1. Lijiang City, Yunnan Province is located at the junction of Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau and Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in the northwest of Yunnan Province. The average elevation of downtown area is 2,465,438+08m, and it is also called "the four best preserved ancient cities" with Langzhong, Pingyao, Shanxi and Shexian, Anhui, which are the second batch of national historical and cultural cities. Lijiang is located in the Greater Shangri-La area. Shangri-La, which we are talking about here, is a particularly vast area. Whether Dr. Joseph Charles Francis Rock or Mr. James Silton, Shangri-La in their minds is the last fairyland on earth, a beautiful place where neither of them can tell the exact location. But in Tibetan, Shangri-La means a place with snow-capped mountains. Diqing in Yunnan, Daocheng in Sichuan and Linzhi in Tibet all have wonderful scenery described by Joseph Charles Francis Rock and James Silton, and they all have ancient legends related to Shangri-La. In fact, the specific location of Shangri-La really doesn't matter. Everyone has their own Shangri-La, which is a paradise in dreams. As the ancient Tibetan legend says: You don't have to go far, Shambhala is in your heart.
2. Lijiang traffic
1. There is only one airport in Lijiang, called Sanyi Airport, which is 25 kilometers away from the city. Take a taxi from 100 to 150. Only the airport bus 20 yuan has opened flights to Shanghai, Beijing, Chongqing, Chengdu, Guangzhou and Zhejiang. It is the largest airport in northwest Yunnan except Changshui Airport.
2. There is only one railway station in Lijiang, which is 0/2km away from the urban area/kloc-0. Take a taxi to 40 yuan. At present, the trains of this railway are Kunming to Lijiang and Lijiang to Dali. Lijiang is currently the terminal, and the railway from Lijiang to Shangri-La is still under construction.
3. Recommended tourist attractions in Lijiang
Old Town of Lijiang 1
Old Town of Lijiang:
People live in Lijiang for a day.
Mufu:
Stepping into the door of the scarlet wooden house, my eyes suddenly opened and a magnificent palace stood on the open ground. The base of white marble is beautifully carved and magnificent, which makes people feel like they are in the palace.
Black Dragon Pool:
A five-hole stone arch bridge, like a rainbow lying in the waves, divides the pool into two parts. The exquisite and beautiful Wen Yi Pavilion and Deyue Building stand in the center of the pool, surrounded by water, and connected with the shore by a bridge. When the weather is fine, the pool water reflects the snow-capped mountains in the distance. Green trees, Hong Ting, stone bridges and snow-capped mountains complement each other. The sky and water are the same color, so beautiful that time wants to stand still. The noise outside will make people feel like a lifetime ago, whether indoors or outdoors.
Shuhe:
Jiuzhai returned without looking at the water, and Lijiang returned without looking at the ancient town. Shuhe is the most worthwhile town to stay here in a daze, bask in the sun and live in. The fields are beautiful, the bridges are flowing, and the ancient tea-horse road is like this. Order a glass of wine quietly, read a book and listen to quiet music in the bar.
Baisha:
The afternoon sun shines warmly on the farmer's corn, and the golden corn looks beautiful under the blue sky. This small village, which does not show mountains and rivers, silently tells the true story. Only when you set foot on the stone steps here can you feel the real peace. There is an endless wheat field ahead, and behind it is the magnificent Yulong Snow Mountain. Can you have a heavy precipitation to experience this still beauty?
Yulong Snow Mountain:
Conquer the beautiful Yulong Snow Mountain, dreaming of a meter of sunshine.
Yulong Snow Mountain is a sacred mountain in the hearts of Naxi and Lijiang people. It has the most primitive Dongba hieroglyphics, fixed concepts, fixed lines and strokes, and fixed pronunciation. The snow-capped mountains persistently guard the Naxi people.
Go to the snow-capped mountains, look for a meter of sunshine in your heart, and bloom in the snow area of 4506 meters.
"Jade Dragon Mountain has snow and sky all year round. The world attracted me. I was awakened and suddenly surprised-but there was mud around me, and inadvertently, the grass grew."
Lashihai:
The ancient tea-horse road leads to the end of the world, and bells ring in the mountains.
Lashihai is a national wetland park with lakes and grasslands, and a large number of migratory birds migrate in winter. Choosing a day to ride horses, row boats, watch birds, eat caravan meals and experience caravan life on the Yunnan-Tibet line carries thousands of years of culture and the spirit of caravan, which makes people understand the fragrance of the years.
Then go to Shuhe for free activities. Compared with Old Town of Lijiang, Shuhe ancient town is simple, quiet and leisurely, with small bridges and flowing water, which makes Shuhe more idyllic, but it has unique charm.
Lugu Lake:
Daughter country in Lugu Lake Dream Paradise
The intoxicating lakes and mountains, ancient, primitive and mysterious ethnic customs, primitive religious culture, and infatuated singing and dancing all make people feel like they are in heaven.
