You should choose the best time to visit Lijiang. After all, we should pay attention to the scenic spots in Lijiang. There are also some strategies you will use when traveling in Lijiang. What to eat, where to live and how to get to Lijiang can be solved for you.

Best time to play

Tourism is seasonal, with low off-season and high peak season, which has always been the case in history. Although the seasonality of Lijiang is not obvious. Because winter in Lijiang is cold, the peak season in Lijiang is generally April-65438+February, and 165438+ 10 is the Spring Festival and Golden Week, followed by summer.

July-August is the rainy season in northwest Yunnan, and summer. There are many tourists, which is not recommended. Other seasons are suitable for visiting, and different seasons will have different beautiful scenery.

From February to March, you can go to the farmland to see rape blossoms, or you can go to Yulong Snow Mountain. The maximum/minimum temperature is about 15/5. Sweaters and windbreakers are recommended.

April is the most beautiful time in Lijiang and Dali ancient cities, and it is also the time when the four seasons change. The maximum/minimum temperature is about 20/ 10. Prepare sun protection, rain gear and clothes for summer and autumn.

May-June is the tourist season in northwest Yunnan. From Shangri-La to Lijiang, from Lugu Lake to Dali, they are all good scenery, but we should pay attention to sun protection. The maximum/minimum temperature is about 25/ 15.

Autumn scenery in September -65438+ 10 is also excellent, and its rich colors are extremely suitable for photography. The maximum/minimum temperature is about 20 degrees Celsius.

stay

Lijiang accommodation is divided into three areas: Xincheng, Old Town of Lijiang and Shuhe Ancient Town.

Metro

Refers to places outside Old Town of Lijiang, mostly chain hotels, business hotels and star-rated hotels. Accommodation in the new town is more convenient and the price is much more affordable.

Old Town of Lijiang

Accommodation conditions in Old Town of Lijiang are relatively mature, and there are many choices, including Youth Travel Service in 40-50 yuan, BB Inn in 200-300 yuan, and thousands of high-end inns and hotels. The off-season price of an ordinary inn is usually above 100, and the room price above 100 in peak season and holidays may also rise to 300-600 yuan. Inn is a major feature of Lijiang accommodation and the first choice for most tourists.

One of the inconveniences of accommodation in the ancient city is that it is not open to traffic. It is very inconvenient to travel in luggage with old people and children. And Old Town of Lijiang sometimes needs to buy the maintenance fee for the ancient city of 80 yuan.

shuhe old town

Relatively quiet, Shuhe Ancient City is 20 minutes' drive from downtown Lijiang. The only disadvantage of Shuhe is that it is inconvenient to travel. There is no bus to downtown, so you can only take a blue van at the gate of Shuhe. Prices range from 20 to 40 pounds.

Tips:

1. Lijiang Inn is basically made of wood, especially in old houses, and it is easy to hear the sound next door. If children have a high demand for sleep quality, it is best to ask whether the two rooms are soundproof by brick walls or soundproof.

Everyone lives as close as possible to the edge of the ancient city. If you live in the center of the ancient city, there is no problem without luggage. If you have luggage, you will be very tired because the ancient city is closed to traffic.

3. Whether in the off-season or in the peak season, you need to book in advance. Try to stay away from noisy places such as Sifang Street and Bar Street to ensure a quiet and comfortable accommodation environment.

There are thousands of large and small inns in the ancient city, and the market is relatively mature. As long as you choose an inn with many reviews and high evaluation, there won't be much problem.

sensitive

Traveling to Lijiang, I ate all kinds of delicious food, but the taste was not authentic. Everyone has his own evaluation. If you want to eat something with local characteristics, if you are not familiar with it, you are recommended to go to Xincheng. For example, the ham chicken in Qixing Street, the tilapia ribs in Xiangshan Market, the Rhodiola griddle in Mahua Street and the salmon in Tuojiang Fish House are all famous.

Snacks in Old Town of Lijiang are concentrated near Dashiqiao, Sifang Street and Loyalty Market. If you are lazy and modern, you can go to the big waterwheel at the mouth of the ancient city to eat KFC. Sifang Street is a famous snack street in Old Town of Lijiang. There are dozens of small restaurants on both sides of this short and narrow street. Loyalty Market is a large farmer's market near Old Town of Lijiang, where there are the most authentic Lijiang snacks.

