Some people say that Lijiang is an open mental hospital, Dayan Ancient City is the general hospital, Shuhe Ancient Town is the branch hospital, and Baisha Ancient Town is the critical area; some people say that Lijiang is a poison, and even if you just look at it from a distance and hear it vaguely, it will be poisoned; some people say that Lijiang is a disease that can be infected with a slight touch; some people say that Lijiang is a medicine that treats urban mania and has unique effects on depression, insomnia, frustration, lovelorn love, etc.

Ten thousand people create ten thousand Lijiang in their hearts. Lijiang is a slow city, Lijiang is a way of life, Lijiang is the back garden of the soul, Lijiang is the healthiest art ecosystem, Lijiang is a life...

Lijiang has a special magic power. It is simple and innovative, and it is lively in its tranquility. Enjoy the laidness with laziness. Whether you're in a daze, healing, or looking forward to an affair, this is a really good choice. When one comes here, you can cultivate your own cultivation; when two people come here, you will gain a sense of romance; and with friends, you will leave behind a beautiful memory worth cherishing.

In order to reduce the blind spots and misunderstandings of travelers visiting Lijiang, and to make tourists 'itineraries more reasonable and economical, the following summarizes some strategies for tourism in Lijiang for reference.

Xiong Xiaowei is a local who has lived in Lijiang for more than 20 years

I am Xiong Xiaowei from Lijiang and have lived in Lijiang for a long time. Now I am engaged in a high-quality pure tour group. At Lijiang Dianhang Tourism Company, if you come to Lijiang to travel, you want to have a happy time without shopping and worrying less. You can ask me for detailed itineraries of Lijiang, Yulong Snow Mountain, Lugu Lake, Shangri-La, Dali and other scenic spots. I have various strategies for playing, including food, clothing, accommodation and transportation, group anti-fraud and potholes, etc., for your reference. I have my own opinion on Lijiang's tourism market. Serena's tours are all led by commercial vehicles and accompanying drivers to maximize high-quality services. Therefore, Serena suggests that everyone can choose semi-free travel. First, it is cheap, and secondly, it is zero shopping., parking on call by drivers and masters, and not missing any scenery. It is very free? Need to consult questions, please add my prestige xiaoyu23489?

There are many places to visit in Lijiang. Xiong Xiaowei suggested that when you come to Lijiang, you must visit Lugu Lake, Yulong Snow Mountain, and Shangri-La, because the scenery of these three places is unique.

The ancient city of Lijiang is divided into Shuhe Ancient Town, Dayan Ancient Town, and Baisha Ancient Town. The well-known Sifang City belongs to Dayan Ancient Town. But in comparison, Dayan Ancient Town has been commercialized, and I prefer the simple folk customs preserved in Shuhe Ancient Town. However, at present, more people go to Dayan Ancient Town.

Dayan Ancient Town was previously ruled by the surname Mu. Because it was worried that the ancient city would add a city wall, the word Mu would become sleepy. Therefore, Dayan Ancient City had no city walls and no tickets were needed to get there. The roads in the ancient city are complex and have been the only road on the ancient tea-horse road since ancient times. Therefore, commerce has been very developed since ancient times and has also become an important town in northwest Yunnan.

Mufu is the former site of Lijiang's ruler surnamed Mu. In fact, it was newly built later. During the 1996 Lijiang earthquake, many things were destroyed. It is said that the Tusi surnamed Mu originally had no surname. Their names were the last word of their father and the first word of their son. In Lijiang, the Mu surname is the big surname and the surname of aristocrats. The poor people put a straw hat on the wooden word and carried a bamboo basket on their backs, which became the word harmony. To this day, Mu and He are still the two major surnames in Lijiang.

The water in Lijiang is spiritual, like a jade in a small family, clear and gentle. Moreover, this water also serves as a guide road. It flows into the city by the water. If you get lost in the ancient city, it doesn't matter. If you go upstream, you will definitely find the exit and return to the big waterwheel in the ancient city.

The water in Lijiang is formed by the snow water from the Yulong Snow Mountain merged into a clear stream. The water is clear and cold, so many iced drinks in bars only need to be placed in the water, and the stream is a natural refrigerator. Lijiang people have long paid attention to the harmony between man and nature. This is Lijiang's Three Eyes Well. The first is for drinking water, the second is for washing vegetables, and the third is for clothes, each performing its duties. The holy water in Shuhe Ancient Town-Jiuding Longtan. The water in the pool is crystal clear. The fish in the pool are regarded as sacred objects and the locals never eat it.

Naxi people call beautiful women Fat Jinmei, and handsome men call Fat Jinmei Brother. Although Fat Jinmei is really fat, she is very popular in Lijiang and is a beautiful woman in the eyes of Naxi people. Naxi people in Lijiang regard fat and black as their beauty. The darker and fatter, the more popular they are. This is because, in ancient times, in Lijiang, men did not have to work. All they did was play chess, calligraphy and painting, drink tea, and read. However, women usually did work in the fields, and it was women who killed pigs and sheep during the New Year. But although men do not work, they have no say. In the family, women have the final say, so it is also called a woman's world and a man's paradise. Women also hope that they will gain weight and have the strength to work. However, the water in Lijiang is very alkaline and is relatively oily, so there are not many fat people. Rare things are expensive, and fat girls are definitely popular here.

Naxi women wearing national costumes and many fat gold girls wear emerald green bracelets on their hands. In the Lijiang area of Dali, because it is close to Myanmar, people love jade more than gold and diamonds. Many people have a daughter when they are very young. When they are young, their parents will give her a bracelet and will keep her alive until she grows up. The bracelet will never be taken off and will follow her for the rest of her life.

