Is Lijiang really worth visiting?

Lijiang is worth your visit. You won't regret it. Lijiang is a scenic spot worth visiting. Have a nice trip:

1: Yulong Snow Mountain. There are two ways to go. The first is to take a day trip to a travel agency. There is a travel agency opposite the waterwheel in the ancient city, and the price is reasonable. But time is relatively limited and not free. The second is to rent a car by yourself, mostly Chang 'an bread (four or five people rent a car is better). Either way, Yulong Snow Mountain has two choices: small cableway and big cableway. On the small cableway to Maoniuping, the snow-capped mountains are alpine meadows halfway up the mountain, and you can see the snow-capped mountains far away. The cableway can reach the glacier directly, and the highest altitude can reach 4680M, each with its own advantages, but in winter, the top of the snowy mountain will be shrouded in clouds every afternoon. Cableway is more expensive, and it is said that the price has risen to 480 RMB. If you rent a car yourself, it is recommended to go early in the morning. You can contact the car outside the ancient city one day in advance and leave early the next morning. If you have time in the afternoon, you can go to Shuhe Ancient Town. If you don't have time, you won't lose anything.

2. Lashihai This is a typical plateau lake. It is about 5-7 kilometers away from the ancient city, and winter is the best season. Many seasonal migratory waterfowl spend the winter here, especially many wild ducks, which are very fat. The best way to travel is by bike. Generally, many hotels rent bicycles at 10- 15 RMB a day, or at 15 RMB a day in Xincheng Hongri Square. Send a bottle of mineral water and a hand-painted map. According to local people, the whole road is easy to walk, only a small slope is needed. However, I can tell you responsibly that the so-called small slope is called Huangshan Pass, which is a hill, not a small slope. However, it feels good all the way, and it's worth it to be so tired, especially when you go down the mountain, where your bike flies and is free. Tip: bring more water, you can walk along the seaside path, be free, and don't worry about getting lost. The local residents are very hospitable, at least they can ask for some boiled water to drink. There are usually not many people in the morning. Don't go to the scenic spot, it's meaningless, just stroll around. 3. Shigu and Hutiaoxia Shigu Town is located 45 kilometers northwest of Lijiang City, where the first bay of the Yangtze River is located. This suggestion is simple and convenient, suitable for a day trip. If you charter a car, ask about the itinerary in detail before you go. Because I went to Tiger Leaping Gorge on foot, it felt good, so I don't need to introduce this. The only thing I want to emphasize is that the best small hotel I stayed in is halfway, and I have to do it on that balcony. It's a place worth going around and it's not far away. Some things, like Shuhe ancient town, are not worth going. But the essence of Lijiang lies in the ancient city.

There are also some scenic spots in the ancient city.

1: the core of Sifang street ancient city. Living there passes by several times a day. It's commercialized now, and there are stalls everywhere. I'm sorry, but I feel fine this morning.

2. Mufu Lijiang Tusi Officer. The building is typical, but it's not worth going. Of course, those who are interested in history and ancient buildings can go and have a look.

Wangulou is on the side of the ancient city, on the hillside overlooking Lijiang, with a good view. It's not an ancient building, it's an antique building. However, it seems that it is not cheap to collect tickets. In fact, to see the panoramic view of Lijiang, Wangulou is not the only choice. There is a hotel next to Wangu Building. You can have tea on the second floor of the hotel, where the scenery is also good. There are several roads in tens of thousands of ancient buildings. The traditional way is to take Huangshan Mountain to the street, but Xinhua Road has a path to the mountain. If you take pictures, you can go there and shuttle all the way between old houses. I feel good and won't get lost. You just need to keep looking at the TV tower on the mountain.

