Tips:

1. The ultraviolet rays are strong. The rainy season is from July to August. Especially in Lijiang, it rains almost every day. There is a temperature difference between morning and evening. You need to bring a thin coat or sunscreen clothing. A raincoat is a must. You can also buy it locally. If you are interested, you can watch the sunrise and sunset, and you can protect yourself from sun;

2. Dali is about 1900 meters above sea level, Lijiang Ancient Town and Lugu Lake are about 2600 meters above sea level, and Lanyue Valley is 3100 meters above sea level. Normal people rarely experience altitude reaction. If there is altitude reaction, exercise less + increase sugar intake. Yunnan Baiyao's Plateau Weneng Oral Liquid is recommended to take effect quickly, and the platform can deliver medicine to your door if you are hungry. It is a 4+ hour drive from Lijiang to Lugu Lake, the entire mountain road, and the highest altitude is 3500 meters. It is easy to get motion sickness, so you need to prepare a motion sickness sticker.

3. The trip was mainly for casual parent-child tours, with the wind blowing and watching the sea. Except for the short round-trip journey, Kunming gave up. The Yulong Snow Mountain considered that there was no snow in summer + high altitude for children might not be able to endure it, so it also gave up and only went to the foot of the mountain. Blue Moon Valley;


Air ticket arrangements:

Principle: Try to save as much as possible without connecting flights, taking red-eye flights, and not taking Spring Airlines!! Choose Shanghai to fly directly to Lijiang, visit Dali and return from Dali.


Departure: Junxiang Airlines: 7:30 Pudong International Airport-11:30 Lijiang Sanyi Airport

Return: China Eastern Airlines: 17:25 Dali Airport-21:05 Hongqiao T2


Specific itinerary:


Day 1:

5:30 I took a taxi to Pudong Airport. I encountered some problems during check-in, and Ctrip also solved them in time to start a pleasant day;


Arriving at Lijiang Airport at 11:30, the innkeeper arranged to pick up the airport, which took about 40 minutes;


Arrive at Yishe Inn in the Ancient City of Lijiang at 13:00 and check in. This inn must be introduced. The location is very good. There are hundreds of inns in the ancient city of Lijiang. This one is located at the north gate of the ancient city. It is very convenient to travel or go to the ancient city. Because it is not in the ancient city, it is very quiet and it is not tiring to carry luggage (The ancient city is all stone roads, and the dense inns inside cannot tell which one). The rooms are all designed with great care. We booked a garden terrace room and a luxurious view suite this time. It is absolutely great value for money. The inn is antique, with two peacocks + a dog. Small snacks + mineral water are available in unlimited quantities. Whenever you are free, my little brother will warmly invite you to the lobby to make tea for you to drink. If you have any needs, I will try my best to satisfy them as soon as possible. After my husband arrived in Lijiang Ancient Town, there was a high revolt, and my little brother ran around enthusiastically to soak in brown sugar water. I was very touched;

Lunch: There are several chain stores in the ancient city of Apo Lafu. The inn is within 1 minute of leaving the house. The preserved ribs are unique and you can try them. Personally, except for the preserved ribs, they are similar to other hot pots (slightly high, not photographed);


19:00 Take a nap and wake up in Doudou Ancient Town + Return to the inn until 10:00 for dinner; the sun sets from 8 to 9:00 in Yunnan, so it often reaches 7:00 pm unknowingly; the picture below shows the ancient town at 20:00

Dinner: The Prince of Western Yunnan ordered according to the recommendations of netizens. Every dish was quite delicious, and the little brother was also very enthusiastic;


The next day:


Get up at 8:30 and have dinner at B & B;