See the best water quality and experience the duet on the pig trough boat; Watch an audio-visual feast of Mosuo matriarchal family; There is a wedding bridge; Take pictures under the lover tree ......
Time stands still here.
Tiger leaping gorge:
The rushing river, surging, was blocked by a boulder, and the roar of the hitters was deafening. The river washes away the rocks on the shore, and the impact for many years presents beautiful stone patterns and shapes. I saw many reefs all over the beach, sharp as serrated teeth, and suddenly an amazing waterfall appeared, which was deafening. This is an amazing beauty.
Shangri-la:
Shangri-La in my heart, a legendary paradise.
The touchable sky is a mysterious yearning place and a paradise on earth that the world has been looking for for for a long time.
Walking through the Tiger Leaping Gorge and taking photos of Zhongdian, you must go to Dukezong ancient city, see the original Tibetan temples, touch the world's largest prayer wheel and turn three times clockwise.
Stepping on the endless sea of flowers, looking up at the blue sky like tentacle technology, blue and red cooperate so tacitly.
At this moment, I am going over mountains and mountains, not for the afterlife, but for the moment when I meet you here.
Meili Snow Mountain
Listen to nature, explore Shangri-La and make a pilgrimage to Meili Snow Mountain.
The moon is still floating in the sky and the sun is rising. This is Rizhao Jinshan in Meili Snow Mountain. Many people come here, although they can't see it every day. Snow Mountain is a lover in many people's hearts. Meili is not the best in the world, but it is the best in Yunnan-Meili Snow Mountain, our eternal lover. The beauty of Meili Snow Mountain cannot be described in words. Such beautiful scenery is breathtaking and constitutes a magnificent paradise on earth. The pasture at the foot of the glacier, the vegetation under the continuous sunlight, the bright colors and dazzling spots, and the patches of Berberis are also dazzling and fascinating. Whenever I stop and stare at the foot of the mountain, my heart will float into the clear valleys and glaciers.
Rain collapse:
A post road leads to the outside world, and her primitiveness, simplicity and purity exude unique charm. Therefore, she is known as the epitome of Shangri-La, a pure land closest to heaven, a dream paradise-a small village with beautiful scenery and simple folk customs at the foot of Meili Snow Mountain. If you don't go to heaven, then go to yubeng!
Dali:
A place with several reasons for people to stop or even stay, quiet boxes, blue-tiled clear skies, indifference and leisure of the ancient city, chic and elegant double corridors of Erhai Lake, Xizhou, a Buddhist holy place called Jizushan, and ubiquitous snacks in Dali make people fall in love with it.

6. Shopping guide
There are many small shops selling handicrafts in the alleys of Old Town of Lijiang, most of which are handmade. The price is relatively expensive, but we can make a counter-offer. Visitors can not only buy their favorite goods here, but also sometimes see the whole process of making handicrafts.
Zhong Yi market is located in the innermost part of Dayan ancient city, and it is a local market. Yunnan's medicinal materials, fungi and small handicrafts are all cheaper. There are many specialty shops in Old Town of Lijiang, mainly selling silverware, woodcarving, batik, mountain products, Pu 'er tea and national costumes.
Batik: Absolute national style, some with Dongba characters, big scarves, cloaks and even clothes, generally starting from tens of yuan, can be bargained.
Mountain products: Basically, mushrooms and other fungi. There are many kinds of fungi in Yunnan. You can have a look. Please pay attention to the weight if you want to buy them.
Silverware: The silver in Lijiang is snowflake silver. Handmade silverware crafts have high purity, low hardness, high brightness, exquisite craftsmanship and rich and unique shapes. They are rare gifts, ranging from tens to hundreds of yuan, but there are many fakes. It's better to go to a big store. I suggest you have a look. You can usually bargain.
Spirulina: There are many spirulina specialty stores in the ancient city. Chenghai, Yongsheng County, Lijiang, is one of the three largest freshwater lakes in the world, where spirulina grows naturally. Spirulina is the most abundant and balanced organism known to mankind at present. It has many medical and health functions, such as lowering cholesterol, relieving nephrotoxicity, improving human immune function, promoting prostaglandin synthesis, inhibiting and preventing cancer, and accelerating wound healing. It is an ideal medicine and health food with low energy and high efficiency for radiotherapy and chemotherapy, anemia, hepatitis, diabetes, gastric and duodenal ulcer and myelopathy.
Woodcarving: In Naxi art, the most attractive thing is woodcarving. Needless to say, Plutocratic family in Lijiang, even ordinary houses, emphasize carving various patterns on eaves, window sashes, door leaves and furniture. The sculptures of Naxi nationality are very developed. Dongba woodcarving mainly uses rhododendron as the material, and uses line carving, relief carving and three-dimensional carving to carve round, square and three-dimensional patterns. These patterns are concrete or abstract, very simple and beautiful, with national flavor. All these wood carvings were carved after drying, and they didn't crack or deform. Hanging on the wall is a unique decoration.
