I want to travel to Lijiang in the next two days. Is there anything I need to pay attention to?

Because there are more flights to Lijiang, many donkeys will choose to fly to Lijiang and return to Kunming.

The ancient city ONEDAY, those must-visit places

In Dayan Ancient City, can you feel as comfortable as the locals? Go to the Wangu Tower to listen to the chirping of birds, chat with an old man from Lijiang, find an alley of your own, visit a hermit or madman, take a sip of Lijiang well water, and enter a courtyard to feel dazed. Slow down, soak up the sun, and relax.

Closing your eyes and resting in the study room of the inn, letting the warm sunshine shine on your body, or hiding in a cafe, drinking a cup of coffee, writing a paragraph, and being in a daze quietly. Let the time slip away quietly, I only feel that the years are quiet and good. If you are a foodie, you can also spend a day walking through the alleys in the ancient city to find your favorite taste. You can’t miss Lijiang Baba, Naxi grilled fish, salmon, black goat hot pot, butter tea, and chickpea jelly.

The most literary and artistic Wuyi Street

Yes, Wuyi Street. Wuyi Street is Lijiang's 798, which is very artistic. Compared with other wholesale street shops, Wuyi Street is more unique. Clothing stores and jewelry stores mostly sell art works made by individuals. In addition, this street is also the Qingba Street in Lijiang, including the famous July, I'll Wait for You in Lijiang, No. 38, Shuiboliangshan, Yumei, etc. These bars usually have their own special drinks, and the singers play and sing by themselves.

The snack bars on Wuyi Street are also relatively authentic and famous, including the previously introduced A'an Yogurt, No. 88 Snack Bar, October Sour Plum Soup, etc., all on this street. Wuyi Street is suitable for people who like individuality, petty bourgeoisie and art. It is at the fork of Sifang Street, just past the Big Stone Bridge.

See all the lights in the Eternal Building

Take advantage of the early morning to go for a morning run. My most recommended route is to start from my hometown, go all the way to the sound of spring water, cross Wuyi Street, pass Sifang Street, climb the Lion Rock, and reach the Wangu Tower. At dusk, drink a cup of tea at the Wangu Tower and watch the lanterns of the ancient city come on. The feeling of where the countryside is.

Wangu Tower is the highest point of the ancient city (requires 15 yuan entrance fee and 80 yuan Guwei fee). The Lion Rock Mountain Road is particularly quiet. If you want to experience the feeling of seeing the new city in the ancient city, you can also find someone to walk the mountain road. Up the hill from Sifang Street, there is a nice cafe, Two Cat Cafe, with a panoramic view and a nice atmosphere.

Pilgrimage to the architectural essence of Lijiang, Mufu and Big Stone Bridge

Mufu is the residence of Mr. Mu in Lijiang. People say it is the Little Forbidden City. You can go in and take a look at the architecture in Lijiang, which is quite representative. This brilliant architectural art garden fully embodies the simple and rugged style of Ming Dynasty architecture. Based on the architectural style of the Central Plains in the Ming Dynasty, it incorporates various elements of the Naxi and Bai ethnic groups. It is a local craft style, and at the same time, it is a garden where famous trees, ancient trees, and exotic flowers and plants from the Naxi Ancient Kingdom gather together.

Tickets are 45 yuan, which can be bought at the inn (there are 30 tickets on Taobao, but you have to get the tickets). If you go to the Mufu gate to buy the tickets yourself, it will cost 60 yuan. Those places with a bit of history, such as Dashiqiao and Sifang Street, are a little past and walk towards Wuyi Street. The bridge was built by Chieftain Mu of the Ming Dynasty and is a double-hole stone arch bridge. The large stone bridge has carried business travel and market exchanges in the ancient city for hundreds of years, and is the first of the bridges in the ancient city. Wandering singers like to sing here, and most tourists also like to stop and rest here. It is one of the liveliest stone bridges

The Zhongyi Market with the most lifelike atmosphere

Yes, in Lijiang, I What I like most is this large-scale farmers’ wholesale market composed of local people.

Here is a living world composed of local people. You can see the most simple Lijiang under the commercial appearance. It is no exaggeration to say that Zhongyi Market is the cultural soul of the ancient city. Here you can see all kinds of exotic flowers and fruits that are not common in the mainland, all kinds of strange things, and Naxi women wearing traditional Naxi costumes. Here, I was also lucky enough to see the "soy sauce shop" that had disappeared for a long time, and I felt very friendly.

When visiting Zhongyi Market, you must go early, because the market usually opens after 6 o'clock, and by 8 or 9 o'clock, most locals have completed their transactions and gone home. Therefore, it is recommended to go to Zhongyi Market at 7 o'clock in the morning.

When you come to Zhongyi Market, you can’t miss the fruits produced in Lijiang, such as apples and citrus, which are especially sweet because of the abundant sunshine. Another thing you can’t miss in Zhongyi Market is the local specialty breakfast. Local people usually eat casserole rice noodles, dada, etc. for breakfast, which are not expensive.

The essence of Lijiang is Jade Dragon Snow Mountain and Lashihai

Yes, Jade Dragon Snow Mountain is definitely the essence of Lijiang’s attractions. One-day tours are available locally. Departure at approximately 7 am and return to the ancient city at 4 pm. When the weather is nice on the mountain, watching "Impression of Lijiang" directed by Zhang Yimou, with the snow-capped mountains as the backdrop, is really shocking. Lashihai is located on the outskirts of Lijiang. You can ride horses and row boats. The scenery is pleasant, but be careful with medical care here. Was exposed by CCTV.

Quietly singing the most popular folk songs in Lijiang Bar Street

I personally don’t like the noisy bar street. Of course, quite a few people would die without a lively nightlife when going out. For many people looking for fun, it is very cute, with ethnic performances, wine auctions, fragrant clothes, and waves of antiphonal songs and cheers. The romantic encounter in Lijiang is so popular that many people think it should be XXOO. And I am very disappointed to tell you that there are only two types of people you know in this type of bar. One is those who come to Lijiang for a one-night stand (of course, you are lucky if you meet them), and the other is a professional bartender.

If you always want to find something to do at night, in addition to the lively bar street, I would rather recommend the Qingba on Wuyi Street. The more famous ones are: Lijiang’s Huotang Bar (people who have been in Lijiang for a long time prefer to go there), July (original folk songs), I’m Waiting for You in Lijiang, Jianghu, No. 38, and Banshan Huotang.