At 10:30, we chartered a car to Lanyue Valley, and chartered a car to help book a car for the owner of Yishe Inn. The journey is 40 minutes; Lanyue Valley is located in the Yulong Snow Mountain Scenic Area. Considering the actual situation of the two families, we abandoned the Yulong Snow Mountain. Anyone entering any scenic spot in the Yulong Snow Mountain Scenic Area, regardless of whether they go to the Yulong Snow Mountain or not, you need to pay a entrance ticket of 100 yuan for adults, half price for children over 8 years old, and free for those under 8 years old. If you follow the group, in addition to the entrance ticket, each person will have to pay an additional 50 yuan for the ancient city maintenance fee. Blue Moon Valley is a free attraction. If you go to Yulong Snow Mountain, you need to buy an additional cableway climbing ticket. Chartered cars can only go to the parking lot of Yulong Snow Mountain Scenic Area. Transportation in the scenic area includes buses and battery cars. The bus runs from the parking lot to the scenic spots. It doesn't matter whether adults and children are 20 yuan per person. The battery car can go around the Blue Moon Valley, and the average person is 50 yuan. Because walking around the Blue Moon Valley takes a maximum of 2 hours. We felt that the battery car was unnecessary, so we chose the bus from the parking lot of the scenic area to the Blue Moon Valley. When I arrived at the back mountain of the scenic spot parking lot that day, it was windy and rainy, and I still felt chilly with long-sleeved T-shirts + trousers + sunscreen clothes. So everyone in the supermarket next to the parking lot bought a long raincoat to protect against rain and cold. Each piece was 20 yuan. It's really much warmer. The second stop on the bus is Shuiyue, and the bus is Blue Moon Valley. It is beautiful and there are large areas everywhere. I was having a little high time. It was already past 3 o'clock in the afternoon on my return journey. It was too late to watch the "Impression Lijiang" performance. I only heard the shocking drum sounds of the performance in the parking lot of the scenic area on my return journey (this performance is located near the parking lot of the Yulong Snow Mountain Scenic Area).



16:30 Return to the B & B to rest;


At 18:30 in Dougucheng, we chose Yunxueli Restaurant for dinner and lined up for half an hour to eat. The taste was good and the value was very high.


Tips: My husband's high altitude reaction is obvious. The driver recommended Yunnan Baiyao's plateau moisturizing energy. It takes effect quickly. Sure enough, after drinking it, my face will turn red.


the third day


Get up at 8:00, eat at B & B, and keep your luggage at Yishe Inn.


9:30 Ctrip chartered a car for a total of 1400 yuan on the second day. It takes a 4.5-hour drive to Lugu Lake (you can also book a round-trip ticket for Lijiang Ancient City, 80-100 yuan per person one way). On the road, drivers and guides stop at major attractions along the way such as the Eighteen Bend Jinsha River, observation platforms, etc. for taking photos. All winding roads are prone to eardrum pain + motion sickness, so pay attention to preparing motion sickness medicine;


Tickets for Lugu Lake are 100 yuan per person.

Arrived at Daluoshui Village at 13:30. Because a friend's suggestion + reading the guide before, I planned to have bread in Lugu Lake for two days. I still couldn't resist the temptation. Under the guidance of the driver, I went to eat the local specialty firewood pot chicken. It was very delicious and it turned out that I didn't have diarrhea.


At 15:00, we checked into Yuelanzhuang Dabu Shuyuan Inn in Daluoshui Village, Lugu Lake. We booked a lake-view terrace room + lake-view terrace suite, both of which were more than 50 square meters (most inns near the lake in Lugu Lake have a small accommodation area, about 30 square meters), and the location is excellent. The lake is separated by a pedestrian path at the entrance. Sitting on the terrace is very good for blowing hair, and the curtains in the room are electric. We can get up early and open the electric curtains to lazily watch the lake view. It's amazing.


At 16:00, I went out and took a pig trough boat. The average person was 50 and the charter boat was 500-600. It was just in time for the peak season when aquatic poplar flowers were floating on the lake. The lake water was clear and the stalks under the water were clearly visible.


Return to the inn at 18:00, the balcony will be blown out, and for dinner, we will eat the self-hi pot + instant noodles + yogurt bought in the supermarket next door.


Day 4:


Get up at 8:30, stroll along the lakeside path in front of the inn + eat at B & B;

At 10:00, a tour around Lugu Lake. The chartered driver took us around the lake. Every Internet celebrity attraction would stop for photos, but both families were relatively casual and could enjoy the process, so the tour around the lake was quickly over. There is a primitive village of the Mosuo people in Lugu Lake. Because he brought two children around the age of 8, he asked the chartered car driver to visit Mosuo culture. The driver arranged to visit the Mosuo family and sat in the Mosuo family's grandmother's room to learn about the Mosuo customs for 40 minutes. It is still quite fruitful. After the reception, silver ornaments were displayed and sold. Although the purchase was casual and was not forced, we still bought two items because of thin-skinned skin... This item without children can be automatically ignored.


