Under the cold sky, small pieces of wetland dam lake are divided into large and small inlets. From time to time, a large group of wintering waterfowl living in Lashihai can be seen flapping their wings, playing for food at the water's edge, or flying between the sky and the lake, forming a plateau wetland. Lashihai has therefore become a big bird-watching resort.
Small details to pay attention to when visiting Lijiang
The scenic spots in Yunnan are too scattered, so it is a waste of time not to play by yourself unless you do your homework very well.
There is a big temperature difference between morning and evening in the scenic spot, so clothes should be prepared in advance, and it is best to wear sports shoes;
Make a general itinerary before you leave, because it's easy to book a hotel, or you won't know where to stay, especially if you book temporarily in the peak season, there will be no room and there will be a lot of people.
Don't believe the stories of taxis and hitchhiking drivers who "run the road" in the street, saying that 5 yuan will take you to your destination, which is very close. In fact, they just sell you to other travel agencies to make money. Be sure to remember that there is no free lunch in the world, otherwise you will have to spend at least 3, yuan more.
Sunscreen products: The sunshine in Yunnan is strong. Sunglasses, parasols, sun hats, sunscreens (with a high index) and lip balm can effectively prevent ultraviolet rays. If no sun protection measures are taken, the skin will be easily tanned or sunburned.
drugs: according to your health condition, you should also bring the needed standing drugs, such as anti-inflammatory, analgesic, carsick, heat-clearing and detoxicating drugs, wind oil essence, tiger balm and so on.
