What should you pay attention to when traveling to Lijiang?

There are some differences between going for two or three days and going for a week. If you go to Lijiang for a week, you still need to prepare some things thoroughly. In addition, there are many delicious food in Lijiang, and you can also taste a few Naxi snacks. There are also many activities in Lijiang, so you can spend a few days here.

Package

This depends on the time of your trip. If it’s only for two or three days, you don’t need to bring a lot of things. If it is about a week, friends can refer to it.

1. Backpack. Don’t think that bringing a suitcase is enough. I personally still need a backpack. You can take a lot of things with you when you go out. If you're going with a group, at least one person has a backpack. The size of the backpack depends on the distance, and the load-bearing capacity must be strong; in addition, when buying a backpack, be sure to try it on and ask the store clerk about the correct usage of the backpack, otherwise you may not be able to reduce the weight or even burden during the trip.

2. Pay attention to shoes. Generally this does not need to be reminded. Girls don’t look good in high heels if they’re not going on a road trip. Shoes should be more important than a backpack. The last time I went I was wearing regular sneakers.

3. Personal clothing. The ultraviolet rays in Yunnan are very strong. It is recommended to wear long johns. If it’s too hot in summer, bring sunscreen, a hat, lipstick, sunscreen, skin care products, toiletries, sunglasses, etc. I personally bring toothpaste and a towel. My gums bleed every time I brush them at the hotel.

4. Drugs. You need to have the following regular medicines: Huoluo Zhengqi water, Huoluo oil/safflower oil, cooling oil/fengyoujing, Yunnan Baiyao (powder, spray), cismin, alcohol, erythromycin ointment, bandage gauze, band-aid, snake medicine, cold medicine.

5. Certificate. ID card, other documents, and money haha.

: Things to note when traveling to Lijiang

1. Yunnan has a large temperature difference between morning and evening (10-28 degrees Celsius). Please pay attention to your clothes to prevent catching cold.

2. Lijiang and Zhongdian are at high altitudes, so be careful to rest and prevent altitude sickness.

3. When riding horses or taking photos with yaks at your own expense in Lijiang and Zhongdian, please also pay attention to safety, follow the owner's instructions, and do not behave in a way that scares the animals to avoid harm to yourself. Please pay attention to safety when traveling and do not shoot or climb in dangerous areas, such as the waterside of Lijiang Old Town, the bridge or the cliff of Tiger Leaping Gorge.

4. Pay attention to local food (local tastes are mainly hot and sour, with mostly cold dishes). If you can’t eat it, prepare some for yourself.

5. When purchasing tourist souvenirs and local specialties, please compare products and be careful not to move the displayed samples at will to prevent accidental damage. Remember to bargain, the rich can ignore it.

6. Yunnan is an area inhabited by ethnic minorities, so we must respect local ethnic customs. Therefore, when traveling in Yunnan, you must listen carefully to the tour guide's explanation. This will not only allow you to understand the precautions when communicating with ethnic minorities, but also a great pleasure to increase your knowledge.

Some tourism in Lijiang involves ethnic minorities, so it is very necessary to respect local customs. Lijiang is a city suitable for tourism, and it is also a place that some literary and artistic young people yearn for. There are a lot of people here during the peak season, so be careful.