If you haven't made a reservation yet, you need to pay special attention. Many drivers will deceive you to stay, so you must be cautious.

motor train

The bullet train from Kunming to Lijiang in Yunnan will be put into operation on January 5, 2019. According to China Railway Kunming Bureau Group, in the early stages of operation, 3 pairs of Kunming-Lijiang bullet trains operated every day. The bullet trains enter Lijiang, providing passengers with more convenient choices for travel.

The Kunming-Lijiang bullet train starts from Kunming, passes through Chuxiong Yi Autonomous Prefecture and Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture, and ends at Lijiang. It connects Chuxiong, which has strong Yi customs, Dali, which is famous for its ancient city. Along the way, there are beautiful natural scenery and diverse ethnic customs.

At the beginning of the operation, 3 pairs of Kunming-Lijiang bullet trains operated every day, with the shortest running time of 2 hours and 58 minutes and the longest running time of 3 hours and 36 minutes. The journey time was about 6.5 hours shorter than that of general-speed trains. Train fares from Kunming to Lijiang implement a floating mechanism, and different fares are implemented according to market factors such as different seasons and different time periods. The minimum fare for second-class seats from Kunming to Lijiang is 197 yuan and the maximum is 220 yuan.

Accommodation in Lijiang! How to choose Lijiang Inn?

Of course, when you go to Lijiang for tourism and accommodation, you are staying at Lijiang Inn, for nothing else but to experience the pure Naxi folk houses and the simple, peaceful and sunny Naxi courtyard. At Lijiang Inn, you have the opportunity to meet friends from all over the world, go out together, cook together, or drink with friends. Star-rated hotels are generally located in the new city of Lijiang, and most of them are designated cooperation by tour groups, so it is difficult for you to experience the joy of staying in a Lijiang inn when staying in a hotel.

1. Do I need to book Lijiang Inn in advance?

Whether it is the off-season or peak season, it is necessary to make a reservation in advance. The ancient city of Lijiang has a large area. All streets are paved with five-flower stones and are not open to traffic. If you don't book a Lijiang Inn, you may drag heavy luggage and blindly search the bumpy streets of the ancient city. Maybe you haven't found an inn you like until you collapse, but after you rush to stay in it in a tiredness, you will often find that there are many unsatisfactory things that will destroy your mood for traveling.

Most of Lijiang inns are renovated in the courtyards of original residents. The number of rooms is generally about 10. Even in the off-season, some inns with good reputation may be full. If you encounter the Golden Week and summer vacation tourist season and do not book in advance, you may not be able to find accommodation.

2. What location is the best hotel to choose

When choosing an inn, you should first look at its location. Try to stay away from Sifang Street (Dayan Ancient Town and Shuhe Ancient Town in the Ancient City of Lijiang, and Baisha Ancient Town both have Sifang Street), Bar Street and other people can ensure a quiet and comfortable accommodation environment. At the same time, the distance cannot be too far, unless your boxes are of very good quality.

In addition, the ancient city is made of stone roads paved with five-flower stones. It is very difficult to drag trolley boxes, and traffic is not allowed in the ancient city. If you choose to live far away from the entrance of the ancient city, carrying luggage will be your first priority problem when you come to Lijiang. Xiaobian recommends the inn near the south gate, which is convenient for transportation and only ten minutes away from Sifang Street.

3. Are the online reviews of Lijiang Inn true?

The so-called rankings and evaluation of the inn on the Internet must be believed, and not all of them must be believed. Especially if all the good reviews are good words, it is even more questionable. It is impossible for everyone to have the same preferences. Those who are famous on the Internet may not necessarily be the best. It often happens that people are deceived because they blindly believe in online rankings and comments.

4. Other tips

A. Try not to choose an inn with a bar. The inn is mainly a place to rest, especially at night, when a quiet environment is very important.

B. Choose an inn with a courtyard and public activity space. In this way, during the day, you can bask in the sun in the courtyard, sip tea and chat, and at night, three or five friends can also play cards and have fun.

C. The streets and alleys of large and small in the ancient city are like a maze for first-time guests. Especially at night, guests who don't remember the way may get lost. It is best to buy a map as soon as you arrive at the inn, or invite the inn owner to explain how to get there.

Introduction to Lijiang Cuisine

When you come to Lijiang, you can't miss a wide variety of delicacies. I have seen many delicacies recommended by the guide and places to eat. It's just nonsense. They're advertising their own shops. Many tourists who have never been to Lijiang will listen to what others say. They will only know when they really eat in the shops. They will be cheated again. Let me tell you what the delicacies in Lijiang are like? It can make you drool,

I would like to introduce 6 delicious foods to you:

[Place to drink sour plum soup]: It is also everywhere in the ancient city. It was brought by the main store in Baisha Ancient Town. If you want to find your ancestors, go to Baisha and drink it. That store is easy to find. In the ancient city of Lijiang, shops selling October sour plum soup are generally more authentic.

