Wanhe Park is located in the shallow water lake area on the west bank of Yilong Lake, two kilometers east of Shiping County, Honghe Hani and Yi Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province. Every June-June 10, bright red, pink, milky white and purple lotus flowers compete to bloom, and a dragon lake is dotted with a sea of flowers. When you take a small wooden boat into the lotus pond or board the lotus pavilion to enjoy flowers, take photos and taste fresh lotus seeds, you will feel like a gentleman in the water and feel very high. Honghe Hani and Yi Autonomous Prefecture is located in Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau. There are limestone mountains, plateaus, valleys, dam areas, hills and other landforms. The altitude difference is great and the terrain is extremely complicated. The region has abundant precipitation, abundant sunshine, small annual temperature difference and humid climate, which belongs to monsoon climate, mainly subtropical plateau monsoon climate.

What are the seven most worthwhile attractions in Lijiang?

Seven scenic spots worth visiting in Lijiang: Lugu Lake, Lashihai, Tea Horse Ancient Road, Yulong Snow Mountain, Tiger Leaping Gorge, Blue Moon Valley and Sifang Street.

Lugu Lake, located at the junction of Yanyuan County, Sichuan Province and ninglang county, Yunnan Province, is under the jurisdiction of Sichuan and Yunnan, bordering Lugu Lake Town, Yanyuan County (formerly Zuosuo District) in the east and Yongning Township, ninglang county in the west. The lake is slightly northwest-southeast, with an area of 50. 1 km2 and a storage capacity of 2.252 billion cubic meters.

Lugu Lake belongs to plateau fault subsidence lake, and belongs to Jinsha River, the main stream of the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, and Litang River system, the tributary of Yalong River. It is the highest lake in Yunnan Province and the third largest deep-water lake in China. Around Lugu Lake, Mosuo people, Yi people and Pumi people mainly live, and along the coast, there are 7 ethnic groups of Mongolians, with about 6.5438+0.3 million people. Beautiful natural environment and peculiar ethnic customs make it a famous tourist attraction.

Lashihai is located in the middle of Lashiba, which is 10 km west of Lijiang City. It is the first nature reserve named after "wetland" in Yunnan Province, adjacent to the rose base with flowers. "Lashi" is translated into Gunasi, "Lashi" is a barren dam, and "Stone" is new, which means a new barren dam.

Lashihai was originally a part of the ancient geosyncline in northwest Yunnan. During the Mesozoic Yanshan movement, the fold uplifted into land and became a quasi-plain in Miocene. With the development of orogeny in Hengduan Mountains, from the end of Pliocene to the beginning of Pleistocene, the quasi-plain under Yulong Snow Mountain was divided into three highland intermountain basins with relative height difference of 65,438+000 ~ 200 meters.

Lashi dam is the highest dam among them, and there is still a water area in the dam. Lijiang is an inland area. When you see a slightly larger lake, it is called the sea, so it is called Lashihai, with an altitude of 2437 meters.

Lijiang classic tourist route

First, eat.

To tell the truth, there is nothing super delicious in Lijiang. Baba in Lijiang is just a sesame seed cake without ingredients, and crossing the bridge rice noodles is just a bowl of chicken soup, not to mention the others. Even most Naxi natives are used to the flavor of Sichuan cuisine. It is suggested to board a meal in an inn or find a Sichuan restaurant to solve the problem of food and clothing. Personally, Lijiang is a delicious restaurant, with preserved pork ribs and potato chicken in Xiangshan market, pig's feet hot pot in the south gate of the ancient city, and black goats with skins in Xincheng, and roadside stalls. As for the dried yak meat sold everywhere in the ancient city, you can buy it at the price of ordinary dried yak meat, which is generally ten or twenty yuan a catty.

Second, buy

Lijiang's main specialties are Pu 'er tea, silverware and jade, wood carving, fur bags, shawls and scarves and other handmade products. The efficacy of Pu 'er tea is that its tea quality is milder than other teas, which can not only warm the stomach without hurting it, but also reduce blood fat. It is more suitable for the elderly to drink Pu 'er tea, because Pu 'er tea can promote gastrointestinal peristalsis and digestion. Lijiang is a place of origin. A knowledgeable person bought 200 pieces of Pu 'er tea, which is worth several thousand pieces in other cities.

Dongba cigarettes sold everywhere in Old Town of Lijiang are fake, and the local tradition of Naxi people is to smoke tobacco with bamboo hookahs. The furs sold everywhere in Old Town of Lijiang are basically the skins of bobcats and big dogs. There is no such thing as a grass wolf and a grass leopard. According to the color of fur, the price can be reduced to 65,438+000 yuan-within 300 yuan.

