Travel Mecca Yunnan Lijiang self-guided tour 18 super spot-on suggestions
The first suggestion is that it is best to travel on your own. Yunnan now has very convenient transportation, especially road transportation is very developed, to go anywhere is very convenient, and even in the most prosperous time can ensure that there are cars to go. So you don't have to worry about transportation. Accommodation is not to mention, you want to stay in any level of rooms are absolutely no problem, Lijiang Old Town from dozens to hundreds of thousands of rooms are available, you can according to your actual needs to find the right. The free life inn, ivy, oak tree garden, and so on are all good.
The second suggestion is that if you are traveling to your destination by car, it's best to take a car that leaves at night and arrives at the same time, so you can save some time and money, but only if you have enough energy and stamina. I think young people usually have no problem with this. You can go to the parking lot of the bus station at 4 or 5 o'clock in the afternoon and find the bus you want to go to (there is usually a sign on the windshield in front of the bus), sometimes there are several buses, you can find the newest one, which is safer and faster. After you find, you can directly and the owner of the price, generally cheaper than in the station window to buy tickets 20-30 yuan (Oh, of course, you have to look at the price of the license plate beforehand), and be sure to set a good seat, take a good ticket. In Kunming, there are more long-distance bus stations with similar prices, so you can ask around and someone will be happy to help you.
The third suggestion is that if you want to buy tea, you'd better not buy it at the travel agency, but find a trustworthy innkeeper to help you or buy it at a large supermarket or shopping mall, in this way, you may be able to take four times as much tea as you paid for it at the shopping mall.
The fourth suggestion, if you like jade, do not buy locally, especially do not buy in the travel agency shopping, it is recommended that we first go to the old city to store and cut the price, and then let the innkeeper to take to buy things, so that you can experience the thrill of shopping Oh. Purchase of sterling silver jewelry, jade jadeite, crystal gemstones, highland medicinal herbs and other valuables, whether in more trust or size of the store, please make sure you go to the Quality Supervision Bureau for testing, because rest assured that the purchase can only make their own in the journey enjoyable.
The fifth suggestion, go to the Lunan stone forest or nine townships, it is best to find their own car to go, because I also tried with the day trip, the result is that almost all cars are the morning departure, after turning three shopping points, only to the destination, after lunch is also about two hours to hastily stroll around, and then after returning to Kunming was forced to go to Huang Chuangui open hospital, I really did not think that the military open hospitals are also now I didn't realize that the hospitals run by military personnel nowadays are also so overbearing! The most intolerable thing is that, after arriving at the attractions, due to the nearby city all the tourists with the group are almost all at the same time to arrive (because they are there to eat), Stone Forest, nine townships of the attractions and relatively centralized, so there is a grown-ups to see the head of the children to see the spectacular scene, the poor even the stones are not more than a few, which there is what the excitement of the tour.
Sixth suggestion, in Dali, Lijiang accommodation, you must find a local residents open small inn, live in their homes to go (usually courtyard), so you can really feel the local people's leisurely life and pure and mentality. After playing outside, you can also live with the family of the elderly, children chat, to understand the local situation, but also with them to eat their meals, to Lijiang live in the hotel is a very earthy behavior Oh, huh. In Lijiang, you must live in the ancient city of Danyan residence, I think you must live in a large yard sunshine very good inn such as the free life stagecoach inn like the yard, in order to really enjoy the feeling of Lijiang sun daze, in Dali, you must live in Dali ancient city.
The seventh suggestion, if you play in Dali, it is best not to follow the one-day tour, I tell you from my personal experience, the one-day tour may hurt your good mood for Dali. If you take a big boat trip to Erhai, you can buy a half-way ticket, which is about 60 RMB, and after you get off the boat at the Butterfly Spring, you can take a horse cart or walk to it, which is very close. If you go with a group, they give you about half an hour for each attraction, and the rest of the time is endless shopping! Even if you don't buy, you have to wait. If you have more time, you can take a boat trip on the Erhai Sea, you will never forget the view! Maybe you can ask the coachman when you are touring the old city of Dali, of course it is best for you to pay five dollars a person to take the coach around the old city, chatting with the coachman will tell you how to find a boat, the boat rental for one day is only about two hundred yuan, three or four people together is not expensive, they also packaged your lunch, very good from the Erhai Sea to catch small fish for the dish.
