How much does it cost to travel to Lijiang, Yunnan by yourself~

Generally, people who come to Lijiang want to experience the ancient city of Lijiang and the beauty of the surrounding scenery. Naturally, I also recommend that everyone stay in Lijiang for a while, but everyone has their own arrangements, and there is no unified summary. Some people may just want to enjoy the soft time in Lijiang and relax after work. But now that I'm here, I still deserve this trip and go to places worth visiting. My attitude is not to look at it from a distance and not to play with it.

Now only Shenzhen, Chengdu, Chongqing, Kunming, and Banna can fly directly to Lijiang. Others need to stop in Kunming. The same is true for trains. Most of them need to transfer in Kunming. So let’s first assume we start from Kunming.

Personally, I think there is nothing interesting in Kunming, it is just a city. The so-called Stone Forest and Dianchi Lake are no longer what they used to be. The Dianchi Lake pollution problem is serious, and the fees for Stone Forest are too high and the gap is too big. You can try Crossing the Bridge Rice Noodles, but I also remind you that with the development of tourism, it seems that local people need to bring real and non-gimmick Crossing Bridge Rice Noodles. You can also skip it and go to Dali.

Dali is actually much better than I imagined (everyone’s imagination is different, so that’s another matter). Some people like Dali, and some people like Lijiang. I think I am the one who likes Dali more. Don't rush past Dali. It is an idyllic place. Erhai Lake is not far away, and you can feel the wind blowing from the sea every day. Turning to the topic, there are three places worth visiting in Dali: the ancient city, Erhai Lake (Shuanglang Town Peninsula), and Cangshan Mountain. In the ancient city, if you like noisy things, you can live in the center of the city. If you like quiet, you can live in a remote part of the ancient city. I went to live in Dali. It is Qinqian Inn, which is about ten minutes’ walk away from the center of the ancient city. I stayed in this inn by chance, but I was quite pleasantly surprised when I went there. It is cheap (60 standard rooms) and clean. It is surrounded by residential areas, especially The toilet is very comfortable, and it is also very convenient to take a bus to Lijiang. The bus can be picked up at the door. In Shuanglang Town on the Erhai Lake, find an inn near the sea, blow the sea breeze, look at the mountains opposite, and bask in the sun. It is really comfortable, but the housing prices are naturally on the expensive side. For example, at Peninsula No. 63, the photos of sea view rooms are the best on the Internet. Attention. Cangshan, it’s great to be able to climb to the top, but don’t climb to the top alone. Even taking the cableway up is very worthwhile. Zhonghe Temple halfway up Cangshan is worth a visit, overlooking the ancient city and Erhai Lake. It is recommended to stay for 2 to 3 days. (For those who want to eat milk fans, you will have to eat enough in Dali. Lijiang does not sell them, so they hide them and eat them themselves)

Lijiang

1. Ancient City Generally speaking, tour guides in group tours will take you to Mufu, Wangu Tower, Sifang Street in the ancient city, and even randomly pick a spring to blow you off (sigh, it’s sad how Chinese tour guides have developed to this point), but Personally, I think these are not very interesting ways to play, just like a certain square or a certain museum in most cities. Usually when you search for guides online, you won’t find many recommendations for these places. When you arrive at the ancient city, you can just walk around by yourself. One day is enough. There are nearly 3,000 inns in the ancient city, and many of them open and close every day. With such fierce competition, it is conceivable that the conditions of most inns are not bad. Let me recommend you the one I have stayed in. I have stayed in three inns, Tongyuan Inn, but the place was relatively small, the price was not cheap, and the sunlight was not available, so I moved. I moved to the Pomegranate Well Inn and stayed there for one day. I heard about a friend’s Soft Time opposite Pomegranate Well, so I moved to the Soft Time Inn opposite, and then I stayed there for a long time...

2 ., Lashihai, Shuhe: You can arrange a comprehensive day. You can see migratory birds in Lashihai in winter. Now the lake surface management of Lashihai is getting better and better. In spring and summer, you can see the sea of ??flowers, horse riding and boating. Shuhe is not big and does not require a day, so you can spend a day with Lashihai. Compared with the ancient city, Shuhe is quieter and has more natural atmosphere, such as cow dung and flies, which are rare in the ancient city. less than. You can also spend a day alone to ride a bicycle to Shuhe. I recommend this! Have fun and find some friends. There are also large tracts of rapeseed flowers on the roadside in March and April, which is refreshing and good for the body.

3. Jade Dragon Snow Mountain: Ganhaizi, Baishui Terrace, Yunshanping. Some people suggest viewing Jade Dragon Snow Mountain from a distance, which can be done in the ancient city. Those who like to go up close can take the cableway up. Jade Dragon Snow Mountain has a large cableway, a middle cableway, and a small cableway. Group tours usually take the large cableway, and the scenery is dominated by glaciers. From the middle ropeway to Maoniuping, there is an open alpine meadow. Take the small ropeway to Yunshanping, which is said to be the place where the first couple in Naxi died in love.