[The place to eat black goats]: Black goat hot pot is a unique place in Lijiang. It forms a spectacular long view of "Black Goat Street" in Jinkai Square in the new city. In order to highlight the blackness of black goats, the signboards are all black characters, which is spectacular. It is comparable to the red lanterns on the ancient city bar street. The black mass of mutton was poured into the black boiling soup that was rolling over the river. If it weren't for the tempting aroma, many people would probably turn around and leave at a glance. Black goat meat with skin has been specially processed and is already ninety ripe before serving, and it does not taste like mutton at all. Black goat hot pot is suitable for tasting in all seasons, especially in autumn and winter. It can bring heat to the body. Don't miss it when you come to Lijiang! Per capita consumption is about 80 yuan. The one local people like to go to is Ayidan, and other homes can sometimes be easily cheated. haha. AYidan has many branches, so it's best to go to the flagship store in Jinkai Plaza. The environment is good, and the price of black goats is not cheap, but fortunately the flagship store is sufficient. The soup smells delicious and fresh meat. The more times I go, you become a member.

[Place to eat preserved pork ribs]: There are preserved pork ribs everywhere, but it is recognized that the ones that are more authentic and affordable are Xincheng Xiangshan Market, and Xiangshan Market is more famous for its Yujie preserved pork ribs at the entrance. The pork ribs in Xiangshan Market cost 60 yuan a pot, and you can order any small dishes. It is almost 80 yuan for two people and almost 100 yuan for four people. Just take a taxi out of Guchengkou for 7 yuan and you will reach Xiangshan Market. There is also a good store. Walking into the alley next to the Bank of China opposite Bailong Square. It is called Farmhouse Impression Luna Ribs. The owner is very enthusiastic and will even deliver small dishes to people you can talk to. I have already told you where the watermelons are. As for whether you can find them or not, it's up to you. Wow, the tomatoes and leek roots in the soup are very delicious. Then there are several particularly delicious ones near the new passenger terminal. I can't tell where they are. If you can't find them, you can ask me.

[The place to eat Lijiang Baba]: One of the characteristics of the Naxi people is that there are two flavors: sweet and salty. The sweet Baba is loved by many young friends, while the salty ones are loved by adults. When you go to a restaurant to eat, ask for a plate of cakes. Don't think that this is made by the restaurant itself, because there are not many people in Lijiang City who can make cakes, and those bought cakes are sold wholesale after a few people make them. Before the Sifang Temple Fair, there was a one called "Seven Star Baba", which tasted very good.

[The place to eat potato chicken]: This is the most famous one in Xincheng's "Tai 'an Potato Chicken". It takes a taxi out of Gucheng Gate for 10 yuan. The eastern Yunnan Plateau is rich in potatoes, which are commonly called "potatoes". There is not much emphasis on the main ingredients for making potato chicken, but the chicken should be tender, and it is best to have baby chicken. Try to choose the kind with less moisture in the sesame skin. The ratio of the two is generally slightly more potatoes than chickens. First stir-fry dried peppers, aniseed, ginger, garlic, sauce and other seasonings with oil to create the fragrance, add the chopped chicken pieces and stir-fry until the oil comes out, and then pour in the chopped potatoes. Cut the potatoes to a little larger., stir fry for a few minutes, add appropriate amount of hot water and change into the pressure cooker and pressure for a few minutes. At this time, the key is the heat. If the heat is controlled well, the potato chicken will not only be red and bright, but also tender and tender. Due to the moderate pressure of the pressure cooker, depending on each person's taste, the potatoes are either flour but not rotten, or cooked but still crispy, and are evenly distributed inside and outside, so that the outer layer will not be rotten while the inner side will still be raw. At this time, the aroma of the chicken, the taste of many seasonings and the fresh delicacy of the chicken are all integrated into the potatoes. When bitten in one bite, not only will the taste be comfortable, but it will steal the beauty of the chicken and become the protagonist of this dish. There is also a potato dumpling that I would especially recommend. It is very delicious. At the Alili Snack Shop near Mufu, their mixed fruit dishes are also good.

Lijiang Shopping Taobao Tips

Lijiang is not only a visual feast, but also a venue for collecting folk characteristics. Some small objects may be the best carrier for you to collect Lijiang memories.

Lijiang is known as three more: more "silver sellers", more "gourd customers", and more "carving people". This is no joke. The streets and alleys are full of silverware shops, wood carving houses, and ladle art workshops. Silverware, wooden ladles, and wood carvings are traditional folk handicrafts of the Naxi people. You should also slow down when shopping. Let's talk about Xiaobian's experience on Lijiang Taobao.

Jade:

Lijiang has been an important jade distribution center on the Ancient Tea Horse Road and the Southern Silk Road since ancient times. The Naxi people in Lijiang love jade as much as their lives, and jade culture can be said to have penetrated into the spinal cord of Lijiang culture. Wearing jade jewelry is very popular in Lijiang. It is not difficult to find Lijiang people's love for jade and jade from Lijiang's place names. Place names related to the word jade abound on Yulong Snow Mountain, Yushui Village, Yulong County, Yuhu, Yuhe, and Yuhe Square. In Lijiang, the jade absorbs the aura of the snowy mountains and the bright sunshine, and naturally becomes warmer and warmer.

Choosing jade is like looking for a wife. Don't go to a small shop in a corner. A lady from a big family must be more reliable. Locals in Lijiang go to large-scale jade shops to buy jade. It's really difficult to identify without inside information in tourist areas. Buy jade as a luxury, if you are not good at it. So it's better to go to a relatively large-scale regular shopping mall.

How did Yu and Lijiang people get involved? Jade was first discovered by the horse gangs in Lijiang. In the early 13th century, a Yunnan horse gang on its way back from Myanmar casually carried a stone from the roadside and balanced its cargo on horseback. After a hard journey to Lijiang, someone accidentally discovered that the stone he had accidentally carried back on the horse turned out to be crystal clear green jade after being worn off. It was not until the 18th century that jade really flowed into Yunnan in large quantities. Yunnan's horse gangs went south to bring jade back to Yunnan along the Ancient Tea Horse Road and the Southern Silk Road.

