At this time of the self-guided tour, you must not believe the aunt who solicits tourists and asks you if you want to go horse riding in Lashihai. You will be charged hundreds of dollars if you go.

Lijiang has a large daily temperature difference, so you may need to change two sets of clothes in one day. No matter what season you go to Lijiang, you must bring thick clothing. Even in summer, temperatures can drop lower at night or when it rains. Reference for dressing in four seasons:

The temperature in summer is generally between 10-28 degrees Celsius. You can wear short sleeves, long sleeves, jackets, etc.

The temperature in spring and autumn is generally between 5-20 degrees Celsius. You can wear long sleeves, a jacket, a thin sweater, a down jacket or a jacket, etc.

The temperature in winter is generally between -5 and 15 degrees Celsius. You can bring a coat, a thick sweater, a down jacket or a jacket.

On the first day, you can visit the ancient city to Mufu and Wangu Tower.

On the second day, you can go to Jade Dragon Snow Mountain and pass the Black Dragon Pond Park.

On the third day On the fourth day, we went to Lugu Lake

On the fifth day, we went to Lashihai to ride horses and experience the culture of the Ancient Tea Horse Road

The ultraviolet rays here are relatively strong, the climate is relatively dry, and the temperature difference between morning and evening is relatively large. These need to be paid attention to. If you don’t get enough rest, going to some scenic spots may easily cause Dizziness, altitude sickness, etc. If you want to go to the scenic spots by yourself, you need to pay attention to this to avoid being cheated by locals. Don't buy anything at the scenic spots, because the things sold there are similar, but they are very expensive

Lijiang's food

Some people say that there are three categories of food: the superior ones Eat, medium is edible, low is delicious. In Lijiang, a place not famous for its delicious food, many people can only make low wishes and hope for good fortune. I just want to eat good food, but I have no way to find it. One day I was chatting with fellow travellers, and when I mentioned this, I couldn't help but sigh. So I sorted this out for travelers looking for food in Lijiang.

Where to drink yogurt: There are two famous yogurts in Lijiang. The first is yak yogurt, which is sold everywhere for 5 yuan a bottle. It is no different from other yogurts, but it also feels very delicious. Another one is A'an yogurt. It is located at No. 1-1 Zhenxing Lane, Wuyi Street. Many girls like to drink it. If you add some honey, it will taste better.

Places to drink sour plum soup: They are everywhere in the ancient city. They were brought over from the main store in Baisha Ancient Town. If you want to find ancestors, go to Baisha to drink. That store is easy to find. In Lijiang Old Town, the October Sour Plum Soup shops are generally more authentic.

Places to eat barbecue: concentrated in several places, including the BBQ City on Fuhui Road in Xincheng, Zhongyi Market, and Huadu Trade City just past the Xincheng Overpass

Places to eat Lijiang Baba: At the Sifang Temple Fair, there is a dish called "Seven Star Baba", which tastes very good.

Where to eat chickpea jelly: There is a restaurant called "No. 88 Snack Shop" on Wuyi Street. Its chickpea jelly is relatively authentic.

Places to eat cured pork ribs: Cured pork ribs can be found everywhere, but the one that is recognized as more authentic and affordable is Xincheng Xiangshan Market, and Xiangshan Market is more famous for its Yujie Cured Spare Ribs at the entrance. However, due to the rapid expansion in recent years, the taste is not as good as before, but overall it is still good. You can try the Dafo La Pork Ribs opposite Yujie. I personally think it is good. The cured pork ribs at Xiangshan Market cost 60 yuan per pot, almost 80 yuan for 2 people, and almost 100 yuan for 4 people. After leaving the ancient city entrance, you can take a taxi for 7 yuan to reach Xiangshan Market.

Places to eat salmon: Rainbow Salmon House on Huama Street in Xincheng, which tastes better; there is also a restaurant called Zuihaoju next to Mufu which is also very good, you can try it.

Where to eat Naxi grilled fish: The Naxi grilled fish at Zhongyi Farm Restaurant is good, and their sea cauliflower (stage name is Shuixian Yanghua, haha) and steam pot chicken are also worth recommending.

Places to eat wild mushrooms: Dongba Valley Wild Mushrooms, Hot Pot, Xincheng Huama Street. It is said to be made from spring water from the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain that has been used for many years, cordyceps from the snow-capped mountains on the plateau, and 46 kinds of secret wild mushrooms, and is simmered for 12 hours; but the taste is indeed delicious. (In saliva...) Add matsutake mushrooms, chicken palm, porcini mushrooms, green head mushrooms and other fungi to the black-bone chicken soup and simmer for 20 minutes before eating. Be sure to drink soup. (It is simply torture, looking at a pot of delicious food but not being able to eat it, and having to endure the aroma that comes from time to time...) The price is not cheap. (They are all kinds of bacteria, so they can be cheap).

Where to eat black goat: Xincheng Jinkai Plaza, oh, there are them all over the street, because I don’t eat this kind of thing, so I really can’t figure out which one is the best. How about this. You guys take a taxi to Jinkai Plaza and go to whichever restaurant has the most people. I heard that the Ah Shou store is pretty good, haha.

Places to eat potato chicken: This is the most famous "Taian Potato Chicken" in Xincheng. It's only a 7-yuan taxi ride out of the ancient city entrance.

There is also a potato dumpling that I particularly recommend. It is very delicious. At Alili Snack Shop near Mufu, their mixed pot dishes are also good, and there are many snacks. Go and try them yourself.

Hope the answer is helpful to you