The eighth suggestion, Lugu Lake picturesque, have been to most of the guests said very beautiful, but the drive is very long, one-way need more than 7 hours, a **** there are eighteen bends, after each bend in the mouth of the family drivers are playing drift to come, in the cliffs for the excitement of the drift, almost every female guests are closed eyes to feel. In addition, Lugu Lake a lot of stone road, not flat road, very upside down. Well, bother so much saliva, not to let everyone not to go, but let everyone be fully psychologically prepared to travel.
The ninth suggestion, in Lugu Lake, if time permits, be sure to stay a few more days, walk along the lake itself, it is best to contact the car to go to Rig or Dazui, where the Mosuo home is the original, the general passenger station car to go to the place has been a resort nature of the village of Luoshui, although still Mosuo home, but has been sinicized to the body to wear only the clothes of the Mosuo people.
The tenth suggestion, Meili Snow Mountain, also known as the Prince of Snow Mountain, the most striking scenery is the sunshine of the Golden Mountain, generally have seen Meili will not have to look at the Jade Dragon, because it is not a grade. Meili Shenshan is located in the northeast of Deqin County, Yunnan Province, about 10 kilometers of the Hengduan Mountains in the middle section of the Nujiang River and the Lancang River, the average elevation of 6,000 meters above 13 peaks, known as the Prince of Thirteen peaks the main peak of the Kawagabo Peak is as high as 6,740 meters above sea level, is the first peak in Yunnan. Avalanche is a Tibetan natural village at the foot of the Meili Snow Mountain Goddess Peak, walking between quite a sense of paradise, the real Shangri-La's epitome. The Yubeng waterfall is also traditionally a holy place for Tibetan Buddhist pilgrimage. Every year there are thousands of believers from Tibet, Sichuan, Qinghai, Gansu and other places from thousands of miles to worship.
The eleventh suggestion, if you have time to go to Ruili, but also interested in going to Myanmar, before crossing the border there are a lot of commemorative stamps, Myanmar currency and other small souvenirs of Myanmar, you'd better not to buy, you can go to Myanmar to buy, where things are relatively cheaper, and can be used in RMB!
The twelfth suggestion, if you go to Burma, the tour guide will let you go to watch the siren show, you are interested in, may as well look at it is nothing to be afraid of, but if the siren want to invite you to take pictures, to give you a signature photo and so on, you can be negotiated beforehand the price. In addition, according to the tour guide, if the siren mysteriously to let you check her body, you can not go, or when you can not say only spend money to eliminate the disaster.
Thirteenth suggestion, in Lijiang sightseeing tour, you must not miss in the evening at eight o'clock in the big research will be held in the Naxi ancient music! And it must be hosted by Dr. Xuanke himself! It is said that the bone of Lijiang is Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, while the soul of Lijiang is Naxi ancient music! General inns can provide booking services for 20 yuan less than the face value of the ticket. The ancient music played here is as precious as unearthed relics, and the band playing the ancient music can be said to be the world's oldest and best ancient band! They have been to more than 20 countries and regions have performed, even the President also saw the sound of praise, and personally give them an inscription it. If possible, find the first person in Lijiang, also a geek Xuanke chat, you will certainly get an unprecedented feeling! His humor, his wisdom, his vicissitudes, his legend, all his everything, you will benefit greatly.
The fourteenth suggestion, traveling in Lijiang, you can ignore not to go to the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain (that is, usually called Yusuping), because there are expensive tickets (including cable car tickets to more than three hundred dollars), and has not seen a few pieces of snow, it is recommended to go directly to the Merry Snow Mountain can be.
