I would like to ask for the route guide and accommodation recommendations for taking the train from Shenzhen to Lijiang during the Spring Festival. It will take about 10 days and is relatively economical.

Hello, host, welcome to Lijiang!

There is no direct train from Shenzhen to Lijiang, so you have to transfer in Kunming. The total train time is 38 hours and the cost is not low. It is recommended to pay attention to the special air tickets on Qunar in advance, fly to Kunming and transfer to Lijiang.

According to you, your pure play time should be 10 days. The route is planned as follows:

Lijiang Ancient Town takes 2 days, Lashihai takes half a day, and Shuhe takes half a day. If you like, you can stay in Shuhe at night. Horse riding and boating in Lashihai, strolling in Shuhe Ancient Town, and a day at Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. Visit Lijiang Old Town or Bar Street in the evening.

Lugu Lake takes 2-3 days. Lugu Lake is more than 5 hours’ drive from Lijiang. You can take a special bus back and forth or join a group tour.

The Lugu Lake tourist route is generally a two-day tour: D1 departs at 7:30 in the morning → get off the car and take photos after passing through the eighteen bends of the mountain road (35KM) → travel along the Jinsha River and arrive at Lugu Lake around noon → Tour loop Lake Avenue (car route) → Caohai (walking wedding bridge) → Take the ropeway up to Lion Rock in Nisai (about 1 hour, overlooking the panoramic view of Lugu Lake and visit the Gemu Goddess Cave) → Stay in Lugu Lake - bonfire party in the evening. D2. After breakfast, take a pig trough boat tour around the lakes and mountains → local custom architecture (simple home visit) → scenery of Dashuoshui Village pier → lunch in Ninglang → return to Lijiang.

If you like Lugu Lake, you can stay one more day. The sea view room in Lige is still very good.

Shangri-La, Meili Snow Mountain 4 days: D1: Departure at 7:30 am → First Bend of the Yangtze River → Yi Village Observation Deck? → Via Xiaozhongdian → Shangri-La Lunch? → Shangri-La Dukezong Moonlight Ancient City Tour (The largest prayer wheel in the world) → Baiji Temple (about 45 minutes of round-trip hiking)

D2: Early departure from Shangri-La → Ila Grassland Napa Sea → Lunch at Benzilan Town → Jinsha River The first turn (Moon Moon Bay) → Dongzhulin Temple (the earliest temple in Kham District) → Pass the Baima Snow Mountain Pass (4292 meters above sea level) → Check in at Feilai Temple

D4: Benzilan → via Shangri-La → Hiking in the Tiger Jumping Gorge (it takes about 3 hours to go up and down the mountain road. If it is rainy season and you can’t go to Tiger Leaping Gorge, you can go up Tiger Leaping Gorge instead) → Return to Lijiang around 19:00.

The last day will be spent in Lijiang Old Town, buying and selling local products, basking in the sun and drinking coffee, before preparing for the return trip.

About the cost:

For pure fun, we will calculate the cost for you according to the group tour: a two-day trip to Lugu Lake is 800 yuan, and a four-day trip to Meili is 1,500 yuan. The rest is room, board and other expenses.

Everyone has different standards for food and accommodation. The medium consumption here is 300 per day. It's more expensive if you want to go to the bar.

If you want to bring gifts to friends or family, you need to prepare some additional funds.

To sum up, the cost ranges from 5,000 to 10,000 yuan.

(If you are traveling on a budget, there will be another plan, which may cost around 2,500 in ten days)

There are many inns in Lijiang. You can book in advance on Qunar and Ctrip. One night, if you stay well, you can extend your stay. If you don't, you can change. Accommodation during the Spring Festival is still very expensive, twice the usual price. Be mentally prepared.

Warm story: The weather in Lijiang has been fine recently, but the temperature difference between morning and evening is large. Please keep warm at night. I wish you a pleasant trip.