4. Black Dragon Pool Park is the only park in Lijiang. In fact, the whole Lijiang is a park, so Black Dragon Pool is the park in the park. Seen from a distance, Yulong Snow Mountain is a good place. You can go and have a look. The water is good. The location is in the new town, and you can walk or CMB. However, the most attractive thing about Lijiang is not the scenic spots, but the feeling. Clear water, ancient wooden houses, leisurely people, bright sunshine, time flows slowly. My biggest feeling in Lijiang is a sentence from a strange girl: rotten in Lijiang. This is a place where you can completely forget the time. The most fascinating place in Lijiang is at night. The standard Lijiang nightlife is spent in a bar. There are many bars in Lijiang, and all the streets and alleys are (in the ancient city). There are generally three types. The first is a pure bar, which generally only provides wine. The overall style is close to ordinary bars in general big cities. Of course, it is different from the city bar. At least there is no noisy music, and the house is also a very good wooden house. However, it seems a little unnecessary to go to such a bar so far away, at least you can find such a bar in any big city. You can find the most Sichuanese here. The second is similar to Liang Yuyuan. Generally, food is still sold during the day. There are all kinds of special food and drinks, and drinking is ok, but not much. Of course, Liangmuyuan is a typical European style, while Lijiang is an absolute southern water town of China, with national charm. Usually built near the water. Personally, I think the drinks there are very interesting. I drank a bitter root, white and thin, and felt good, but I forgot the name. The most common people here are people from all over the world, all kinds. It is a good place for drinking tea and staring blankly. The third one is very distinctive. This kind of characteristic bar is generally difficult to find, because they are not very famous and never like to promote themselves. I know one. I went to Lijiang for the second time for three days in a row. The name of this bar is very interesting: Wang Gonggong takes photos of the wolf bar. There is a fire pit, surrounded by woodpiles. Let's sit anywhere. There are some old musical instruments to use. One wall is covered with photos, and there are two absolutely classic advertising slogans: smoking will lead to impotence/smoking will affect chest development. There is no fencing competition, no dice poker, but people from all corners of the country, simply facing and talking casually. People here come from all over the world and all over the country. They don't know each other, but they can talk at will. All strangers. Or, you can stare at the fire in a daze. Here is a kind of green plum wine, which feels good, like wine, but it is brewed by green plum. Lijiang has the most handicraft shops. Naxi men are the happiest men in the world. All the work is done by women, whether it's working in the fields, making money in business or cleaning up housework and cooking at home with children. Men's jobs are drinking tea, reading, drawing and singing, which is probably one of the reasons why Naxi culture has been passed down for thousands of years. A man's only job is artistic creation. Therefore, almost all Naxi men know some handicrafts. The most common is wood carving. The general materials are wooden plates, and Dongba characters are the most themed. In fact, Dongba characters are paintings. Everything else is purely abstract. The carving method is bas-relief. I have seen that there are not many descriptions of these wood, or simple two-color and three-color, and some use burning to express hierarchy. The work place is in the shop, the tools are simple, the works are hung on the wall, and you can visit them at will. The price is also very cheap, generally 20-50 RMB, with simple style and strong national charm. I like watching them do it very much. Very interesting. The local printing and dyeing method in Lijiang is tie-dyeing. Tie-dyeing generally uses Banlangen as dye and coarse white cloth. If there is anything selling batik, it is not a local product, and it is usually shipped from Dali. If Naxi clothes don't look good, there is no need to sell them. Lijiang has no mineral deposits, so all the crystal sellers are from other places, which seems to be more expensive than Chengdu and not good. Other so-called souvenir shops are not interesting either. Those things are imitations that can be bought in any tourist area in Yunnan (or Sichuan). There is no fruit in Old Town of Lijiang. It seems to prevent the peel from being thrown around. I'm not interested in eating, so I don't know much about special snacks. The traditional food of Naxi nationality is too greasy. Because the local water quality is hard and the mineral content is high, the local people are not fat, but fat is beautiful. The only local food I remember is Lijiang Baba, which is horribly greasy. Other kinds of steamed chicken are Dali, and there are many fried ones, depending on personal preference. Of course, there is also a special food in Yunnan-rice noodles. Personally, I think Lijiang's rice noodles have no special features. Eating in the ancient city is a bit expensive, more expensive than Chengdu, but the price in the new city is more reasonable, similar to Chengdu. It is recommended not to eat in the ancient city as much as possible. Personal feeling: The best season is winter, and it is better after 1 1 month. Every day is sunny. The sun in winter is very comfortable, but the sun there in summer is unbearable. You may get lost in the ancient city at night. It's best not to wander in the alley and go straight back to Sifang Street. The whole ancient city is based on Sifang Street. Also, you can see the TV tower everywhere, which is the best road sign. Of course, there are many people patrolling at night, so you can let them lead the way. This is the best way.

The last thing Lijiang can't miss:

1 The quiet streets, dim street lamps and gleaming slate pavement in the early morning of the ancient city are the most beautiful moments of the ancient city.

The sky is blue, the water is blue, the grass is yellow and the wind is strong. Wild ducks fall from the sky and the sun warms their faces. Lying on the grass by the sea, feeling the sunshine in winter and appreciating your own smallness.

3 Yulong Snow Mountain Glacier In any case, the height of 4680M is not everyone's experience. Jump there, maybe that's the highest place you can stand.

Looking at the beating flames in a daze by the fireplace, listening to the languages in all directions. Here, you will know that Lijiang is Lijiang. Final suggestion:

1: Don't worry. You should have enough time to experience and be in a daze. People in a hurry are not welcome here.

2. Don't go on holiday. At least, don't go to Lijiang alone during the festival. Remember, remember.

Lijiang travel tips:

1, you'd better travel by yourself. Especially around Lijiang, you don't need to join a group, and chartered cars are much better in cost and convenience.

2. To take a taxi in Lijiang, you must first ask the price. The management of taxis in Lijiang is chaotic, except that the price of chartered trips is basically reasonable.

3. There is no need to go to Shuhe Ancient Town, which is a few kilometers away from downtown Lijiang. It is a small ancient town in Lijiang, and 30 yuan/person tickets are required.

The food in Lijiang is very expensive. Especially when driving out to play, don't listen to recommendations. I suggest you go out to play and prepare more dry food.

5. Lijiang accommodation. There are about 400 inns and hotels in the ancient city, and there are various hotels and guest houses outside the ancient city. An inn with better conditions is about 100 yuan, and an inn with worse conditions 15 yuan to 20 yuan.