Spirulina:

Spirulina has the comprehensive health care effects of enhancing immunity, resisting fatigue, resisting radiation, lowering blood sugar and lowering blood lipids, nourishing the liver, protecting the gastrointestinal tract, slimming and beautifying, preventing cardiovascular diseases, preventing diabetes, preventing cancer and cancer, antibacterial and anti-aging. It is easier to absorb, significantly improves human immunity, has a significant tonic effect on chronic diseases, improves frail and sickly physique, and is widely suitable for consumption by teenagers, children and middle-aged and elderly people. It is recommended to buy it from a regular large-scale medicinal store.

Silver:

Silverware has always been full of traditional beauty. Lijiang's specialty is 99 snowflake silver. For a silver bracelet for 20 yuan, you shouldn't ask if it is pure silver, lest the seller answer awkwardly. Walking in the ancient city, guests in Lijiang who can reach WeChat five times in 3 minutes may take you to buy it, but please check out others 'enthusiasm. 99 sterling silver, well-made silverware, most of which will not be too cheap. Big shops buy purity, small shops buy handicrafts. If you are lucky enough to find snowflake sterling silver, traditional craftsmanship, then it will be a worthwhile trip. It will be enough to carry your Lijiang past.

Shawl, skirt:

Many friends want to buy hand-knitted ones, and there are also many shawl shops with a shawl weaving machine placed in front of them! To be honest, I can only weave one strand a day at most. I wonder how many strands they sell a day? Many of them should be wholesale from Yiwu. The reason why shawls are easier to sell in Lijiang is because of the large temperature difference between morning and evening here, coupled with the antique atmosphere of the ancient city.

Suggestion: When you buy shawls in Lijiang, you can buy them according to the size of a table or sofa at home. Even if you don't use them when you go back, you can come in handy. If you buy a lot, it is recommended to go to Qiyi Street to find a wholesale shop (you can ask the person at the inn for details). If you buy a single item, try to avoid it near Sifang Street and East Street. Because the location is good and the rent is expensive, their things are relatively expensive. You can go to a more remote alley to search for treasure. The shawl is usually around 15 yuan.

Maka:

What is a maca? Maca is a good thing. Men can't stand it if they eat it, and women can't stand it if they eat it. The hotel deposit cannot be refunded if a man and a woman eat together. Then why don't you have more such good things? I can't stand it if I plant too much! This sentence is enough to illustrate the main effect of Maca. But the effects of Maca go far beyond these.

Maca is a specialty under the snowy mountains of Lijiang. The alpine and cold areas of northwest Yunnan and Yunnan with an altitude of more than 3000 degrees above sea level, centered on Lijiang, are the best suitable planting areas for maca. They have the location advantages of high sea level and low latitude, and can meet the needs of maca growth. The geographical conditions and climatic advantages required at each stage, as well as the traditional farming culture, and the degree of refinement of planting management and production far exceeds that of the Andes Mountains of South America. Lijiang maca completely reaches or exceeds the quality of its place of origin.

According to the Institute of Process Engineering of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the nutritional content of maca in this area has reached the level of Peruvian maca. The maca grown in Lijiang is the only place in China that can provide authentic maca raw materials. The main effect of Maca is not only to enhance sexual function, but also to strengthen the system and relieve stress. It has a significant effect on maintaining physical strength and delaying menopause. However, Maca is like Cordyceps, with a large difference in quality and price. Xiaobian recommends buying it carefully. Please go to a regular medicinal herb store to buy it, with the price clearly marked and fair.

Lijiang tourism methods

Today, with transportation in all directions and information dissemination rapidly and quickly, tourism has changed from high-end enjoyment consumption to the most fashionable activity for the general public. In the past, we had to rely on travel agencies and follow groups when traveling. Now, more people have chosen to travel freely and self-help. For example, when we travel to Lijiang, we can check the "Lijiang Tourism Guide" online and find all kinds of information. Moreover, with everyone's rational understanding of tourism activities, more and more people realize that only by traveling freely can they truly feel the local cultural customs, rather than being led by travel agency guides to visit the store like a group like driving sheep. Shopping.

Below, Xiong Xiaowei analyzes in detail the characteristics of group tours in Lijiang and self-service tours in Lijiang:

1. Lijiang self-help tours have huge advantages compared with group tours. This is reflected in the following four aspects:

1.1, spatial element autonomy. It is up to you to decide which attractions to visit. A country or city usually has many different types of attractions. History, culture, customs, nature and so on. Choosing to go to a different place means choosing a completely different experience, which ultimately affects our vacation satisfaction. The team's routes and attractions are only fixed, and free travel is arranged at will.

1.2, time element autonomy. The time factor is controlled by the tourists themselves. When to go somewhere? How long will you stay there? These are all very important factors in travel. Choosing where to go is like setting the tune of a piece of music, and the amount of time spent on different attractions is like the length of the notes, the strength of the rhythm fluctuates. This is related to the beauty of travel planning and whether you can maximize the wonderful travel experience. The time schedule of the tour group is very tight. You can visit many attractions in a few days, but the tour time is very small, and you can arrange it at will for free travel.

1.3, money element autonomy. Control the elements of money in your own hands. By controlling your own spending, you can not only control the total cost, but also control the consumption proportion of each link. This will maximize the satisfaction of preferences and improve the cost performance. The travel agency's design route is designed from a purely commercial perspective from the pursuit of product cost-profit margins. Therefore, it is fundamentally clear that self-service travel is more cost-effective than group travel. We must see through the hidden consumption behind travel agency fees.