The fifteenth suggestion, in Yunnan to eat over the bridge rice noodles, you must find an authentic restaurant, otherwise you will certainly eat this famous snack bad. Specific details of snacks can ask the innkeeper, they stay in Lijiang will generally know where to eat. In Kunming, you can try Bridge Country Garden or Jixin Garden, where the bridge rice noodles are still relatively authentic. In the latter, you can also enjoy Yunnan's song and dance performances while tasting. The best advice is to eat the twenty-dollar kind. It's economical and tasty. I've tried the more expensive ones, which really just have more ingredients in the pot.
The sixteenth suggestion, Yunnan is a kingdom of flora and fauna, to Yunnan, there is one thing you can not miss, that is, the taste of the extremely sweet variety of wild mushrooms plants, where the wild mushrooms, the price is particularly cheap, and you can also personally go to the kitchen to pick, because there are a lot of mushrooms I can not say what its real name is, only know that they are tasty, but it is difficult to tell you the specific name! I just know they're good, but it's hard to tell you the exact names, so you can pick them out yourself. Now tell you what I know about delicious mushrooms, such as chicken fir, its name is a little strange, the chef told me when I did not understand, and later checked the word song to understand. Its strange name doesn't stop it from being delicious, and it grows in a strange place, on termite nests in the fields. As for why it grows specifically on termite nests, no one has been able to figure it out yet, and neither have I. The cap of the chanterelle is not large, and the fungus is not large enough for the termite. The cap of the fir mushroom is not big, and the handle underneath is longer and thicker, generally the part of the mushroom to eat is mostly in the cap, but the most delicious part of the fir mushroom is in the handle. Chicken fir can be called the king of the fungus, it tastes a little like chicken, but far more delicious than chicken, tender, no slag in the mouth, smooth, and a light fragrance. Yunnan is the hometown of mushrooms, in addition to chicken fir, dried mushrooms, porcini mushrooms, green head mushrooms, etc., are particularly delicious. I was in Yunnan for a month and ate more wild mushrooms than I have in twenty years. Better stop talking, I'm drooling again.
The seventeenth suggestion is that before you go, don't forget to check with your local tourist agency about the local minority festivals so that you can organize your trip. Yunnan is a major minority province in China, with 26 minorities within its borders, accounting for almost half of the country's minorities. The most interesting thing about Yunnan is not its beautiful scenery, but its humanistic landscape, where there are many strange customs that you have never thought of, and these customs are often best reflected in their festivals, so don't forget to check out the folk festivals of various ethnic minorities when you are preparing your travel plans, and choose the days you are interested in for your trip, so that you will get a better feel of the place.
The 18th suggestion, which is not really a suggestion anymore, is to act now, as Yunnan builds roads, railroads and airports more quickly and efficiently, and by the time the transportation is well developed, a lot of Yunnan's sceneries will have lost their original charm.
The Old Town of Lijiang is known as the best-preserved ancient town of ethnic minorities in China, and narrowly refers to the main part of the Old Town of Lijiang, the Dayan Ancient Town. Lijiang Dayan Ancient Town has the famous Sifang Street, Bashi Bridge, Bar Street, Wooden Mansion and other small attractions, which has the largest concentration of inns and the most ethnic tourist souvenirs in the whole of China. It is a must-visit place for Lijiang tour.
Because Lijiang Old Town is too well known, to the Golden Week and other tourist season, the streets and alleys are crowded with people shoulder to shoulder, the merchants raise prices, no time to respond to, completely lose the Lijiang tour of the qualities of leisure and relaxation. Therefore, it is strongly recommended to avoid the peak season, especially the Golden Week to Lijiang travel.
Jade Dragon Snow Mountain is the lowest latitude (i.e., the most southern) of the snowy mountains, so far no one can climb the top of the snowy mountains, Lijiang Naxi sacred mountain, to martyrdom culture well-known snowy mountains. The Jade Dragon Snow Mountain scenic area includes Gan Haizi, Spruce Ping, Yak Ping, Glacier Park, and China's highest altitude golf course.
Because Jade Dragon Snow Mountain is the lowest latitude snow mountain, coupled with global warming and the surge of tourists on the mountain, leading to the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain snow storage decreases every year, serious only by artificial snowfall to protect the snow mountain scenery. Therefore, it is also recommended to avoid the peak tourist season on the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, there are some people say, there is no need to go on the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, the distant view is more spectacular than the close look.