The Tiger Leaping Gorge is divided into Upper Tiger Leaping, Middle Tiger Leaping and Lower Tiger Leaping Gorge, which can be hiked or chartered. Generally, those who go to Tiger Leaping Gorge are hiking enthusiasts, and there are many foreigners. Tiger Leaping Gorge is not as dangerous as outsiders say. Zhonghutiao is the place with the best scenery, so many people only go to Zhonghutiao. Even those who join the group will only go as far as Shanghutiao, and some even return before they reach Shanghutiao. You need to do your best before coming here! Be careful when traveling with a group! There are accommodations all the way (halfway, Shanbailian Hotel, Shanquan Hotel, Teacher Zhang's House, Tina's, etc.), so you can rest assured that you can hike from Qiaotou Town to Xiahutiao. Warm reminder: After passing Hutiao, you will reach Dajü, and after Dajü, you will reach Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. There is no ticket required to go to Jade Dragon Snow Mountain from here. Free friends can arrange Tiger Leaping Gorge and Jade Dragon Snow Mountain on the same route. . You can find the hiking map of Tiger Leaping Gorge online.

Shangri-La When going to Shangri-La, there are two places to see: one is Songzanlin Temple, the other is Pudacuo National Park, and there is an ancient city. If you can go further, you can also visit Biyang Canyon.

1. Songzanlin Temple: Also known as Guihua Temple, it is located at the foot of Foping Mountain 5 kilometers north of Shangri-La. It is not only the largest Tibetan Buddhist temple community in Yunnan, but also the center of Yellow Buddhism in Sichuan and Yunnan, known as the "Little Potala Palace". There are buses from Shangri-La County directly to the scenic spots, and the fare is 2 yuan. You can also take bus No. 3 directly to the scenic spot. The parking lot is opposite the temple gate. A taxi in Shangri-La County costs 10 yuan. Tickets are 30 yuan.

2. Pudacuo National Park: There are mirror-like mountain lakes, pastures with beautiful water and abundant grass, wetlands with blooming flowers, and birds and animals that often appear. The ticket is so expensive, 190! Do you think it’s worth it? Normal people don’t need oxygen. The tour guide will recommend buying oxygen for the safety of tourists. Make your own decision!

3. Biyang Canyon: Shangri-La Grand Canyon is a group of canyons dominated by Biyang Canyon. The shuttle buses from Shangri-La to Xiangcheng, Daocheng and Dongwang all pass through Biyang Canyon around 12 o'clock. Charter a round trip from Shangri-La County, 300 yuan (Santana). It takes 3-4 hours to go, 2 hours to enter and leave the canyon, 3-4 hours to return, and the ticket is 20.

4. Blue Moon Valley is Shika Snow Mountain. If you have been to Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, you don’t need to go to this place.

I won’t introduce the ancient city, it’s pretty much the same!

The road conditions in Lugu Lake are good now. It takes a day from Lijiang to Lugu Lake. The bus booked at Lijiang Inn usually goes to Lige Peninsula, and the bus from the high-speed bus station goes to Daluoshuixia. It is recommended that you spend a day traveling around Lugu Lake. Before traveling around, you should know the route to avoid getting lost. When chartering a car around the lake, you should also find out where the driver is taking you around the lake. There are different places. Don't think too mysteriously about the Mosuo people. They are no different from us now. In addition, every part of Lugu Lake is beautiful. Don’t give up on the road you should take just because you dislike commercialization.

Meili Snow Mountain has continuous glaciers and patches of frozen soil. It is a favorite place for mountaineers. Meili Snow Mountain is 6,740 meters above sea level and is the highest peak in Yunnan Province. Every year in late autumn and early winter, a large number of pilgrims from Tibet, Qinghai, Sichuan and Ganxiao come to worship at all costs. The scene of climbing mountains is breathtaking. Meili Snow Mountain is also a paradise for hikers. There are hiking routes within Meili Snow Mountain, from Meili Snow Mountain to Bingzhongluo, and from Meili Snow Mountain to Bingzhongluo. The best season to view Meili Snow Mountain is winter and spring from January to May, and the end of October to March of next year may be the best season to see the Rizhao Golden Summit. In summer and autumn, clouds and fog often cover the mountains, making it difficult to see the panoramic view of the snow peaks. , generally in the early morning when the sun just comes out, it is easier to see the snow-capped mountains. The other is the famous Yubeng Village, which has a divine waterfall and a base camp.

The most comfortable way to go from Shangri-La to Meili Snow Mountain is to charter a car, passing through: Nixi, Benzilan, Dongzhulin Temple, Baimang Snow Mountain, Deqin County, Feilai Temple, and finally to Mingyong Glacier. The scenery along the way is very good. If you pass Feilai Temple in the evening, you may also see the beautiful Meili sunset. Before chartering a car, you should negotiate the price with the driver, and be sure to confirm the destination and itinerary clearly in advance to reduce unnecessary trouble. Meili Snow Mountain is also under construction of roads recently.