1.4, shopping factors are autonomous. Free travel also avoids the possibility of travel agencies entering shopping stores to spend money. Entering shopping points not only spends money, but also wastes a lot of sightseeing time. Choosing where to go means choosing the quality of the tour, and the time spent is the amount of travel; the proportion of money and experience satisfaction is the efficiency of travel. Free travel is completely in accordance with your own wishes. Based on the above points and your own situation, it is not difficult for you to choose whether to travel to Lijiang with a group or travel freely.

Of course, on the surface, traveling with a group to Lijiang seems very cheap. In fact, you have to travel many places and enter many shopping stores in a short period of time. A quick look at the tour will make you feel that all your time is wasted and you will not be able to fully understand Lijiang's cultural customs. The time you want to play and buy things by yourself is far from enough, and the price/performance ratio is very poor. On the other hand, travel agencies rely on this to make profits. Quotes below cost must be a price trap. Why is the price trap of traveling with a group cheap? The wool is on the sheep! When you get there, you have mandatory self-payment, tips, and wasted time entering the store. There is too little time for yourself.

Although the price of Lijiang Free Travel is higher than that of a group tour on the surface, it is entirely your own time and a real consumption. As long as you have a certain understanding of the local tourism market, you will be able to arrange Lijiang tourist routes and choose your favorite Lijiang tourist attractions according to your own preferences.

Let's use Lugu Lake tourism as an example:

There are usually three ways to travel from Lijiang to Lugu Lake:

A: Go with the travel team of a travel agency. One type is a group organized by a regular travel agency. There is shopping and the service standard is lower, but the price is lower. The other type is a pure play tour organized by an outdoor club. It promises not to shop in the store. The service standard is higher, but the price is more expensive, usually between 600 and 900 yuan. It guarantees full play and high-quality travel.

B: Lijiang Passenger Station takes a direct bus directly to Lugu Lake. The fare is 75 yuan/person, and the round-trip total is 150 yuan. This is relatively common, but you miss the scenic spots on the way and can't stop for you to sightseeing.

C: The round-trip cost of taking the Lugu Lake special line tourist bus ranges from 140 to 180 yuan. The car is a private vehicle of a local driver on Lugu Lake. You can also park for sightseeing on the way. However, the service quality is poor, there is no professional explanation, and there is also a possibility of forced and disguised consumption. The most important thing is that this kind of vehicle service has no guarantee and no travel insurance is purchased for tourists! It is more than 230 KM from Lijiang to Lugu Lake. Most of them are rugged mountain roads and take 6-7 hours. This shows the poor road conditions! But the risk is so great!

So, do we have a better choice for traveling to Lugu Lake?

Lijiang Xiong Xiaowei's answer is yes! We can choose self-service pure play tours! Dianxing Tourism Company has launched the "Lugu Lake Pure Fun Self-service Tour" service. Dianxing International Travel Agency, which has formal tourism service qualifications, organizes vehicles and is equipped with professional outdoor team leaders to lead everyone to Lugu Lake. All you need to do is pay the round-trip fare, Lugu Lake fare, travel insurance premium and 2 nights accommodation at Lugu Lake Mosuo Characteristic Inn. The 2-day Lugu Lake self-service pure fun tour only costs 650 yuan! It is entirely up to you to choose the attractions, and it is entirely up to you to decide how to play. You can clearly consume them! (Please refer to: )

This latest concept of "self-service travel" has the following characteristics: 1. Sign a formal travel contract and purchase formal travel insurance, which will be safe and secure, eliminating all worries.

2. Ultra-low special price, great value enjoyment, beautiful Lugu Lake, 650 in 2 days, what are you hesitating about?

3. Play all the time, don't go to any shopping spots, and leave your most abundant time for Lugu Lake!

4. Self-service throughout the process. You choose what you like. You just need to remember to gather at 10 a.m. the next day and return to Lijiang!

5. If you want to go around the lake and go to Caohai, Sichuan, you don't have to pay for the fare around the lake!

6. Lijiang has multiple designated points to pick you up and set out, making your trip to Lugu Lake convenient and fast.

7. You can both worry and be free! Is there a more perfect self-guided tour for traveling like this?

It can be seen that in Lijiang tourism, self-help tourism is the king way!

How to choose travel services?

Even if we chose free travel and self-service travel to Lijiang, we still had to find a travel service provider. Before traveling, we have many aspects to implement, such as: air ticket quotes, hotel (inn) prices, location, services, how to travel routes, and how to have a happier and more affordable time. We need a professional travel consulting service.

After arriving at our destination, we couldn't arrange the itinerary personally while we were in a different place. Self-service tours were casual. Unplanned situations could occur at any time during the trip. The situations varied and the needs varied. We needed a reliable service guarantee. To ensure a pleasant trip, choosing a good travel service provider is crucial. We can consider it from the following aspects:

1.1, reputation and service. Select companies with high credibility and guaranteed service quality. Understand clearly all the service items and standards of the service company, look at the company's online evaluation, website forum popularity, and decide based on your own situation. Credibility and service quality are the most important things. We must not covet cheap and lose big because of small things.

