This is the first time you come to Old Town of Lijiang.

Romantic scenery is picturesque in Dali. Let the gentle wind blow away the pressure brought by Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake to urban life and enjoy the slow-paced life. In addition to the slow-paced life, Lijiang also has the tranquility brought by the ancient city. After lunch, you can sit on the top floor of the inn, watching people coming and going, or watching flowers all over the street, or listening to melodious folk songs. At this moment, you can enjoy it as long as you are in a daze quietly.

Lijiang is usually visited by train from Dali. Ticket 36 yuan, the train passes Erhai Lake along the way. Just a glimpse of the autumn sky, green trees and green hills are just a scene outside your window. A good trip doesn't start with arriving in Lijiang. The train to Lijiang will start singing.

After arriving at Lijiang Station, there is a bus 105 at the bus stop of the station, which is one of your choices. Of course, other modes of travel are also possible. Lijiang's tourism has matured to a fruitful stage.

When you first arrive in the ancient city, you will feel at a loss about the terrain of the ancient city. Alleys extending in all directions and complicated roads allow you to go to any scenic spot you meet without a map. Here is a tip for visiting these important scenic spots, and you can almost visit Old Town of Lijiang.

Tourist attractions: Bar Street.

If you have watched the TV series "Beijing Youth", you must be deeply impressed by the scene of the four brothers visiting Lijiang Bar Street. The courtyard built by Linxi is colorful, exquisite and full of emotion. Even if you don't go into a bar and sit on a stone bench in Linxi, listening to pop songs is an excellent enjoyment! Looking for it, Peach Blossom Island blossoms.

The second scenic spot: Youzhi Third Street.

This is one of my favorite streets in Lijiang. Wooden stilts stand on both sides of the street, and oil-paper umbrellas hang upside down on the strings on the stilts, as if floating in the air. It was raining in Mao Mao that day, and I walked on the rain-soaked bluestone board, as if I met a clove-like girl holding an oil-paper umbrella at the corner!

The third scenic spot: Lion Mountain Wangu Building!

Lion Mountain is named after a crouching lion. There is a five-story and five-eaves all-wood structure in Lion Mountain. If you are not satisfied with the panoramic view of the ancient city in Lion Mountain, you can climb up again and set foot on the top floor of the ancient building to see the elegant demeanor of Lijiang City. Opening hours: 9- 17: 00, admission to 35 yuan, but no admission to Wangulou.

The fourth attraction: the big waterwheel.

The waterwheel is almost one of the symbols of Lijiang. As the name implies, two wooden waterwheels paddle quietly at the north gate of the ancient city. The stone wall next to the waterwheel bears the inscription of Old Town of Lijiang, a world heritage site. If you need to punch in here, please do it before it is too late. Say the important thing three times, and no one wants to see a sea of people.

The fifth scenic spot: the shogunate

The official residence of Mu Tusi in Lijiang in the past dynasties is a symbol of the ancient city, which combines the architectural style of the Central Plains in the Ming Dynasty with the crafts of Bai and Naxi nationalities. Even people who have never been to Dali know the wooden houses in Lijiang. The origin of Muzi is that Agaad, the Naxi chief, was given Muzi after he surrendered to Zhu Yuanzhang. Later, this surname was gradually handed down, so the wooden surname of Lijiang was a nobleman in the past.

Opposite the Mufu, there is a face engraved with the words written by Xu Xiake: the beauty in the palace means king. Therefore, it also has the reputation of the Forbidden City in the north and the shogunate in the south.

Opening hours: 8:30- 17:30 Tickets 40

Six tourist attractions: Sifang Street

Sifang Street is located in the center of the ancient city, paved with colored stones and washed with clear water. Don't pay special attention to many delicious foods. You must take this place as your destination, even if you wander around, you will come here. If it really doesn't work, just follow the signs.

The seventh scenic spot: wishing forest

The place is next to the big waterwheel, which is the north gate. It is famous for its wishing cards filled with countless couples. Couples just need to write their wishes for love on wooden cards. When the wind blows and the bell rings, it sounds as if the fairy heard the prayers of sincere couples, and love comes before the tune.

You need to visit more interesting scenic spots by yourself, such as Dayanhua Lane, Lijiang Eye Observation Platform, and the memorial archway where the rain flowers flow. It's raining and flowing, which is a transliteration of Naxi language. In Chinese, it means going to school, which shows that the toast attached importance to education at that time.

As for accommodation, the south gate is very quiet. If you have to be extremely quiet at night to fall asleep, I suggest you live in the south gate. I live in the south gate, and the accommodation conditions are 100-200. You don't have to worry about accommodation if you have more choices.

In terms of eating, snacks include Lijiang Baba, preserved ribs, wrapped tofu, flower cakes (handmade flowers are really delicious, just like eating flowers in your mouth), stinky tofu, fried insects, crossing the bridge rice noodles and so on.

Precautions:

1. Women must not wear high heels, because they are all stone roads, and it is easy for their heels to step into the cracks and sprain their feet.

2. Umbrella, it's raining in Lijiang. Like a wayward child, you must not get sick when you go out.

This ancient city is unfriendly to the first-time visitors. It is recommended to install a map App. You need your inn when you can't find it.

4. charging treasure. Of course, there are * * * charging treasures everywhere in the ancient city, but its half-hour price is 1.5 yuan. If you count by five hours, you will miss a string of wicker beef.

Eating and living in the north gate is expensive, eating and living in the south gate is very cheap, and the price outside the ancient city gate is even cheaper.

Lijiang, some people say that it is too commercialized, and it is full of low-level tastes of money; Some people say that it is the sustenance of the soul, and all the streets are full of leisurely comfort. As for what Lijiang is like, you need to feel it yourself!