Old Town of Lijiang has been a distribution center for silverware and jade articles since ancient times. Jewelry is not only fashionable but also cheap. Generally, you can buy it for ten or twenty dollars, and there are hundreds of expensive ones. Generally, even in Lijiang, there is no pure silver with a content of 99.9 at all, up to 92.5. Most shops only sell silverware for tens of dollars. Although the prices of these distinctive styles are relatively convenient in Lijiang, they are doubled or even dozens of times in other cities.

Carpenters in Lijiang mostly carve with azaleas. Generally, the line carving costs 50 to 80 yuan, while the relief is priced according to the specific technology and size, generally around 300 to 400 yuan. Shops generally quote about 800 to 1000 yuan. The more distinctive ones are Hunting Map, God of War, Mima, Dapeng Bird and Frog Bagg.

Tip: Although the wholesale store is already very cheap, I still hope that guests can go to the store in the ancient city to bargain first, so that they can experience the fun of shopping ~ ~ When buying valuables such as sterling silver jewelry, jadeite jade, crystal gemstones, plateau medicinal materials, please be sure to go to the Quality Supervision Bureau for testing, regardless of trust or store size. Even if the baby buys these by himself or takes the guests to a familiar store, it is recommended to go to the supervision bureau for testing, because buying them with confidence can make him have a pleasant trip.

Three: play

The main scenic spots around Lijiang are the Glacier Park Yulong Snow Mountain, the unrestrained and beautiful primitive Lugu Lake, the Lashihai where migratory birds gather in wetlands, the ancient tea-horse road passing through virgin forests, the open grassland Shangri-La, the invincible Meili Snow Mountain, the Qiangui Mountain with Danxia landform, the Laojun Mountain with rich vegetation and ecology, the Tiger Leaping Gorge with three parallel rivers, and the stone village that has lived on the boulder for generations.

The cultural performances in Lijiang mainly include lishui sands and Naxi ancient music, and the songs mainly include Datiao Song, Dongbaji Rijing, Naxi Jingdi and Naxi Wine Song.

I suggest you come to Lijiang and don't take any day trips to Lijiang. It'll be like driving a duck. It's not fun at all. Even if it is the first time to come to Lijiang, it is enough to find a trusted innkeeper to provide advice, which is both economical and fun.

Different seasons are suitable for going to different scenic spots. Lijiang has many natural scenery, which is suitable for many tours. It is recommended not to visit all the famous scenic spots at once. On the one hand, time and energy are limited. On the other hand, if you visit a scenic spot in the wrong season, you will lose the fun of truly experiencing the classics. For example, the Yulong Snow Mountain in October is often blocked by fog. At this time, it's still boring for you to go shopping. You need sunny snow-capped mountains to play well in that season. It's better to play the scenic spots suitable for the season first, and the unsuitable scenic spots will come again next time.

One thing to be reminded is that please understand the relatively simple living facilities in the local area with a tolerant attitude and respect the folk customs of ethnic minorities. Although the natural scenery around Lijiang is charming, travel and play will still be affected by factors such as weather changes and personal preferences. Please make some psychological preparations appropriately.

Fourth, live.

It is recommended to stay in an inn in the ancient city when traveling to Lijiang. The price is relatively low, but the folk customs you enjoy are absolutely valuable. It's convenient to live in a bar near Sifang Street, but it's noisy when you sleep. It is recommended to stay in a quiet place. On the one hand, looking for an inn depends on the price. Ordinary rooms are 20-40 in off-season, 50- 150 in standard rooms, and slightly more expensive in peak season. On the other hand, it depends on whether the courtyard is comfortable, because sunbathing is a special enjoyment in Lijiang. If you sunbathe in a square Naxi courtyard, where there are pleasant flowers, you may find a meter of sunshine of your own. I think Naxi pure land is good, and the yard has a local Naxi style. Personally, in Lijiang, the noise of bars is not as attractive as the sunshine in the courtyard. Being in a daze and comfortable is actually the cheapest and most expensive thing in the world.

Many guests who take a taxi from the passenger station to Old Town of Lijiang will meet the taxi driver and say that the so-and-so inn is their home, and the guests staying there are very cheap. However, some people believe that I am really speechless about this childish lie. What a coincidence! Most bus station drivers have their own inns.

There are day shifts and night shifts from Kunming to Lijiang. It takes about 8- 10 hours. After arriving at Lijiang New Town Bus Terminal, if you take a taxi around 7 yuan to the entrance of the ancient city police station, the inn will usually send a young lady to pick up the guests.

