1. Shangri-La is cold at present, about 11 in the daytime and about 1 in the evening, with cold-proof clothes and trousers.
2. The plateau is sunny, so prepare sunglasses. Lesbians had better bring umbrella (rain or shine) and sunscreen when they come to Yunnan, otherwise ~~ ~ Hehe
3. Some people who come to Shangri-La at low altitude, especially those aged 51-61, will have certain altitude sickness. Eat buttered tea (rich in oxygen) and rhodiola oral liquid (sold locally) after staying in Shangri-La.
4. Tourism:
Background: Shangri-La was originally a place mentioned by American novelist Hilton in Lost Horizon. In order to develop tourism, Yunnan renamed Zhongdian County as Shangri-La County, which belongs to Diqing Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture of Yunnan Province. Shangri-La, a tourist destination, covers a wide range, such as Meili Snow Mountain, Haba Snow Mountain and Tiger Leaping Gorge. The area is not only high in altitude, but also inconvenient in transportation, so you should be mentally prepared before coming.
On the first day,
If you arrive in Zhongdian in the morning, you can take the CMB (ticket 3-5 yuan) at the bus station to Napahai (ticket 11 yuan) and return at noon. If you go to Zhongdian at noon, Napahai can be omitted, and there will be many such scenery afterwards.
in the afternoon, ask for directions and walk to the No.3 bus stop (the fare is 1 yuan) to the end point, Gadansong Zanlin Temple. Songzanlin Temple, known as Little Potala Palace, is well worth visiting. (Admission is RMB 11, no student tickets)
Songzanlin Temple is a Tibetan Buddhist temple, where you will realize what real Buddhist monks are like, and they will not try their best to earn or cheat tourists like the secular monks in the Buddhist temples mentioned above in the tour group route. All expenses here are voluntary except tickets. You can ask the living Buddha to touch the top for blessing, or you can ask the little Lama to pray in the main hall. He will give you a bracelet, and you can give the incense money at will, from a few cents to hundreds.
Tickets for Songzanlin Temple are the cheapest and the best value for money among all the scenic spots in Yunnan, but it can be evaded. After reaching the main entrance of the temple, go straight along the stone road and enter an iron gate, and then enter the scenic spot. Save this 11 yuan and donate it to a temple or ask for a prayer wheel (the smallest 25 yuan). Those who have had a light will be closer to the Buddha.
The first day trip to Zhongdian was arranged loosely. The altitude of Zhongdian is more than 2,111 meters, and it is unknown that altitude sickness will occur.
The next day
The famous scenic spots in Zhongdian are Bitahuan and Baishuitai, both of which are on the way from Zhongdian to Xiahutiao. However, the bus is inconvenient, and it is basically necessary to charter a car. It's best to gather more people when you charter a car, and then tell the driver to go directly to Daju County (near Jinsha River) instead of returning to Zhongdian after swimming in Baishuitai, so that you will find the beauty of the designed route after you have passed.
The fare for chartered cars from Zhongdian to Daju County is 351 yuan -411 yuan per car.
Have a full meal in the morning, because lunch may be eaten with dinner.
Bitahai: A plateau meadow, with grassland by the lake, is very beautiful. Admission to 31 yuan is half price with student certificate. But to get to the lake, you may need to take a cruise, 31 yuan/person, and you can bargain to 21 yuan/person. However, if you don't like natural scenery very much, you can also omit the cruise ship.
Baishuitai: a unique natural wonder formed by erosion. Admission to 31 yuan is half price with student certificate. In fact, the scenic spot is not worth that much money, but it's still the same sentence: since I'm here ~ ~
There are many restaurants coming down from Baishuitai scenic spot, so I can go further down the hill. I especially recommend a small shop called "Flavor Restaurant". The proprietress is very simple, and she can cut the price a little. It's best to order a plate of Yunnan's specialty mushroom-chicken fir, which can be eaten in this shop for more than 11 yuan. Hum, if in Kunming, five times. After eating, I picked up two bottles of spring water in her backyard, which is no worse than bottled water.
get on the bus and go to Daju county after eating. The road is difficult to walk at first, but after all, "the infinite scenery is on the dangerous peak", and you will pass by Haba Snow Mountain on this road. If you are lucky, you can see the snow on the top of the mountain.
When you get to the Jinsha River, you will see the Tiger Leaping Gorge, and all this is free.
The chartered bus can only be sent to the Jinsha River. After finding a ferry (5-11 yuan per person) to cross the river, it will be late. However, we have to walk a few more steps to stay around the location of Daju Township Government. We recommend a hotel called Snowflake Inn. Clean, the proprietress is also enthusiastic, and her family can provide meals, depending on the situation.
on the third day
you can choose to walk the Tiger Leaping Gorge-the dream of many people. Jump from the tiger to the upstream, cross the canyon between Yulong Snow Mountain and Haba Snow Mountain, and arrive at Lijiang. But you have to be fully prepared, about two days. Tiger Leaping Gorge is also collecting tickets, but it can escape. I'm sorry for our superior socialist system if this kind of garbage tickets don't escape. Methods Ask the local people
If they are not in the mood to jump on foot, book a bus ticket to Lijiang tomorrow at the hotel; Daju to Maoniuping (middle ropeway) 15 yuan, to Yunshanping 21 yuan, to Lijiang 25 yuan.
The most important thing is that if you climb the Yulong Snow Mountain in this way, you will unconsciously save the 1.21 yuan (81 yuan mountain entrance fee and 41 yuan ancient city maintenance fee) that you have to pay to enter the Snow Mountain from Lijiang. The unreasonable tickets for Lijiang will continue to be despised below. Only then will you find out how worthwhile the money spent on chartering yesterday is.

Supplement:
1. The consumption level in Yunnan is not high. Except for ordinary hotels in Kunming, most of Yunnan have no recipes, and they all order directly from the raw materials, so please ask about the price before ordering, and bargain according to the above standards appropriately, and ask the waiter to write the negotiated price on the list immediately.
2. Note:
First, you must not ask the innkeeper or proprietress to sign up for you when you go to Meili Snow Mountain. Second: Never let the proprietress or boss take you to buy authentic dried yak meat, Pu 'er tea, gastrodia elata, silk scarves and the like. The dried yak meat that the proprietress took me to buy was 41 yuan a catty, and my dear bought 25 yuan in the next room (this was only known after the exchange). The only one in Lijiang that only wrote yak meat with a silk scarf on it. I don't remember the exact location. Hehe, the yak meat in that restaurant is really good. Third, don't even ask the innkeeper to order it for you.
Da Express is a courier company that I use very well in Yunnan. The eldest brother who receives the goods is honest, active and tightly packed. The delivery speed of that courier company is also good. I sent them to Beijing, Guangzhou and Hunan successively, and they all arrived in three days. The price of calling express yourself is 8 yuan per kilogram, and the proprietress will call it 11 yuan per kilogram for you.