1.2, price. Price is an issue that we are very concerned about. The price is within a reasonable range, and the cheaper the better. How to judge whether the price of a service product is reasonable? Economics tells us that prices are determined by value and fluctuate up and down as the market changes. No less than the cost and no loss making is an eternal rule of the company's operations. When the service price is lower than the cost, the company will definitely lose money unless the company lowers the service standard. The characteristics of tourism products themselves determine the particularity of their prices. A particularly low price will only lead to particularly poor service quality, such as black cars, black guides, and black shops, so everyone should not take advantage of them and secretly lose out.

The price of any product has its reasonable floor. With this foundation, we began to shop around. Service standards, accommodation standards, car use, dining standards, and whether all include details such as attractions and transportation costs require our attention. Tourism is seasonal, and it is expensive in the off-season and low peak seasons, which remains unchanged forever. Although the seasonality of Lijiang is not very obvious. Because the winter in Lijiang is relatively cold, the peak season in Lijiang is usually from April to December, with the Spring Festival and National Day Golden Week at its peak, followed by summer.

1.3, response speed. You should choose those service providers that have fast response speed and high work efficiency, who can arrange everything for you in the first place, solve the problems you encounter on the way in the first place, and adjust services for you in the first place. In short, they are the ones that help you solve problems in the shortest and fastest time. Only a well-organized and reasonably operated service provider can provide such services and make your journey as enjoyable as possible.

2. Who to choose?

Influential merchants in Lijiang's tourism service industry:

1.1 Ctrip. com: Ctrip has become synonymous with Chinese tourism. If you want to travel, find Ctrip for booking air tickets, and find Ctrip for staying in a hotel. The three major domestic tourism service websites represented by Ctrip. com: Ctrip, elong, and Tongcheng are all national travel networks. Compared with other stations, its scale, service, and credibility are high, and tourists have good trust. Its advantages are that the company is large in scale, has abundant funds, is convenient to book, and has business spread across the country and many places around the world. The disadvantage lies in the service price, which is large in scale, so the cost is high. Ctrip does not create direct products, but only provides information services. Its profits come from customers, including actual service providers and customers.

1.2 Taobao Travel: I never thought that Taobao would also get involved in the tourism industry, including Tencent, which later entered. The advantage of Taobao tourism is that it focuses on those more mature markets. The price advantage lies in the ability to use Alipay to make payment, which is convenient and safe. Customers feel that Alipay payment method is guaranteed. Many people are not confident of the online payment method in full in advance, but the quality of Taobao cannot be guaranteed. Even if it is a few diamonds of credibility, it can be faked. Although Taobao later established a shopping mall and stipulated that only "licensed merchants" could sell tourism products on Taobao, tourism products are operated by many people and one system. If a problem occurs halfway, what you can do is to end the service with a tough temper and endure the pain and give the merchant a bad review!

1.3 Lijiang Dianxing Outdoor Tourism: Dianxing Tourism is Lijiang's earliest e-commerce platform engaged in self-service tourism. Now it has developed the function of booking itineraries with Mini programs. It is currently the most powerful Lijiang tourism information providing website in Lijiang, and it is also a large-scale comprehensive tourism service platform for personalized tourism and vacation product bookings, travel inquiries, and travel services.

Lijiang tourism considerations

Lijiang, Yunnan Province is located in the transition area between the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau. The ancient city of Lijiang is about 2400 meters above sea level. Most people usually do not experience altitude sickness in the ancient city of Lijiang. Lijiang's climate belongs to a low-latitude plateau monsoon climate, with abundant sunshine, strong ultraviolet rays, dry and windy winter, cool and rainy summer.

The annual temperature difference in Lijiang is small, and the temperature difference between morning and evening in a single day is large. The lowest temperature in the ancient city of Lijiang is about 0℃ in winter, and the highest temperature in summer is about 35℃. Friends who come to Lijiang should pay attention to sun protection and prepare sunglasses. It's best to wear thick clothes, your body is the asset. In addition to clothes, daily necessities, they are exposed to the sun during the day and cold at night. Bring summer clothes, winter clothes, and umbrellas. It may rain at any time. It is also good to block out the sun. In short, it is necessary to keep out the cold and sun protection.

(1) What season is the most suitable for traveling to Lijiang?

Many people are asking what season is the most suitable to come to Lijiang. In fact, Lijiang's natural attributes determine that Lijiang has beautiful scenery all year round, and Lijiang is worth playing in every season.

In spring, the mountains and rivers of Lijiang will be intoxicating, and the spring breeze is like a master of oil painting. The flowers bloom in the depths of the alleys in the ancient city set off the beautiful picture of small bridges and flowing water; looking up at the silver light of the Yulong Snow Mountain is unforgettable; In the fields of Lashihai, golden rapeseed flowers stick out their shy heads, and the lake surface looks like a sapphire against the sky; Spring in the courtyard is inviting you, which will make you feel drunk without wine in Lijiang, which is full of spring.

The continuous drizzle in Lijiang in summer has come, and the air has a little coolness. This is actually summer in Lijiang. Rainwater is green, transparent and beautiful in the ancient city of Lijiang. I wouldn't mind letting it wet my face. Sitting in the small courtyard and making a pot of green tea is Lijiang-style daze. Enjoy the rare coolness and the sunshine after the rain.

Autumn is poetic Lijiang, golden ginkgo trees play the autumn symphony, and golden small flowers bloom in the alley paved with bluestone. Walking in the autumn of Lijiang, my heart suddenly softened, and warmth fluctuated in my mind. I don't know how many people have been captured in this small city.

Lijiang does not feel dry in winter. The sun embraces this land every day. The winter sun is warm, and the clear stream flows through the ancient city glistening with golden light. The bonfire beside the fire pond on winter nights burns warmth and burns countless hearts. People from all over the world meet in this small town, meeting the city, meeting people, and meeting hearts.