Camel bell: It is said that camel bell was used by caravans who used to walk on the ancient tea-horse road. It is usually tied around the neck of the lead horse. When the bell rings, other horses can follow the sound. The top is a Yunnan straw hat, the middle is a bronze bell, and the bottom is a Dongba scripture wooden sign, which is mostly auspicious greetings.
Pu 'er tea: Compared with other teas, Pu 'er tea is mild, which warms the stomach without hurting the stomach and can also reduce blood fat. Pu 'er tea is more suitable for the elderly because it can promote gastrointestinal peristalsis and digestion. At present, good tea raw materials are basically pressed cake tea.
Personally, I suggest that you can watch and compare Pu 'er tea. Visitors who don't know much about tea had better not buy too expensive tea.
Shawls: Lijiang Lane Ancient City 1/3 stores sell shawls, and the styles are similar. Slightly distinctive are Mosuo hand-woven shawls and scarves, as well as tie-dyed cloth. In Lijiang, shawls seem to be prepared for it. It's best to wear large underwear with hand-woven lace, casually put on a shawl and walk on the road paved with stones.
A shawl is an essential equipment for traveling in Lijiang. It can also cover your head from the scorching sun.
Dongba paper: Dongba paper is also a very magical thing: it is made of Lijiang Hua Yao, a rare alpine plant unique to Naxi area, and is made by dozens of handmade crafts handed down from Dongba. This is the thickest handmade paper in China, and it is wear-resistant. In the traditional handmade paper in China, only the thick Dongba paper can be written on both sides. Because Hua Yao is slightly toxic, Dongba paper has the characteristics of insect resistance, moth resistance and long storage time. You can make your own Dongba paper in Dongba Paper Mill, which is very fulfilling.
In addition, some petty bourgeoisie shops sell postcards, notebooks and so on. And take the boutique route.
7. Lijiang Travel Tips
1. When you travel to Lijiang, you can book a plane ticket on "Where to Go". You don't have to entrust travel agencies and individual travelers on the street to receive them, except those who are afraid of trouble. You can also refer to the Taobao Air Ticket Raiders written by Goat.
2. Lijiang tourism is the peak season every day, and it is most suitable to go in spring and autumn, avoiding the students' tide during the Golden Week and the winter and summer vacations.
When traveling to Lijiang for the first time, I recommended living in Dayan Ancient City, because it is mature and lively. I have been there several times, and I recommend living in Shuhe, which is quiet and has good conditions, or you can experience it all. Don't be "commercialized" like others.
4. No matter Shuhe or Dayan, it is recommended to stay in an inn, ranging from 100-300 yuan in peak season to more expensive, ranging from 60- 180 yuan in low season, depending on environmental conditions.
When the weather is cold, every inn has an electric blanket, but most of them have no air conditioning. The temperature in Lijiang is moderate, and there is basically no need for air conditioning, especially in summer.
6, the wooden building is not soundproof, couples are cautious, and singles need patience.
7. Most of the girls at the front desk are local MM, simple, dutiful, black, caring for the Lord, and have a general sense of service, so don't care too much.
8. There are generally tea sets and Pu 'er in the foyer. Whether it is raw or cooked, everyone sits down to drink tea and chat freely.
9. Eating in Dayan Ancient City is more expensive. Please go to the new city for dinner. You can recommend potato chicken chops and ribs hot pot. Please consult the hotel owner. There is usually a detailed answer address.
10, airport pick-up is generally 80- 100 one way. It's best to let the inn pick up 50, all of which are vans. There is still half an hour's drive from the airport to the ancient city, and you can see the scenery on the way.
1 1. There are many foreigners, and most of the shops are opened by foreigners. They are hospitable and sociable, so don't be afraid of strangers.
12, Lijiang bar, famous, such as riding a thousand miles alone, one meter sunshine, cherry blossom house, Qin figurine fire pond bar, where beer is generally expensive, and inns can generally discount it.
13. Single boys should be careful when they go. Don't talk to single girls when he sees him. He may be a professional woman.
14, Lijiang Bar has many puzzling people. When they go to single girls, they usually ask for a table. They don't drink wine or smoke cigarettes handed by others. In short, they will not take advantage of what they shouldn't.
15, when you are a little tipsy, you'd better go back to the inn. The inn is closed 12, you can call the door to wake up and open the door. However, this is a bit disturbing.
16, the stars at night are beautiful, especially Lugu Lake, Tiger Leaping Gorge and Stone Town.
17, it is best not to buy things indiscriminately, girls can buy some trinkets.
18, every inn has a wireless network, and basically there are several computers. Some inns have computers in their rooms, so people who can't cut off contact with the outside world, and people who have information panic, please don't be afraid.
19. Most Lijiang inns have dogs. You can walk them. Basically, it can be rubbed.
20. If time is tight, don't forget to visit Tiger Leaping Gorge and Shangri-La. It is better to bask in the sun in Dayan and Shuhe.
2 1, except for bars at night, most shops close early, and people who like quiet are very comfortable, but living near Sifang Street is very noisy.
22. Beautiful photos can be taken anywhere.
