What should you pay attention to when traveling to Lijiang Ancient Town?

Hello! Oak Park Inn has the answer for you. When traveling to Lijiang, you need to pay attention to sun protection. The ultraviolet rays in Lijiang are relatively strong, so you need to pay attention to your diet. I found that many people are not used to eating Naxi food in Lijiang. Also pay attention to keep warm. The temperature difference between morning and evening in Lijiang is relatively large.

About Lijiang’s tourist attractions and strategies

Umbrellas are indispensable in terms of equipment. It can rain at any time during the rainy season, but when it rains, the sun shines instantly. Therefore, it is wise to carry an umbrella with you. Even if you want to have a cool tan, don’t pin your hopes on the Lijiang sun. It can really hurt you. So sunglasses and sunscreen are also must-haves. Don't think you are a man. Don’t wear sunscreen or you’ll look bad.

Ladies, please don’t wear high heels, because there are stone roads everywhere in Lijiang. It is not uncommon to see the pained expression of a smug person sitting at the door. If you must wear them, I recommend wearing wedges. It is best for men not to wear hiking shoes. The soles of hiking shoes are relatively hard and will be slippery when walking on the stone road. If you want to participate in outdoor activities, in addition to hiking shoes, you can bring a pair of casual shoes or simply wear the shoes from the hotel.

If you want to go to Meili or Yubeng, hiking shoes are essential. However, after entering Yubeng, the road became muddy. Therefore, it is recommended to abandon the more expensive shoes and buy a few pairs of military rubber, which are sold in the ancient city market for more than ten yuan a pair. They are economical and practical. You can change it when you get off the car and walk into Yubeng, and throw it away after wearing it.

It is recommended not to bring suitcases in Lijiang. Those with wheels are often towed on the stone road. It's best to use a backpack.

Aspects

If the itinerary can be confirmed, it is recommended to book a round-trip air ticket, especially during the peak season of July and August. Air tickets from Lijiang are very expensive.

If it’s your first time coming to Yunnan. It is recommended to transfer in Kunming so that you can quickly visit Kunming and Dali. 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 night bus or train to Kunming, which saves time and money. There aren't many places worth visiting in Kunming, it's just a city. If you have time, you can go to the Stone Forest to see it. It will take about a day. Dali is suitable for long-term stays and passing by. There is no need to stay for two or three days. If you have a lot of time to waste, you might as well stay in Dali for a long time, because it is relatively quiet compared to Dali, Lijiang. If you don't I don't have that much time to waste, you can go through it in three or four hours.

Whether you are flying or driving, you have finally arrived at Lijiang Old Town. If you are coming by plane, I suggest you make a reservation in advance. 50 yuan for the ancient city. It’s best to ask the innkeeper who made the reservation for you to make the reservation for you, so that the driver can deliver it directly to the inn. Don't look around, it's easy to get lost in this ancient city. If you come by bus, you may encounter two situations. First of all, when you arrive at the new passenger terminal, Juhu South Gate is less than two kilometers away. Then you can take bus No. 1 or 4, get off at Zhongyi Market, and enter the ancient city from Zhongyi Market. It is recommended that you do not take a taxi. Although you have money, motor vehicles are not allowed in the ancient city, so taking a taxi is no different than taking the bus. Moreover, there are very few buses in Lijiang, and most of them have seats. The second is to get off at the Naxi Hotel at the BRT station on Shangri-La Avenue. You can take bus 3-8, which is a small bus, or you can take Loyalty Market. If you come by train, there is no No. 13 bus from the train station to the north gate of the ancient city, which is the famous waterwheel.

There are two situations in Lijiang, one is vacation and the other is tourism.

I'm not about the holidays, I don't need to say more. The daily content basically consists of sleeping, basking in the sun, and being in a daze. If you are traveling, in addition to Lijiang City itself, there are two situations. One is a route that can return to the ancient city on the same day, and the other is a route that requires a group tour.