Personal suggestions:

First: First of all, avoid Golden Week. There are many people, accommodation is tight and expensive. (There is really no way to avoid it)

Second: From the beginning of May to June, there are fewer tourists compared to the peak season. At this time, all kinds of small flowers in Shangri-La are in full bloom and the scenery is pleasant. It is a very good travel season.

Third: July, August and September is the rainy season in Lijiang. Travel will be affected, but it is also a good time to escape the heat. At this time, looking at the mountains and water is hazy and dreamy.

Fourth: From mid-September to November, Lijiang's autumn weather is crisp and distinctive. No matter where you go, the scenery is extremely beautiful. The wolf poison flowers in Shangri-La and the rain-blown fairyland outside the world are full of colorful colors.

Fifth: From December to February, this is the best season to see the snowy mountains. They are majestic and majestic!

Tip: Except for the rainy season in July and August, which is relatively cold, other times in Lijiang are similar all year round. You need to add a coat when it is chilly in the morning and evening. It is very comfortable to wear a T-shirt to bask in the sun during the day. In summer, Lijiang often has a few minutes of light rain from time to time during the day. Lijiang's climate is dry. In fact, a little light rain can moisten the air and is also excellent.

How much does it cost to go to Lijiang

(2) How much does it cost to Lijiang?

Many friends ask online how much it costs to visit Lijiang, and the cost depends on the specific itinerary.

Eat: Although Lijiang belongs to the fourth and fifth tier cities, the price of catering is not necessarily lower than that of the first and second tier cities. Relatively speaking, due to the higher rents in the ancient city, restaurants in the ancient city are generally slightly more expensive than those outside the ancient city. Xiaobian suggests that you can consider restaurants near Huama Street and Jinkai Square. The prices are relatively reasonable in Lijiang.

Accommodation: There are thousands of inns in Lijiang, with prices ranging from tens of yuan to thousands of yuan. However, whether it is off-season or peak season, the price of more comfortable inns will generally remain between 150 and 300. Of course, there are also inns under 100 in Lijiang. Apart from the slightly poor hardware facilities, these inns have a very good atmosphere.

Play: There are many attractions worth visiting in and around Lijiang, such as Lashihai, Yulong Snow Mountain, Shangri-La, Lugu Lake, and Yubeng, which is comparable to heaven. If you don't get trapped, going to Lashihai usually costs around 150 yuan. Of course, if you think your time is worthless, you can choose eighty yuan. Xiaobian can only say here: Hehe. The cost for Lugu Lake and Shangri-La will be around 800 to 1,000. This is a quality group, and the cost for Yulong Snow Mountain will be around 600. The price of Yupeng Group is generally 178.

Of course, you can choose not to follow a group for scenic spots. There are also many low-cost groups in the ancient city. However, according to Xiaobian's long-term experience, his trip will be very troublesome, and the price will be higher than that of a group tour, because many scenic spots around Lijiang require chartered cars. Moreover, Lijiang's tourism market is relatively chaotic, so who is it if you don't want to screw up? If you want to make low-cost tours, you should think carefully. Now that the Internet is very developed and the information is very transparent, you can calculate for yourself. A tour below the cost must have problems. It is either poor accommodation or poor food. There are also many reduced attractions, and more shopping and hidden consumption. Not only are they not fun, but they will end up costing more than a quality tour. There are many travel agencies in Lijiang. You must consider carefully when signing up for a tour. In order to save money, you may spend more money, and you may not have a good time. In the end, you will only be the one who will be deceived.

(3) What should I bring to travel to Lijiang?

Friends who come to Lijiang for the first time are worried and confused. What equipment do they need to bring?

Lijiang Tourism Dress Tips:

1. Clothes:

For travelers who love travel and sports, the sports and leisure mash-and-match suit not only has the softness and elasticity of sportswear, but its rough and thick fabric provides solid and wear-resistant personal protection for mountain climbing and hiking. Jackets, sports T-shirts, and jeans are a cool three-piece set that can be called the comfortable and handsome "Three Musketeers" among travel clothes.

2. Shoes:

You must pay attention to the choice of shoes when traveling to Yunnan. When purchasing, you should pay attention to the moderate strength of the toes and heels and should have anti-slip stripes; when trying on, it is best to move freely. Walking for a long time can cause swelling in your feet, so travel shoes must be a size larger than your usual shoes.

Big taboos for wearing Lijiang tourism: high heels. Lijiang is a plateau city, and its terrain is no different than that of plains. Moreover, Lijiang tourism mainly includes ancient town tours, hiking tours, and mountains and rivers tours. The ancient city of Lijiang uses stone slabs to pave roads. Wearing high heels to Lijiang Tourism will definitely be considered the most unprofessional and failed. Beautiful women can bring a pair of high heels and wear them when taking photos or going to bars, but they must not wear them to participate in tourist routes. Otherwise, you will be cheating yourself.

3. Pants:

The wear-resistance of pants is very important. For general outdoor activities, loose jeans and cotton casual pants give you comfort and elegance. But experts suggest that for real outdoor sports, choose windproof pants made of GORETEX fabric.

4. Windproof clothing:

This is currently a very popular outdoor clothing in the world. It is usually made of waterproof and breathable GORETEX fabric, which has good wind resistance and warmth retention properties. This high-tech product also has rainwater that cannot penetrate, and sweat generates steam. The magical effect that can be emitted. Most of these windbreakers are matched with bright contrasting colors to make a relatively loose hooded short windbreaker style. The waist size is adjustable, making it easy and casual to wear, which is conducive to outdoor activities. Add a sweater inside to resist the cold at night.