Snacks and hot pot are the most famous delicacies in Lijiang. Chicken bean jelly, Naxi grilled fish, Baba and Dongba barbecue are the most popular snacks, while hot pot is represented by pork ribs hot pot, potato chicken hot pot, black goat hot pot, fungus hot pot and yak hot pot. Snacks are not expensive. A bowl of chicken bean jelly is about 8 yuan, and a bowl of rice flour is about 10 yuan. It's cheaper to be far from the center of the ancient city. There are many restaurants in Lijiang, including salmon (rainbow trout) restaurant, potato chicken hot pot, tilapia hot pot, wild mushroom hot pot, ribs hot pot and so on. Per capita consumption is about 60- 100 yuan. If it is cost-effective, of course, it is a restaurant outside the ancient city, where there are many locals. Just find a restaurant with a long queue and a good reputation. Xiangshan Market, Mahua Street and Jinkai Square are three places where restaurants are concentrated.

traffic

Lijiang has convenient transportation. There are three main modes of transportation to Lijiang: plane, train and car. Friends with tight time but not bad money suggest flying directly to Lijiang; Friends with thin wallets go to Kunming first, and then take the overnight train to Lijiang. You can get there by sleeping, not to mention the travel expenses, and you can save one night's accommodation. Generally speaking, direct flights from other cities to Kunming are cheaper than direct flights to Lijiang.

1. Aircraft

Lijiang has opened direct flights to most cities in China. It's convenient to fly directly to Lijiang. If there is no direct flight, you can choose to transfer from Kunming.

From the airport to the ancient city

1. Airport bus:

Sany Airport is about 30 kilometers away from the urban area. There is a civil aviation shuttle bus between the airport and the urban area. The terminal is Blue Sky Hotel, which takes about 40 minutes by car. Ticket price, 20 yuan. Generally speaking, as long as there are flights arriving, there will be airport buses waiting in the city.

To the airport downtown.

From 6:30 to 22:00, there is a bus about every half hour.

Blue Sky Hotel is a little far from Dayan Ancient City, around 7 yuan. You can also choose to take the bus to Dayan Ancient City in Lijiang, and take 1 road or 1 1 road when you go out on the road, two stops. Ticket price 1 yuan, about 10 minutes. Get off at the entrance of the ancient city, and you will arrive near the north entrance of the ancient city (the landmark waterwheel of the ancient city).

Take a taxi

Didi or taxi, the price is about 80- 100 yuan (the toll has been paid), no meter; 3. Blue minibus: Reference price 80 yuan/car can generally take 6-7 people; 2 trains Kunming-Lijiang trains run 8 times a day; 6.

It will become a reality for Kunming to spend the night in Lijiang by train. Depart from Kunming Station in the evening and arrive in Lijiang the next morning. Lowest fare for hard sleeper 14 1.5 yuan. Lijiang Railway Station is located in Shangji Village, Nankou District, Yulong County, about 10 km away from Lijiang City.

Railway Station-Old Town of Lijiang

1. Bus: You can take bus No.4, 16 and 18 from the railway station to Lijiang City. Take bus No.4 and get off at Old Town of Lijiang North Exit, but it's hard to wait. Bus No.8 arrives at Bailong Square at the south gate of the ancient city. If you want to go to the waterwheel, you can transfer to bus 1 1, and take bus 16 to Fuhui Market (opposite to Li Kelong Supermarket) and then transfer to bus 1 1 to the north gate of Guchengkou or Shuhe Ancient Town, but it is not easy to wait for the bus.

2. Taxi: There are drip trucks and taxis to choose from, 30-50 yuan. Generally speaking, 40 yuan is fair, so don't bargain in advance;

3. Carpooling: Just after leaving the train station, someone called. Go to the ancient city alone 10 yuan. But be careful not to trust the inns and tourist routes they sell halfway. Generally, there are regular cooperative inns, which will send you to promote various tourist routes and then divide them into inns.

4. Chartered car: 40 yuan/van can seat 6 people.

Old Town of Lijiang-Railway Station

public transportation

1. You can take bus No.4 from Old Town of Lijiang exit (horizontal square) to the railway station.

2. Take bus 18 from Bailong Square in the south gate of the ancient city to the railway station. 3) Take bus 1 1 from Guchengkou to Fuhui Market (opposite to Li Kelong Supermarket), and take bus 16 to the railway station. Get off at the College of Arts and Sciences of Yunnan Normal University, walk about 1000m, and take a taxi: 30-50 yuan. Generally speaking, 40 yuan is fair, so don't bargain in advance.

Tip: 1. Not all the No.4 buses arrive at the railway station. Only people with the sign "Arrive at the train station" in the lower right corner of the front can get on the bus.

2. If you are at the gate of the ancient city (waterwheel) and want to go to the railway station, I suggest you take bus No.2, No.3 and No.4 to Bailong Square, and then take the opposite bus 18, which is more reliable. After all, there are many bus trips, so you don't have to wait that long. Take bus 18, and remember to take different routes back and forth. When you go back, you won't pass Bailong Square and Zhong Yi Market. So, be sure to go to Zhong Yi Market (the one from the train station) and take the bus. Otherwise, you won't wait!

