Recently, many people have consulted about relevant travel strategies, so I hereby summarize some guide information, including transportation, tickets, accommodation, etc.

Subsequent travel articles will be updated with relevant strategies in the future.

Some places have been visited for a long time, or some specific details are not remembered and are not useful for reference, so information about Yunnan is temporarily updated.

Attractions in Lijiang:

1. Lijiang ancient city

No tickets. Some people say they will charge some ancient city maintenance fees, but we have been there several times but have never seen one. There are many accommodation, ranging from farmhouse inns costing tens of yuan to high-end inns costing thousands of yuan.

If you like to have few people and can't walk on ordinary roads, you can also climb the Elephant Mountain next to the Ancient City of Lijiang. Climb up and you can overlook the entire Ancient City of Lijiang.

2. Shuhe ancient town

Lijiang Railway Station has direct buses to Shuhe Ancient Town, which is very close.

Compared with Lijiang Ancient City, individuals prefer to live here. Accommodation is cheap and quiet. You can go for a walk in nearby villages or climb mountains when you get up in the morning.

3. Yulong Snow Mountain

There are no scenic spots that collect tickets, but on the way to Baisha and Yuhu Village in Shuhe, you can see Yulong Snow Mountain everywhere. In fact, I personally prefer to walk around these empty villages and see the beautiful scenery.

4. wenhai

It is a beautiful plateau meadow. No tickets are charged. Beautiful flowers bloom in July and August, and the scenery is excellent.

Transportation:You can take the No. 6 bus to Baisha at the north gate of Shuhe Ancient Town, get off at an intersection, and then walk over to Wenhai from the three-pronged intersection. Or take a taxi to Wenhai, which takes about an hour.

5. Fuguo Temple

No tickets. On the way from Shuhe to Wenhai, there is a beautiful and peaceful temple. You can eat vegetarian food for free in the temple. At that time, I took the No. 6 bus and then walked there.

6. Baisha ancient town

Similar to Shuhe, but with fewer people. Some people say that white sand is more fun, so everyone has different preferences. It is not far from Shuhe and can be directly reached by bus No. 6.

7. Yuhu village

The source of the Naxi people is the village at the foot of the Yulong Snow Mountain. Visit Locke's former residence. There is an artificial lake about 500 to 600 meters northeast next to the village, surrounded by plateau meadows. Around the dam are endless but open mountains.

There are no tickets to the village itself. In addition to Locke's former residence, there are also jade pillars and towering sky.

traffic: Take Bus No. 6 in Shuhe Ancient Town to Yushuizhai, and then walk for more than half an hour to Yuhu Village. Or take a taxi directly to Yuhu Village.

On the way to Yuhu Village, you can also visit Yushui Village, Dongba Pantheon Garden, etc., which require tickets.

Accommodation: Personally, I feel that you can stay in Shuhe or Lijiang Ancient City to visit these scenic spots, but Shuhe is relatively convenient, and you can go back and forth to several places on the same day.

There are thousands of inns in the ancient city of Lijiang. As long as it is not holidays, you can stay in super cheap and good inns.

In addition, Lijiang also has many small and beautiful attractions, such as Mauringping, Qingxi Reservoir, Geladan Grassland, and Anaguo, a hiking paradise.


Dali attractions:

1. Dali ancient city

There are many accommodation, ranging from tens of yuan to thousands of yuan. As long as it is not a holiday, the B & B for around 100 yuan is also very clean.

Transportation:There is a train from Lijiang to Dali. It takes about 2 hours to arrive and there are many trains. Generally, after the train arrives in Dali, you have to take the No. 8 bus (2 yuan) from the railway station or take the through bus (faster than the bus, 10 yuan or 15 yuan) to the ancient city.

2. Cangshan

Cangshan is very beautiful. There are Jizhao Nunnery, which is full of flowers and meat, and Gantong Temple. The flowers and plants in Jizhao Nunnery cannot be touched. In addition, Cangshan can overlook the entire Dali.

If you don't use cableway to go up the mountain, Cangshan doesn't seem to need tickets. Some people said that they would charge tickets, but we went in directly through the gate of Gantong Temple, and no management person asked us for tickets.

Transportation:You can walk from the ancient city to the south gate of the ancient city or Cangshan Gate, take bus No. 4 to Dali Town No. 2 Middle School, and then walk 3 kilometers to Gantong Temple Gate. Or take a taxi directly to the gate of Cangshan Mountain, which is not expensive.

