There are many good scenic spots in the middle, such as the First Bay of the Yangtze River, Tiger Leaping Gorge and Little Zhongdian Flower Sea. Go on road trip has more freedom and controllable itinerary, so you can visit these good scenic spots. It is particularly inconvenient to go to these scenic spots by public transport. First, because the public transportation time is fixed, your travel is very passive. Second, it is not safe. There is no direct bus to Tiger Leaping Gorge Scenic Area, so it is not safe for you to change to a van on the way. I suggest you pack a car.

Why is carpooling better than driving from Lijiang to Shangri-La?

Experienced old drivers in go on road trip should automatically ignore this rule.

Newcomers are not familiar with the road conditions; From Lijiang to Song Yuan Bridge in Shangri-La Development Zone, the whole journey is high-speed, but the development zone to Xiaozhongdian is a secondary asphalt road, with long uphill road, narrow bend, poor road condition and many carts coming and going; From Lijiang to Shangri-La, the altitude gradually rises. If you drive, you can't drive at all after altitude sickness, which seriously threatens your own safety.

Model price Taxi, car 500 yuan/day (near the city) 7-9-seat tourist commercial vehicle: 600 yuan/day 1 1 seat: 800 yuan/day off-road vehicle.

Short distance: 800 yuan/day long distance: 1, 000 yuan/day tip 1. Shangri-la believes in Tibetan Buddhism. When you enter Tibetan areas, you should respect the culture and beliefs of Tibetan people, and don't talk about sensitive issues such as politics and religion. Don't go to see the Tibetan celestial burial; When Tibetans offer Hada, they should put their hands together and keep their heads down, so that Tibetans can wear it around their necks and can't take it off immediately. Enter the temple with your left foot and leave with your right foot. Don't step on the threshold. You should take off your hat and visit the temple clockwise. Don't make noise, touch the Buddha statue or litter in the Buddhist temple, and don't video or take photos in the Buddhist temple without permission. It is forbidden to point to Buddha statues, Thangka, scriptures and murals with your fingers, but point up with your palm to show your respect; Don't touch the heads of Tibetans casually.

When sleeping at night, put a pot of boiling water in the room and open the lid to increase the humidity of the air and relieve the discomfort caused by the dry climate in the plateau.

3. Will Shangri-La have altitude sickness? The answer is not everyone will have it, so don't be nervous. The average elevation of Shangri-La is around 3300. Generally speaking, when people in the plain quickly enter the plateau above 3000m, altitude sickness will occur. Most people should go by car from Lijiang or Dali, so the body will have an adaptation process and the probability of altitude sickness is low. Self-relaxation and psychological suggestion, look at the scenery along the way and divert attention. Under normal circumstances, the symptoms of discomfort will gradually disappear. But if the reaction is particularly serious, it must be sent to a nearby hospital for treatment as soon as possible. If it has not been alleviated, it is necessary to evacuate to the plain as soon as possible. Doing a good job of keeping warm, avoiding catching a cold and having a good rest can make you better adapt to the plateau environment.