: Precautions

1. Because the altitude in Yunnan is relatively high, the ultraviolet rays are particularly strong! Be Big! Be Big! (the important thing is said three times), pay special attention to sun protection! In order to avoid sunburn, you must bring sunglasses, sunscreen (preferably 50 times), sunscreen clothing, sun hat, moisturizing cream, hydrating mask, lip balm, umbrella and other sunscreen products. When I was in Lijiang, I didn't pay much attention to sun protection at first. As a result, after two days, my skin began to be very dry, and my sunburned skin even turned red. For beauty, one! In position. Yes! Do it! All right! Guard! Sun!

2. The temperature difference between morning and evening in Yunnan is quite large (5- 18 degrees Celsius). Pay attention to clothes when traveling to Yunnan. You can wear a half-sleeved T-shirt as a base and bring a few more coats that are easy to put on and take off. If you don't want to rent a local cotton-padded jacket to climb the snowy mountain, you can bring a thicker one yourself.

3. Take photos and wear them. Lijiang has a strong national flavor, and a set of colorful national costumes is particularly eye-catching in the ancient city. Lijiang is also particularly suitable for literary style, white shirt, A-line skirt and special literary style. Wen belongs to a place suitable for taking small fresh photos, and a simple white skirt can highlight the fairy spirit. Prepare several scarves or ethnic shawls with beautiful colors, which is especially useful when taking beautiful photos.

4. Don't wear high heels. Many ancient cities are ancient.

5. Prepare the selfie stick. In crowded places, we can hold the selfie stick high to shoot. The waterwheel suggests shooting during the day, and both scenery and people can be photographed. The night view of Sifang Street is more beautiful than during the day. Ancient buildings need tickets, so it is recommended to go during the day and not at night.

: pit prevention strategy

1. If you see people wearing national costumes in Old Town of Lijiang, don't take photos at will. This is a charge.

There are many wine trays in Old Town of Lijiang, so it is wrong for you to really regard it as a city of business. Wechat shakes, temporarily knowing that as long as I take you to the bar, 99% are wine trays. If the fruit bowl is expensive, red wine can kill you! Don't be blind and confident about your appearance. Your face value is as high as that of Daniel Wu and Wallace Chung. After all, this situation is rare.

3. Sometimes the maintenance fee will be checked at the entrance of the ancient city. Sometimes we will go to three-star and above hotels in the ancient city to check the food maintenance fee. The maintenance fee of the ancient city is valid for one week, and the working hours of the staff are 9:00- 17:00. There is no charge for going to Sifang Street after work. If you want to go to the snow-capped mountains during your trip, you can buy them in advance. You must have a receipt for the maintenance fee of the ancient city to go to the Snow Mountain, and vehicles in the ancient city are not allowed to enter.

Don't trust all kinds of flower cakes, silverware, maca and so on recommended by the innkeeper. Almost all have to take kickbacks. Handmade shawls all over the street are actually made in Yiwu, but you can buy a photo for tens of dollars and twenty dollars.

5. Be careful of pickpockets wherever you go and protect your belongings; At one time, there were many pickpockets in Old Town of Lijiang.

6. Don't be tempted by a "day trip" or a van with a low asking price. Be careful when you arrive at the scenic spot. You would rather spend a little more money than go to a regular travel agency.

7. There are many tourists in the scenic spot. Be careful, ignore them and don't swear. All gangs. It is dangerous to go out. Thank you politely. No, it's okay.

7. There are alleys, streams, bridges and Qingshi Road in Old Town of Lijiang. If you are not careful, you will get lost (it is recommended to buy a map). If there is no clear destination, the ideal route is to start from the north gate waterwheel, enter the urban area downstream, and come out against the current.

I recommend a very useful way to arrange the route, that is, mark all the places you want to go with a map, so that you can know which places are closer and you can go together.

For example, Black Dragon Pool, Shogunate, Sifang Street and Wangu Road are all in the ancient city. What must be said here is that if you want to visit all these scenic spots in the ancient city, you must buy an ancient city maintenance fee and a 80 yuan one, which is valid for one week. It is difficult to evade tickets because the inspection is strict now. Some locals can take you in by the path, but generally it costs 20 yuan once, and it costs more than 80 yuan to get in and out several times.

What's more, like Lion Mountain and Shogunate, they have to show their tickets to the ancient city and buy another ticket.

Days of play: 3-5 days are recommended.

Due to the scattered scenic spots in Lijiang, most tourists will spend 3-5 days visiting Gulian, Old Town of Lijiang, Shuhe Ancient Town, Lashihai and Yulong Snow Mountain in Lijiang. If you choose to go to Lugu Lake, you need to stay for about 5 days.
