger Leaping Gorge, one day to Lashihai, and the rest of the time to wander around the ancient city, so that you will not be too tired

Tiger Leaping Gorge: It is a canyon located between Haba Snow Mountain and Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. The main peak of Haba Snow Mountain is 5396 meters above sea level. The main peak of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain is 5596 meters above sea level. Why is it called Snow Mountain? Because the mountain is covered with snow all year round. Why is there snow? Because the altitude is high. , under normal circumstances, the altitude increases by 100M, the temperature drops by 0.6 degrees, and the altitude in coastal areas is almost 0. Of course, due to less snow in summer and partial melting, the snow in winter is much thicker than in summer.

To go to Tiger Leaping Gorge, you can sign up for a one-day tour, or you can gather people at the inn to charter a bus. It is very easy, because the shuttle bus cannot enter the canyon and only goes to Qiaotou Town, and you have to take a taxi to get there. You can also prepare to hike in for two days. There are several inns along the way and there are quite a few hikers.

Lashihai: Not far from Lijiang City, it is a wetland-type lake on the plateau. The entrance fee is 40, and you can get there by bus.

There are quite a lot of things to do in the ancient city. Lijiang is a place for idlers. The most important thing is to learn to take your time.

PS: Lijiang Old Town There is a street of bars on Jia Fang Street, but it is different from ours. Most of them are Western restaurants, cafes, and bars, so they are not closed, and they are not so dark that you can’t see people’s faces clearly, but the music It's just as noisy, and there will be lively antiphonal singing at night.