Return at 14:00 and settle on the lunch bus;

At 18:30, I returned to Yishe Inn in Ancient Town of Lijiang to rest for a while;

Dinner + bar soak: Second Brother's rice noodles in the ancient city are delicious. I found a bar close to the inn and tasted it;


Day 5:


Get up at 8:30, eat at B & B,


I left Lijiang Ancient Town at 10:00 and chartered a car to Erhai Lake in Dali. The chartered car was introduced by the owner of Seminyak. In comparison, the chartered car fee was indeed very cheap.


Arrived at Shuimingyang Inn (located in Erdong) at 12:30. I planned to stay for two days, but due to sloppy booking, I made the wrong day, and the boss also readily refunded the full payment. I booked his family's invincible sea view suite. I opened the door and saw the sunroom and terrace on a line connected by the gravel path and facing the lake. I couldn't help but feel surprised. The two families immediately decided to have such a wonderful scenery, not to bother with the attractions, and to read and chat until noon the next day. Afternoon tea at 16 o'clock was also very generous.


At 13:30 for lunch, the barbecue from Lao Wang's house next door is inexpensive and inexpensive, and the stone barbecue from Yunnan has a unique flavor;


19:00 Dinner: The graphite restaurant is also opened by the owner of Seminyak Inn. You can send the plates directly to the inn lobby. I wanted to try it out with a convenient attitude, but I didn't expect the Dai food to be authentic and taste very good. Because it's a 10% discount when staying at the inn, it's very cheap. After a few days, I had a very good impression of Yunnan. The business is mature, but the folk customs are still simple. Even shopping and catering in the scenic area are not at all high prices or arbitrary charges. You can buy and enjoy delicious food with confidence.

Day 6:


Get up at 9:00 and lie down in the wind. The fathers take the children to the small wetland next to the lake to catch small fish;


Check-out at 12:00 and went to Erxi. Because I felt that the chartered master the day before was good, I contacted again and ordered a chartered car to the last inn. The master also chatted and took us around half of the Erhai Lake while walking.


Stayed at Dali Xingshan Inn at 14:00. The style of Erxi and Erdong is completely different. The inn in Shuanglang Ancient Town in Erdong is close to the lake and has excellent sunset viewing and intensive commerce. The entrance of the inn in Erxi is separated from the Erhai Lake. There is a newly developed ecological cycling road. Cars cannot enter it and it is very quiet. It is very convenient to rent a bicycle. The curtains are opened in the morning and you can directly watch the sunrise while lying in bed. There are many couples taking wedding photos.


14:30 Lunch: Eat nearby Haiyue Restaurant. The inn is only 1 minute away. It is also for convenience. The result is a very pleasant surprise. The price is fair and the boss is honest. It is not possible to extravagant and waste more orders. If you want to eat halfway through the meal, you want to add food. The boss said that the chef is very hard and let them rest from 15 to 17 o'clock. Don't take orders. Money will never be earned. Everyone's health is also very important. This concept must be praised.


Renting bicycles at 19:00, available in various size and even baby seats, can fully meet everyone's needs. On the road, we pass through lawns and small sandy beaches, accompanied by the sunset, and there are also more than three to five local residents leisurely dancing square dancing and singing karaoke. It's very comfortable.


At 21:00, Haiyue Restaurant was still (eating too fast and didn't take photos);


Day 7:


At 6:00, I set the alarm clock, opened the curtains and lay on the bed, facing the French windows, waiting for the sunrise; at 6:50, I continued to sleep with satisfaction, and the pace of life in Erhai Lake slowed down unknowingly;



Check-out at 12:00 and go to the ancient city of Dali for food;

Lunch: Dali Gongzi Duan: The taste is good, and the dishes are also diverse and novel. It is the most expensive meal in a few days, only 500+ yuan.

15:30 Take a taxi to the airport;

The flight is from 17:35 to 21:00, book a good car before boarding the plane, and return to my warm home at 22 o'clock.


Total cost: about 20000 yuan (a total of 7 people from two families travel, the cost is two adults and one child 8 years old)

Round-trip air ticket: 10000 yuan

Hotel: 5000 yuan

Chartered car: 1600 yuan

Catering: 3000 yuan
