What should backpackers prepare?

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.

Travel.

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 bus No.3-8, which is a minibus, or you can take a 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. 22 yuan, the bus to Tiger Jump. Get off the bridge and then transfer to a minibus. The fare seems to be around 20 yuan. 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 materialistic point of view, it should be the reason for the changeable mountain structure and climate.

If there is still not enough time, you can go to Shangri-La, and you can take the 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 tour group, but with this tour group, you are in a good mood and conceited. Shopping is inevitable. Of course, you don't have to buy it, but it depends on the face of the tour guide.

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

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 140 yuan Songrige. Those who travel for two days can stay in Rige for one night, and those who travel for three days can stay in the water for another night. The road to Lugu Lake is very difficult. It takes about seven or eight hours one way.
