If I want to go to Lijiang at the end of the month, is it better to go with a group or go alone? What do I need to bring? There are estimated to be 8 adults and children

I have two suggestions for coming to Lijiang Ancient Town. One is not to join a tour group, and the other is not to stay in a hotel or hotel-style inn, because you are here to travel and not to recuperate. You are here to experience Naxi characteristics. Not a high-end hotel in Shanghai. When visiting Lijiang, it is recommended to stay in an inn in the ancient city. The price is relatively low, but the folk customs you enjoy are absolutely worth it. If you come to Lijiang Old Town and stay in a hotel outside the ancient city, it is really a waste of time to come to Lijiang.

The best way to get to Lijiang from other places is to fly directly to Kunming, and then transfer to Kunming by train to Lijiang. You can get on the train at night and get some sleep before arriving in Lijiang the next morning. Train tickets can now be purchased online. It's quite convenient. You don’t have to worry about what to do when you come to Lijiang. In addition to lounging in the sun, clubbing and chatting, you may not be able to visit all the scenic spots around Lijiang. Now it is more suitable to visit Lashi Haiyulong Snow Mountain, Lugu Lake Meili Snow Mountain, and specific itinerary combinations can be found at After arriving in Lijiang, we will make specific arrangements based on our own physical strength, energy, time and expenses.

When traveling to Lijiang, of course you should stay at a Lijiang Inn, not for anything else but to experience the authentic Naxi folk houses and the simple, quiet and sunny Naxi courtyard. At Lijiang Inn, you have the opportunity to meet friends from all over the world, travel together, cook together, or have a drink with friends. You can come to our inn elsewhere. The transportation is very convenient. It's only two or three minutes away from Sifang Street. It's a completely quiet location in the middle of the hustle and bustle.

If you want to eat, I recommend Shipotian Jianghu Restaurant on Wuyi Street in the ancient city. Its technical level is relatively stable, especially its Guojiang Eggplant, Tomato Beef, Spiced Chicken Wings, Sizzling Tofu, and Spicy Chicken. Yes, the braised pork trotters are even more delicious.

Lijiang is sunny every day now, and it’s very comfortable to bask in the sun. It gets cold in the morning and evening and you need a thin jacket. Long sleeves are fine at noon! Also, Lijiang’s ultraviolet rays are relatively strong, so you can bring sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat.
