There is still a long way to go from Wuhan to Lijiang.
It’s been a gradual and wonderful journey.
It won't change at first, but you will benefit greatly from a deeper understanding of Lijiang's charm and cultural atmosphere.
This is a tour guide from Wuhan to Lijiang.
At the end of September 2017, when I finished class in October, I had already decided to take annual leave, but we can take it even if we don't want to.
Although we submitted the application, approval was subject to availability.
While we were submitting our annual leave applications, we were looking high and low for cheap air tickets.
When we submitted the application, we started to travel to the northwest with low-cost air tickets from Lanzhou. We also brought along a younger sister and her family who had always wanted to travel but had no time and no plans.
The annual leave is approved and there is only one week left before the trip.
This week, I have to work consecutive shifts, so there is no normal holiday time.
At this time, the air tickets to Lanzhou doubled - and a low-price air ticket appeared in front of me.
Now who wants to buy the increased air tickets, I decisively changed my strategy. I found that the air tickets in Lijiang were low at this time, so I stopped working overtime every day and squeezed out some time to make strategies.
Later, it turned out that the time was really too short and the strategy was not perfect.
Thinking about our first trip to my sister’s house, we had an old person and a small child, so I didn’t have much time to think about it.
Both Lugu Lake and Shangri-La chose 2-day tours.
About air tickets: Due to time and price considerations, Xiangpeng Airlines was selected to fly back and forth.
This time I had a particularly bad impression of it.
No free baggage check, no meals, and the flight was suddenly canceled when we came back.
Although he helped us return to Han in the end, my whole family was tortured to death.
About the 2-day tour: In fact, chartering a car is the best choice for tours, but I was too pressed for time and didn’t think it through thoroughly, so I chose a group tour that requires almost no worries.
Everything is arranged and the price is relatively cheap, but if you want to have fun, it's best to charter a car if possible.
Regarding the weather: the trip lasted 6 days, 4 of which rained.
The light rain that can be covered by a hat is not too cold, but such rainy days seriously affect the mood, play, and scenery.
The beauty of Lijiang is only in the sun, the scenery in the rain is really ordinary.
In Lijiang at the end of October, there is no need for a down jacket, a woolen coat is enough, and a light jacket that is not afraid of the cold will be enough.
When the sun is shining, short sleeves are available.
They say that the weather in Wuhan is like reading a book, but now I know that the weather in Lijiang is not as good as Wuhan.
About Van Gogh: Lijiang River (and surrounding areas) is waterproof, cold-proof and sun-proof. Various precautions.
Even if you have never been there, you have always heard about it and you can see it everywhere online.
Do people who have never been to the plateau care most about Van Gogh?
The altitude of Lijiang is more than 2,000 points (I only remember the approximate altitude, but you can go there by yourself), Lugu Lake is 2,690, Shangri-La is 3,625, and Jade Dragon Snow Mountain is 4,506.
No one can tell who will have a high level of opposition and who will not, and there are no rules. It all depends on your own physique and luck.
My mother has hereditary heart disease and high blood pressure.
She usually takes good care of herself and has never been sick.
My niece is 5 years old.
She is as lively as any other child and can get sick.
They didn't react at all.
I am the most ordinary normal person.
I had a little reaction in Shangri-La, but not at all in Jade Dragon Snow Mountain.
Regarding food: I can make travel plans and look for beautiful places, but I just can’t find good food.
Every time I travel, I eat wherever I go.
When I encounter something delicious, I am lucky.
If I don’t get something delicious, I won’t eat it next time.
So I have nothing to recommend you about the food.
However, Lijiang’s specialty flower cake is delicious, but it is not called flower cake.
After tasting it, I know that the flower cake must be bought from Jiahua, and I will buy Pan Jixiang next time.
Lijiang is now full of grilled food.
10 boxes/box, buy 5 boxes and get 1 box free, only for Jiahua and 3 yuan/box, buy 10 boxes and get 1 box free.
Do you think it is expensive, but the taste is not bad at all?
If you want to buy other products, it’s not impossible, but it is recommended to buy one or two boxes to try.
You may regret buying too much.
I heard that rice noodles are the most authentic in China. My original itinerary was to spend the first and last days in Shuhe Ancient Town and Dayan Ancient Town (commonly known as Lijiang Ancient Town), two days in Lugu Lake, and two days in Shangri-La.
But on the way off the plane, the master told us that if we plan properly, we can catch the plane on the last day of the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain trip. The whole family was moved, so we temporarily added the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain to the itinerary.
I sincerely thank the chartered bus master for giving us reasonable advice, otherwise I would regret missing Jade Dragon Snow Mountain.
When we arrived at the place in front of the beautiful scenery, we discovered that there was something wrong with our camera. It could barely be used, but it had lost the effect of a mirrorless camera.
Point-and-shoot is like a digital camera, the scenery in the rain is really much worse than in the sun, so the photos downstairs are much worse than what you see in your eyes.
Please be alone to enjoy the beautiful scenery under the sun.