Lugu Lake is known for its Mosuo marriage folklore, the last matriarchal society, and its pristine, secluded, paradisiacal lakes and mountains. Lugu Lake scenic area has Rig Island, Lushui Village, Gem Goddess Hill and other small attractions. The pig-trough boat, Surima wine, and wooden rash house are the iconic symbols of Lugu Lake.
There is a tendency to over-promote and distort Lugu Lake's wedding folklore, which somehow destroys the simplicity of Lugu Lake.
Shuhe ancient town of the ancient name of "ten", the Naxi language "ShaoWu", before the development of tourism, called Longquan village, because the village has a few strands of crystal clear springs, also known as "the township of the clear springs The village is also known as "the town of clear springs" because there are several clear springs in the village. Shuhe Ancient Town is an important part of Lijiang Ancient Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. History is also longer than the Lijiang Dayan Ancient Town, ancient Shuhe is Lijiang Tusi from the Central Plains to introduce skilled craftsmen gathering place, is Lijiang's handicrafts center. Today's Shuhe is known as "a more modest and quiet ancient town than Lijiang". The main business card of Shuhe is "Ancient Town in the Field, Ancient Town in the Field". There is the largest stone bridge in Lijiang - Qinglong Bridge, the most meaningful spring - Jiuding Longtan.
Shuhe Ancient Town is a half-ancient, half-artificial ancient town developed by Kunming Dingye Real Estate Group. The large area at the entrance of the town is an antique commercial street, and the real Shuhe is across the Qinglong Bridge.
Lashihai is a plateau lake located in Lijiang City, Yulong County, Lashi Township. "Lashi" is the Naxi language, meaning the new barren dam, Yunnan people call the lake "sea", so called Lashihai. Lashihai is a paradise for migratory birds, Lijiang's backyard, but so far has not been formally developed, is Lijiang's famous "wild spots". Because of its "wild", migratory birds have to continue to live here. Lashihai has also become the most wild place to play in Lijiang. In Lashihai you can play horseback riding, boating, bird watching, picnicking, camping and so on.
Because of Lashihai's "wildness", the tourism business here is not very standardized, the same horseback riding route has a variety of offers, depending on the person.
Tiger Leaping Gorge is located at the junction of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain in Lijiang and Haba Snow Mountain in Shangri-La, about 60 kilometers away from the ancient city of Lijiang. Tiger Leaping Gorge is divided into three sections: Upper Tiger Leaping, Middle Tiger Leaping and Lower Tiger Leaping, with a total length of 18 kilometers and a vertical difference of 3,790 meters, making it one of the deepest gorges in the world. 80's when some foreign backpackers started to hike in this area, and gradually there began to be inns, supplying simple food and drink. It is now a very mature trekking route. Tiger Leaping Gorge is located at the halfway point from Lijiang to Shangri-La, and is often combined with outdoor routes such as the "Four-Day Meili Tour" and the "Six-Day Avalanche Tour".
The Middle Tiger Leaping is the best hiking route and requires a certain amount of stamina. Hiking Tiger Leaping Gorge should be avoided on rainy days, as there may be hazards such as landslides.
White Sands Ancient Town is the oldest ancient town in Lijiang, located at the foot of the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, is the earliest settlement of the Naxi forefathers after entering the Lijiang Basin, the birthplace of the Naxi culture, and the political and religious center of Lijiang before the Song and Yuan dynasties. So far there are still surviving Liuli Hall, Dabaojigong, Dadingge, King Kong Hall and other religious buildings. And there are white sand murals, white sand fine music and other cultural and artistic heritage.
Baisha ancient town is also so far not formally developed, but the development right has been handed over to the Dingye Group responsible for the protection and development of Shuhe ancient town. In addition to the ancient architecture, there is also a large area of idyllic scenery, Baisha Ancient Town is also China's closest to the snow-capped mountains of the ancient town.