In addition, Old Town of Lijiang songs which are widely loved by local people and tourists mainly include: Datiao Song, Dongbaji Rijing, Naxi Jingdi, Naxi Jiuge, Love of Ancient City, etc.

The most worthwhile places to visit are Yulong Snow Mountain and Baishuitai ... the ancient city ... the paradise of Lashi sea birds ... Lugu Lake daughter country.

Introduction of Lijiang scenic spots in Yunnan

Lijiang tourist attractions are represented by one city, one mountain and one lake (Old Town of Lijiang, Yulong Snow Mountain and Lugu Lake). Other well-known tourist attractions in Lijiang include Shuhe Ancient Town, Lashihai, Tiger Leaping Gorge, Laojun Mountain, Wenbi Mountain, Baisha Ancient Town and the First Bay of the Yangtze River.

I. Old Town of Lijiang

Old Town of Lijiang

Old Town of Lijiang is a well-preserved ancient town of ethnic minorities in China. In a narrow sense, Dayan Ancient Town refers to the main part of Old Town of Lijiang. Lijiang Dayan Ancient City has famous small scenic spots such as Sifang Street, Dashiqiao, Bar Street and Shogunate. There are relatively concentrated inns and tourist souvenirs with national characteristics in China. It is a must-see for Lijiang tourism.

Comments: It is precisely because Old Town of Lijiang is so famous. During the tourist season such as the Golden Week, the streets and alleys are crowded and businesses are busy, completely losing the leisure characteristics of Lijiang tourism. Therefore, it is strongly recommended to avoid the tourist season as much as possible, especially to travel to Lijiang during the Golden Week.

Second, Yulong Snow Mountain

Jade Dragon Snow Mountain

Yulong Snow Mountain is a snow mountain with low latitude (namely the south). Up to now, no one has been able to climb to the top, the sacred mountain of Naxi nationality in Lijiang, a snow-capped mountain famous for its double suicide culture. Yulong Snow Mountain Scenic Area includes Ganhaizi, Yunshan Ping, Maoniuping, Glacier Park and golf courses with higher altitude in China.

Comments: It is precisely because Yulong Snow Mountain is a low-latitude snow mountain, coupled with global warming, the number of tourists going up the mountain has surged, and the amount of snow in Yulong Snow Mountain is decreasing every year. In severe cases, artificial snowfall can only guarantee the scenery of snow-capped mountains. Therefore, it is also recommended to avoid going to Yulong Snow Mountain during the tourist season. Some people say that there is no need to go to Yulong Snow Mountain at all, and it is more spectacular from a distance than from a close look.

Third, Lugu Lake.

Lugu Lake

Lugu Lake is famous for the Mosuo people's marriage custom, the later matriarchal society, and the original and quiet paradise-like lakes and mountains. Lugu Lake Scenic Area includes Li Ge Island, Luoshui Village and Gem Goddess Mountain. Pig trough boat, Surima wine and wooden pagoda house are the symbols of Lugu Lake.

Comments: The marriage customs of Lugu Lake tend to be over-publicized and distorted, which destroys the simplicity of Lugu Lake to some extent.

Fourth, Shuhe ancient town.

shuhe old town

Shuhe ancient town is called "Shihe" in ancient times and "Shaowu" in Naxi language. Before tourism development, it was called Longquan Village. Because there are several crystal clear springs in the village, it is also called "the hometown of clear springs". Shuhe Ancient Town is an important part of "Old Town of Lijiang, a World Cultural Heritage" awarded by UNESCO. History is also longer than Lijiang Dayan Ancient City. In ancient times, Shuhe was the gathering place where Lijiang Tusi introduced skilled craftsmen from the Central Plains, and it was also the handicraft center of Lijiang. Today, Shuhe is known as an ancient town with a smaller capital and a quieter life than Lijiang. Take "the ancient town in the countryside, the village in the ancient town" as the main business card. Lijiang has a big stone bridge-Qinglong Bridge, and a clear spring with artistic conception-Jiuding Longtan.

Comments: Shuhe Ancient Town is a semi-ancient and semi-artificial ancient town which is protected and developed by Kunming Ye Ding Real Estate Group. A large area at the entrance of the ancient town is an antique commercial street. Crossing the Qinglong Bridge is the real Shuhe River.

