Lijiang has a lot of natural scenery, so you will be happy if you choose a seasonable scenic spot. There is no need to be too demanding.

4. The most beautiful thing in Lijiang is the sky. You are fascinated by the clear sky, flaming clouds and unpredictable clouds in Wan Li.

At present, many domestic cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Chengdu, Chongqing, Guiyang, Kunming and Xishuangbanna have opened direct flights to Lijiang. Usually come to Lijiang, most passengers choose to fly to Kunming first, and then take a ride from Kunming to Lijiang, which is a more economical choice.

Lijiang Airport is 3 kilometers away from Old Town of Lijiang, and the traffic is mainly by civil aviation shuttle buses and taxis.

taxi: downtown 8-1 yuan. The entrance to the ancient city is divided into South Gate, Zhongyi Market, Wenchang Palace and Waterwheel. The big waterwheel is the main entrance, and you usually get off at the north gate parking lot.

Raiders of Four Lijiang Tourist Attractions

Want to know which places are interesting?

Like lively friends, from Old Town of Lijiang Bar Street to Lashihai and then to Yulong Snow Mountain, this is a must-see landmark in Lijiang.

Like quiet friends, from Baisha Ancient Town to Yuhu Village and Wenhai, these are primitive villages that don't often appear in Raiders.

This is an ancient city without walls, with smooth and clean narrow stone roads, completely hand-built houses with civil structures, and small bridges and flowing water everywhere. This is a small humanistic town. Under the bright sunshine, there will always be elderly Naxi people walking leisurely.

2. Shuhe Ancient Town

Shuhe is an important part of Old Town of Lijiang, and its natural scenery, folk customs, historical sites and multicultural landscape are the supplements and extensions of Old Town of Lijiang. As early as the Ming Dynasty, it was already an important market town in Lijiang. Shuhe is surrounded by mountains and waters, and residential houses are scattered. There is a pool of water on the street, which is called "Jiuding Longtan", also known as "spring".

3. Lugu Lake

Lugu Lake, formerly known as Luku Haizi, is surrounded by mountains and mountains, and there are more than three months of snow in a year. Lugu Lake is regarded as "Mother Lake" by local Mosuo people, and also known as "Penglai Wonderland". I'm afraid that Mosuo is the only daughter country in the folklore of all countries in the world. Mosuo people have lived by Lugu Lake for generations, and they still retain the matriarchal clan marriage system of "men don't marry, women don't marry, and they are free to combine and separate".

4. Jade Dragon Snow Mountain

Jade Dragon Snow Mountain is located in the northwest of Lijiang, with 13 peaks in the whole mountain. Because of the glaciers, the snow on the peaks does not melt all the year round, like a vigorous jade dragon lying on the top of the mountain, which has jumped into the Jinsha River, hence the name "Jade Dragon Snow Mountain".

5. Tiger Leaping Gorge in Lijiang

Naxi language is called "Fulu Achang Pass", which is called Silverstone Achang Gorge. It is located at the junction of Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, and also at the junction of Hengduan Mountain in northwest Yunnan and East Yunnan Plateau. Tiger Leaping Gorge is the gorge with the biggest drop in the world. The whole Achang Tiger Leaping Gorge is divided into three sections: upper tiger jump, middle tiger jump and lower tiger jump, with a detour of 25 kilometers. Each section of the river is extremely narrow, and the north bank can only accommodate a one-way mountain road, with waterfalls and huge stones.

6. Lashihai Wetland Park

Lashihai is known as the cradle of life and is the base of the Nature Conservancy of the United States because of its rich aquatic plants and beautiful lake color. Lashihai has changed from a season to a plateau lake with a certain water level. As a mirror, the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain is reflected on the lake surface, and the wintering waterfowl lives safely or flies between the blue sky and white clouds, which constitutes the unique atmosphere of the plateau wetland. Lashihai is a classic place for riding and boating.

Lijiang unpopular tourist attractions recommended

1. A tree

2. Yuhu Village and Yuzhu Qingtian

At the southern foot of Yulong Snow Mountain, there is a village called "Wuluken", which means the village at the foot of the Snow Mountain. This is Yuhu Village. Joseph Charles Francis Rock lived under Yulong Snow Mountain for 27 years, and most of them lived in Yuhu Village. Jade Lake and Snow Mountain Deer Farm are often mentioned in Naxi folk songs. In Yuhu Lake, the snow water is clear, the water plants are swaying, the blue sky and white clouds set off the tall Jade Dragon Snow Peak and reflected in the lake, and nature seems to be deposited at the bottom of the lake. This "Jade Lake Reflection" is one of the famous "Twelve Scenes of Yulong".

3. Baisha Ancient Town and Wenhai

Naxi aborigines still live here. There are often Naxi grandmothers selling wild vegetables at the entrance of Sifang Street, and there are few shops. This ancient town stands quietly and quaint at the foot of the snow-capped mountains. Lijiang used to be the place with the most tourists before tourists flocked to it. From Baisha Town to Fuguo Temple, Wenhai is a wetland on the plateau.

4. Qingxi Reservoir

Qingxi Reservoir is an ordinary reservoir, but the view of the snowy mountain from here is very beautiful. This photo was taken with a mobile phone while Xiaobian was walking one morning. It can be so beautiful without any filter.

5. Baoshan Stone Town

Baoshan Stone Town is located in the Jinsha River Gorge, 11 kilometers north of Lijiang, and is named after more than 1 families living on an independent mushroom-shaped boulder. The tile house in the city is scaly, and the roadway is vertical and horizontal, simple and natural, and it is endless. Lijiang Baoshan Stone Town is surrounded by cliffs on three sides, with a stone slope directly into the Jinsha River, and only two stone gates in the north and south are available for access. It is a real natural barrier city.

Must-eat food in Lijiang

Must-eat hot pot:

Wild mushrooms

Native chicken

Salmon

Black goat

Preserved ribs

Lijiang cuisine is mainly Naxi flavor, with both Sichuan and Guizhou flavors. From pork ribs hot pot, black goat hot pot, wild mushroom hot pot to native chicken hot pot and salmon hot pot, let go of the heavy responsibility of long meat and have a good time together.

Snack recommendation:

Potatoes are abundant in the eastern Yunnan Plateau, which is commonly known as potato by Lijiang people. I once saw a big sister leave Lijiang with nothing, and went to the market to carry a sack of potatoes. How delicious the potatoes are here, just try them. Colorful potatoes can be seen everywhere in the street, with spicy, spicy, cumin and tomato flavors, which are optional for various foods.

Naxi roasted bait blocks, Lijiang people's love for bait blocks is unprincipled. Roasted bait blocks are definitely worth tasting, but whether the taste tasted is authentic depends on the personality.

Of course, basically many food shops have these specialty snacks. Which one is better? You can go to the comment website to see the comments of users, or you can ask Xiao Cai, the snack front desk of Fanerba Inn.

Seven Lijiang Tourism Accommodation Articles

There are thousands of hotels, inns and homestays in Lijiang, ranging from modern decoration to courtyard inn for you to choose from. There are five-star hotels and small houses, which can be arranged according to your own itinerary. If you want to experience the life of the ancient city and want to be quiet, you can choose an inn close to the edge of the ancient city, such as the Fanerba Art Inn, close to the main road, and there is a taxi within a few steps. If you want to go to famous scenic spots such as Lashihai and Lugu Lake, you can also choose a local inn with a good reputation. In any case, Xiao Bian strongly recommends making a reservation in advance, and it is generally hard to find a room in Lijiang's tourist season.