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

I prefer Shuhe to Lijiang. At first I wanted to open an inn in Shuhe. After some ideological struggle and on-the-spot investigation, I finally gave up. There are fewer people in Shuhe, it is quiet, things are cheap, there are more bars than pubs, and it is not as noisy as the bar street in Lijiang. Attention friends who go to Shuhe. There are entrance and valley fees charged from time to time, usually during high season, but it's easy to evade the fare, so it's best to discuss it with the hotel owner before you go. Take a taxi from Lijiang Old Town Waterwheel. The most you can spend is fifteen yuan. There are many trees in the river and a tavern. At the widest water's edge, there is a singer singing at two o'clock. Afternoon clock. Sitting by the water, warm in the sun, listening to light music, you can while away an afternoon. Baisha Ancient Town has the famous Baisha murals. As for how good it is, I don't know. Since I haven't been there yet, few people choose to go there. The ancient town is basically undeveloped and has nothing to see, but many outsiders like it.

If you choose a one-day trip to Laohu Gorge, you have two options, one is Tigging Tiger and the other is Leaping Tiger. Tickets are 50. The bus to Hutiao costs 22 yuan. Get off at Qiaotou and transfer to a minibus. The ticket price seems to be about 20 yuan. Generally speaking, it is more cost-effective to join a group, whether it is jumping on the tiger or jumping into the tiger's belly.

Yulong Mountain is very beautiful in winter and early spring. You can look at Zhang Yimou’s impression of Lijiang, which is quite shocking.

In Haila Wetland Park, the main entertainment projects are horse riding and boating. There are more tourists than tourists in the ancient city. Don't believe their lobbying. If you really want to go, I can contact the innkeeper for you. There are familiar racecourses. If the price is higher than 300, it is recommended to consider carefully. If it’s above 400, don’t I don’t go at all and get another car.

You can choose to ride a beach motorcycle to Wenhai. It’s very exciting and fun, too. This is also a day trip. The whole journey takes about five hours, and there are highways and mountain roads. The young man suggested giving it a try. The scenery along the way was very good.

In the second case, there are three routes: Lijiang-Shangri-La-Meili-Yubeng Lijiang-Lugu Lake Lijiang-Daocheng Yading.

From Lijiang to the Yubeng front line, you can choose Yubeng according to your own time. If you have enough time and energy, it is recommended to choose Yubeng. The six-day trip was truly beautiful. If you don't know, search online for photos. It's too much trouble to post pictures here, so I win you don't have to do that. If you are pressed for time, you can choose a four-day trip to Meili. If you are lucky, you can see the Rizhao Jinshan Mountain, which is very spectacular. In the eyes of Meili Tibetans, it is an invincible mountain. Many years ago, a Japanese mountaineering team attempted to reach the summit, but all of them died. Some attempts were made later, but without success. From a materialistic point of view, 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. You can take the bus directly in Lijiang, and the fare is about 40 yuan. On the way, the first bend of the Yangtze River and the Tiger Leaping Gorge may not be possible. It is recommended to join a group, preferably a senior outdoor team in Lijiang. Although the price is higher, the trip will be enjoyable. If you want to save money, choose a regular tour. However, you are in a conceited mood when you are with this group, and shopping is a must. Of course, you don’t have to buy it, but it depends on the tour guide. It is best to have enough time to swim in the rain, because if you just walk to Meili, it is equivalent to halfway, and the most beautiful scenery is in the rain.

Lijiang can go to Lugu Lake for two or three days. Like Shangri-La, you can choose to go alone or join a tour group first. It is recommended that you choose to travel independently. Round-trip fares range from 140 yuan to 1,000 yuan. Those who travel for two days can stay one night in the Rig, and those who travel for three days can stay one night in the water. The road to Lugu Lake is difficult and takes about seven or eight hours one way.

The journey from Lijiang to Daocheng Yading takes six days.

That's all I can think of right now. I'll add anything that comes to mind. I hope it will be helpful to friends who want to come to Lijiang. If you are unclear, please ask me at 138[881712].

I wish you a pleasant trip to Lijiang!
