Hello, I want to take my 8-year-old son to Lijiang, and then I should let him go to Lugu Lake, or Shangri-La is more suitable for children to play, and bring cotton in August. ...

It is recommended not to go to Lugu Lake. It will rain heavily and the scenic spot will stop. You need to bring down jackets in August. It's very cold here on cloudy days. Take some sunscreen, the child has thin skin. I hope you have a wonderful trip!

It is recommended to take the train, which is affordable and safe. There are two buses from Kunming to Dali every morning, with a ticket of about 50 yuan, so there are more buses (western passenger station). Dali to Lijiang are the above two buses, but they are all around 4 pm and 5 pm, with more than 20 tickets and many buses. The bus from Lijiang to Shangri-La runs every half hour, but there is no bus after 5: 30 pm, with more than 60 tickets! By plane, the full ticket from Kunming to Shangri-La is about 1050, and it is about 500 after discount!

It's best not to join the group: fly to Kunming, take the train to Lijiang, and take the bus to Shangri-La-take the train to Lijiang and then fly to Banna. Or fly directly from Shangri-La to Banna (more than a week in advance, just around 450 yuan).

One to two days in Kunming: around 800 yuan, Shilin, Jin Dian, Tong Yuan, Dianchi Lake, etc.

Lijiang: (two or three days) Yulong Snow Mountain 190 yuan, Snow Mountain Cableway: Yunshan Plain 57, Maoniuping 62, Glacier Cableway 152 yuan, 20 yuan in the scenic area, Old Town of Lijiang maintenance fee 20 yuan (Snow Mountain package includes: Yushuizhai, Dongba Valley, Dongba Temple, Yufeng Temple and other scenic spots).

Shangri-La: (four days) Tiger Leaping Gorge 50 yuan, Pudacuo Forest Park 190 yuan (including eco-cars), Napahai, Shika Snow Mountain (90), Meili Snow Mountain (about 280), Songzanlin Temple (90) and Dukezong Ancient City!

Meili Snow Mountain, Pudacuo National Park, Dukezong Ancient City, Songzanlin Temple, Haba Snow Mountain, Napahai and so on. It is a very beautiful paradise. ....................

You can take a bus to Songzanlin Temple and walk to Dukezong Ancient City. Cycling in Napahai.