Verb (abbreviation of verb) Lashihai

Lashihai

Lashihai is a plateau lake, located in Lashixiang, Yulong County, Lijiang City. "Rush" is a Naxi language, which means a new barren dam. Yunnan people call the lake "Haizi", so it is called Lashihai. Lashihai is a paradise for birds and the back garden of Lijiang, but it has not been officially developed so far and is a famous "wild scenic spot" in Lijiang. Because of its "wildness", migratory birds have been living here continuously. Lashihai has also become the most interesting place in Lijiang. You can ride horses, row boats, watch birds, have picnics and camp in Lashihai.

Comments: It is precisely because of the "wildness" of Lashihai that the tourism management here is not standardized. There are many quotations for the same cycling route, which varies from person to person.

Six, Tiger Leaping Gorge

Tiger Leaping Gorge

Tiger Leaping Gorge is located at the junction of Yulong Snow Mountain in Lijiang and Haba Snow Mountain in Shangri-La, about 60 kilometers away from Old Town of Lijiang. Tiger Leaping Gorge is divided into three sections: Upper Tiger Jump, Middle Tiger Jump and Lower Tiger Jump, with a total length of18km and a vertical height difference of 3,790m. It is one of the deepest canyons in the world. In the 1980s, foreign backpackers began to hike here, and gradually began to have inns to provide light meals. Now it is a very mature hiking route. Tiger Leaping Gorge is located on the way from Lijiang to Shangri-La, and usually combines some outdoor routes such as "Happy Four-Day Tour" and "Rain Collapse Six-Day Tour".

Comments: Tiger jumping is a good hiking route, which requires a certain amount of physical strength. Walking on Tiger Leaping Gorge should avoid rainy days as much as possible, which may lead to landslides and other dangers.

Seven, Laojunshan

Laojunshan

Laojun Mountain is known as the ancestor of mountainous areas in Yunnan. According to legend, Taishang Laojun was an alchemist here, hence the name. Laojun Mountain is located at 1 10 km southwest of Old Town of Lijiang, bordering Lanping and Jianchuan, with its main peak at an altitude of about 4,300m. Different from Yulong Snow Mountain, Laojun Mountain is lush in four seasons, with vast and quiet virgin forests, wild azaleas everywhere, plateau meadows and 99 glacial lakes, commonly known as 99 Longtan. The Danxia landform formed by red sandstone has more than 200 square kilometers.

Comments: At present (2009), Laojun Mountain has not been overexploited, and there are few tourists, but the strategic level of Lijiang tourism development has been mentioned, so we should go as early as possible. In addition, Laojun Mountain is adjacent to Shaxi Ancient Town in Jianchuan County, Dali, and Shaxi Ancient Town in Yunnan is called "the only surviving ancient market on the ancient tea-horse road", which is quite quaint and quiet, and is well worth visiting.

Eight, Wenbishan

Wenbishan

Wenbi Mountain and Yulong Snow Mountain are surrounded by Lijiang Dam in the south and north. Yulong Snow Mountain is famous for its natural landscape, and Wenbi Mountain is famous for its human landscape. Wenfeng Temple, one of the five Lama temples in Lijiang, is here. Wenbihai under Wenbishan is listed as an "international wetland reserve" together with Lashihai.

Comments: It is a good angle to see Yulong Snow Mountain on Wenbi Mountain. There are not many tourists on Wenbi Mountain. When the Buddha smoke rises, people will have the association of being in a fairyland.

Nine, Baisha ancient town

Baisha Ancient Town

Baisha Ancient Town is an ancient town in Lijiang, located at the foot of Yulong Snow Mountain. It is the early settlement of Naxi ancestors after they entered Lijiang Basin, the birthplace of Naxi culture, and the political and religious center of Lijiang before Song and Yuan Dynasties. Up to now, there are still religious buildings such as Liu Li Hall, Dabaoji Palace, Dading Pavilion and King Kong Hall. There are also cultural and artistic heritages such as white sand murals and white sand fine music.

Comments: Baisha Ancient Town has not been officially developed, but the development right has been given to Ye Ding Group, which is responsible for the protection and development of Shuhe Ancient Town. In addition to ancient buildings, Baisha ancient town has a large area of pastoral scenery. Baisha Ancient Town is also an ancient town near China Snow Mountain.

Ten, the first bay of the Yangtze River

The first bend of the Yangtze River

The first bay of the Yangtze River is located in Shigu Town, Yulong County, Lijiang City. Jinsha River, a tributary of the Yangtze River, made a spectacular turn here because it is called the first bay of the Yangtze River. Shigu Town, the first bay of the Yangtze River, is the early origin of Lijiang place names.

Comments: Naxi people in Shigu Town make it at sunrise and rest at sunset. It seems that their lives have not been greatly affected by tourism, so they are also called "Lijiang Life".
