How long does it take from Lijiang to Shangri-La by bus? Is there a tour bus?

Yunnan Tortoise and Rabbit Travel Franchise Store will answer your questions:

First, passenger cars. Lijiang-Shangri-La doesn't stop on the bus, but goes directly to Shangri-La County, which takes about 4 hours by car. In this way, you will miss the scenic spots on the road (Tiger Leaping Gorge, Ira Grassland, Dukezong Ancient City and Xiaozhongdian Ranch), which means you can only go to Songzanlin Temple and Pudacuo National Park, and your travel experience will be greatly reduced.

B, chartered car (carpooling). If there are enough people, chartered cars are a good choice, and the master will follow them all the way.

Note: Never pay attention to soliciting customers by the roadside! It's easy to meet a black car driver or a tourist trap, and there will be endless troubles! Don't be tempted by low-priced "chartered cars" and "carpooling". Some will recommend consumption, some will add money halfway, and some will just pick up and drop off, not following halfway. They will have to pay more for the car, or even change the car for the master the next day and the third day, and choose a regular travel company to charter a car. Teammates are very important, so be careful when playing online games together. It's best to go out to play with familiar friends. Chartered cars and carpooling are all followed. Within the scope of the route, tourists are free to control the car.

C, with pure play group. Needless to say, right? If you don't want to suffer indignities with the group, choose the pure play group. Learn to calculate the cost, and you can find all the expenses online. If the tour fee is lower than the cost price, please don't quote. The ancient city is full of 2,400 Shangri-La 2-day tours, and it is also advertised as pure play. What a shame. In a couple of days, there are Tiger Leaping Gorge, Songzanlin Temple and Pudacuo in Joeri. You can choose this group tour first, and avoid going directly to these scenic spots after going to Shangri-La, which will be more troublesome.

Tips: Because Yunnan is located in the plateau, the temperature difference between morning and evening is relatively large, so you should bring a thick coat and some cool clothes when you come to Yunnan in any season. Lijiang's ultraviolet rays are also relatively strong, and sunglasses, sunscreen and moisturizing cream are indispensable. Pay attention to sun protection!
