I plan to travel to Yunnan with my girlfriend next year, and the route is the familiar Kunming-Dali-Lijiang-Shangri-La

When you go to Lijiang from other places, you usually go to Kunming first, and then you can go all the way from Kunming to Lijiang via Dali, and then go to Shangri-La.

This route is along the way, it doesn’t matter in which order. You can spend one day in Kunming and Dali, a few more days in Lijiang, and then Shangri-La. For accommodation, you can stay in an inn in the ancient city, which usually costs around 100. If you want to be more economical, you can also stay in a youth hostel.

As for sightseeing tours, you can arrange a day in Lijiang to wander around the ancient city, eat delicious food, and enjoy the scenery.

The next day you can go boating and horseback riding in Lashihai to watch birds. There will be tens of thousands of migratory birds this season. If time permits, you can also go to Shuhe Ancient Town.

On the third day, you can go to Jade Dragon Snow Mountain and other scenic spots along the route. Take the ropeway and wait for the snow-capped mountains, watch the Lijiang Impression show, and visit the Glacier Park.

Arrange 2-3 days to go to Shangri-La, Meili Snow Mountain, etc.

You can have fun on your own near the ancient city, or you can find an outdoor club for fun at distant attractions.
