Is the travel experience in Lijiang, Yunnan really as bad as what is spread on the Internet?
First answer: It’s just so unbearable.
Although all aspects of Lijiang are now gradually standardized after tourism management, what tourists can see is only a packaged tourist city.
I dare say that I have never seen 90% of the so-called Lijiang food and Lijiang characteristics in the ancient city.
The real specialties of Lijiang Old Town, such as Lijiang Baba, chickpea jelly, rice enema, etc., well, this is indeed the original. But the point is, it's not delicious. Yes, that’s what I say as a local. It’s really impossible for a small ethnic minority place like Lijiang to have any amazing food (no discrimination to be honest, I’m a Naxi myself). I often travel around just to eat delicious food from different places. I really don’t think there is anything special about Lijiang. We rarely eat cured pork ribs at home, and generally eat more in rural areas. After all, in the past, bacon was the best way to preserve pork after killing it. The locals say that the cured pork ribs in restaurants are something that even flies dare not bite.
Of course, if you just want to try something new, you can ask a local friend to take you to a local banquet, such as eight large bowls. There is also the legendary Sandiaoshui where Mu's toast entertains distinguished guests, but not many people do this now. (Don’t expect too much, the taste is just like that)
As for barbecue, I think the barbecue in Yunnan is quite delicious. Different places have different tastes, but you have to choose the right restaurant.
Let’s talk about the ancient city. If it weren’t for errands or something, I would definitely not have the idea of ????wanting to visit the ancient city. As soon as I reached the big water truck, I started to feel annoyed, there were so many people, and there were all the same shops. By the way, you didn’t want to visit the ancient city just to see the ancient buildings or something, but now you can see just different shops.
So, is the ancient city ancient? Is it worth going? My suggestion is, if you have limited time and just want to walk around here, you really won’t see much. But if you can stay in Lijiang for a few days, and then visually block those shops, and carefully observe the bricks and tiles in the corners, looking for courtyards that have not been renovated, you may still make some interesting discoveries. But to be honest, the Old Town of Lijiang does not have a history of 800 or even 1,000 years as the tour guide claims. Any small town in the south of the Yangtze River can crush the ancient town of Lijiang. Professionally related, I can talk a lot about the history of the ancient city. I will discuss it again next time I have the opportunity.
In short, it is not recommended to travel to Lijiang in a hurry and just see the flowers. If you want to come, don't be too purposeful, stay for a few days, you may find it more interesting.
As for the scenic spots, different people have different opinions. For example, I saw in the answers that some people think Lashihai is a scam, while others think Lashihai is quite good. For me, there is only one pleasure in Lashihai, which is to see birds in autumn and winter. Friends who are interested can search on Baidu.
As for being cheated in Lijiang as mentioned in many answers, well, this phenomenon exists, and there may be quite a few. Before the rectification of the tourism market, all the farmers in the rural areas around Lijiang made money by taking rebates. They could get rebates for taking you by car, shopping for you, staying in hotels, and you could also get rebates for tickets to some scenic spots. Not to mention tour guides, who have more channels. But to be honest, now that the whole of Yunnan is regulating tourism, I have basically never heard of these phenomena. There may be some, but at least they are not as arrogant as before.
Finally, if I want to talk about my hometown, everyone is welcome to experience it for yourself.