3. Erhai Lake

No tickets. If you live in the ancient city, you can rent a bicycle or a small battery bike and start cycling around the sea from Caicun Wharf. If you live in Shuanglang, you will be closer to Erhai Lake.

However, the current double corridor is no longer the same as the one I went to. At present, many inns near the sea have been demolished.

4. Dali Chaimiduo Farm Market

Every weekend, there is a grand party on the farm lawn near Xiajiyi Village in Dali. On this day, many craftsmen, musicians, gourmets, sportsmen, farmers and other people gathered in Dali will reveal their true identities. Whether they are characteristic owners of the ancient city of Dali or new residents who have moved to Dali, they all set up stalls here with their proud achievements and works.

5. Xizhou Ancient Town

There is no charge in the ancient town itself, but if you want to go to several ancient houses such as the Yan Family Courtyard, you will have to charge. In order to generate income, some three-wheeled masters will also drag you to a place where you want to collect tickets and tell you that this is Xizhou Ancient Town.

If you prefer the down-to-earth life of locals, you can go around Xizhou Ancient Town without buying tickets. You may have many unexpected gains.

There are many batiks in Xizhou Ancient Town, and the things they sell are actually similar to those in the ancient city. However, if you can pick and bargain, you will find better and cheaper things. At the beginning, I bought a lot of goods and tea leaves here and sold them while playing with them.

Transportation:There are buses that go directly to Xizhou Ancient Town in the ancient city of Dali. Just ask the locals.

In fact, many places in Dali can be reached by bus from the ancient city by asking the locals.Including Dali University, Butterfly Spring and so on.

6. Nuodenggu Village

An ancient Bai village, undeveloped and primitive. In ancient times, it was a very important trading route. The famous one is Nuodeng ham, which is very delicious. There is an inn in the village, which is also cheap. Seventy or eighty yuan a night.

Transportation:Take a minibus from Dali's Xingsheng Passenger Station to Yunlong County, which runs every hour and takes three hours to reach the Yunlong County Passenger Station. Then take a small tricycle or van outside the Yunlong County Passenger Station to Nuodeng. It is about 20 yuan. It takes about 20 minutes to Nuodeng Village.

In fact, during my trip, in addition to the regular tourist attractions that collect tickets, I prefer those small and beautiful places that are wandering around or recommended by local people, as well as the experiences and experiences on the road.

These scenery are few and beautiful, and there is no charge. So,As long as you have the eyes to discover, everything is scenery.



There are also some little knowledge to share with you, which are must-have items for our trip to Yunnan

1. Yunnan has a large temperature difference between morning and evening every day (12-15 degrees Celsius). Please pay attention to dress to prevent colds.
2. Yunnan is located on the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, with strong outdoor ultraviolet exposure. Pay attention to sun protection and bring sunscreen products.
3. Lijiang and Zhongdian have higher altitudes, so pay attention to rest to prevent mountain reactions
4. Next to the cable car station at the foot of the Yulong Snow Mountain in Lijiang, there are cold-proof clothes and oxygen bags for rent. Guests can rent them according to their own needs; when queuing at the cable car station, please pay attention to following the people in front of you to prevent being cut in by other tour groups or tourists, causing yourself and the whole group to wait for a long time and delay your journey
5. When riding horses or riding yaks at your own expense in Lijiang and Zhongdian areas to take photos, please also pay attention to safety, follow the owner's instructions, and do not do anything that scares the animals to avoid causing harm to yourself
6. When taking tourist photography, please pay attention to safety and do not shoot or climb in dangerous areas;(Water's edge, bridge edge or cliff edge of Tiger Leaping Gorge in the ancient city of Lijiang.)
7. When purchasing tourist commemorative products and local specialties, please pay attention to shop around; at the same time, be careful not to touch the samples of the decoration at will to prevent accidental damage.
8. Kunming, Dali and Lijiang have plateau-type southwest monsoon climates, with low temperatures and large temperature differences between day and night. The best seasons for traveling in Yunnan are spring and summer. Carry on: short-sleeved T-shirt, coat, sunscreen, rain gear.
9. It is best to bring some medicines to prevent gastrointestinal problems, in case you don't adapt to where you go and cause acclimatization! The second is medicine to prevent colds, because it was mentioned before that the temperature difference there is relatively large!

Having said so much, I hope I can help everyone!