5. Hat:

Yunnan tourism has strong ultraviolet rays. When traveling, hats not only can shade the sun and enrich the layering of clothing, but also can solve the problem with one hat when it is too late to take care of your hair. It is best to choose materials that can be folded. It is recommended to choose a hat type based on the itinerary you participate in. You can choose a beautiful style in the urban area. When hiking in Shenshan, it is recommended to choose a round wide-brimmed sunscreen hat.

6. Sunglasses:

In Lijiang, sunglasses are also one of the important equipment. Even if he is dressed casually and paired with fashionable sunglasses, he immediately has a star style. When choosing sunglasses made of dark polarized lenses during outdoor activities, they can make the light beams entering the eyes in the same direction and soften them, eliminate the interference of external light, make the field of vision clear and natural, and be very practical while playing cool.

7. Sun protection:

Lijiang's sunshine intensity is very high, and the ultraviolet intensity is even more terrifying. Lijiang locals have dark skin colors, so beautiful and handsome people come to Lijiang to travel without wanting to become locals in a day, or be mistakenly thought that they have just returned from Africa. When you come back from Kenya, you must bring high-power sunscreen; The air in Lijiang is also very dry. Moisturizing masks and creams are must-have items. In addition, when you go to bed at night, you can put a basin of water in the room to increase the humidity, otherwise you will feel a sore throat or even a nosebleed the next day.

Tip: Lijiang's climate is dry and the temperature difference between morning and evening is relatively large all year round. Even in summer, it will be cooler when it rains. You also need to bring a coat to travel to Lijiang in summer.

Lijiang Specialty Bar

Lijiang Bar has never been defined, because Lijiang Bar, like Lijiang itself, is intoxicated at night and simple during the day. It does not deliberately create a style, but it is very popular because of its casual nature. On the right side of Dashiqiao Bridge in Xinhua Street in the ancient city of Lijiang is the famous Lijiang Bar Street at home and abroad. At night, Lijiang Bar Street lights up with swaying candlelight lights, the window is the melodious or bold singing of the bar, and the window is the small river flowing water, reflecting a collection of loneliness, nostalgia, and romance...

Bars in Lijiang are divided into "three major genres":

There are bars on Xinhua Street, noisy bars on the street, quiet bars on May 1st Street and near the South Gate, and "dining bars" floating between restaurants and bars.

Bar Street: The official street name is Xinhua Street, which is the main street connecting the water wheel at the entrance of the ancient city and Sifang Street in the center of the ancient city. It can be very noisy here at night, the stereo is deafening, and there are older brothers and younger sisters outside every house. They wear better national costumes. The bar here is a disco. If you want to get high, I suggest you go there.

Jingba on Wuyi Street and South Gate: People who live in Lijiang prefer to go to the bars near Wuyi Street and South Gate. They are not very noisy and can hear some original songs by wandering singers. Drink some wine and chat with friends from all over the world. The feeling is definitely something you will never experience in the hustle and bustle of the city.

Another very distinctive bar in Lijiang is called Huotang Bar. It is relatively small in area, not many guests, the music is more personalized, the wine is more unique (home-brewed), and the environment is relatively original. Most of them are in very remote alleys, with a fire in the middle. Everyone can chat and listen to singing around the fire, or entertain themselves. The consumption is lower than that of a bar street, so it is called "Qing Bar".

Students who don't like to go to bars should go to see song and dance performances. Lijiang has two famous large-scale song and dance performances,"Lishui Jinsha" and "Naxi Ancient Music."

Lijiang Anti-Fraud Guide

The following common sense of anti-fraud will be introduced to everyone and give you advice on how to prevent fraud while traveling in Lijiang.

1. Beware of "wild horse guides" and soliciting people at airports and stations, especially Guchengkou.

Lijiang Station and Airport and other passenger distribution centers have gathered a large number of unidentified people with various signs. Some sell tickets, some drag people to Gucheng hotels to stay in, and some drag people to participate in tours. They definitely do not have legal qualifications, but most of them have a very strong ability to observe people's opinions, can appeal to them, and be eloquent. They first sell them at high prices, and if not, they use ultra-low prices to lure them. Once they succeed, they will immediately resell customers. In the blink of an eye, he couldn't find him. In fact, there are many problems here. Since they can accept customers at a loss at a low price, they naturally have a way to extort customers (how to deal with it: just say they have been there or found a place to stay).

2. Beware of taxi traps

There are some taxis or local black cars in Lijiang waiting around the airport and some large hotels and hotels, using some rhetoric to defraud tourists 'trust, and earn high rebates by introducing accommodation, local restaurants, and traveling. Among them, the most risky is to follow Lijiang black taxi drivers to participate in tourism. They are tricked to Wenfeng Temple or surrounding temples at low prices to donate money to the so-called eminent monks to build temples or open jewelry, fortune telling, etc., and once they are found to have been deceived, they will have no way to complain. Because the black car driver will argue that he took the customer there "at the customer's request."

3. Cheap goods are no good goods

The phrase "cheap goods are no good goods" is also very appropriate for Lijiang tourism. In terms of accommodation reservations and travel arrangements, taxi or black car drivers have no advantage over regular hotels. All they can introduce is low-value artificial landscape projects and transportation vehicles without tourism qualifications and safety guarantees.

There are also many tour groups that are priced below cost. As long as you sign up, there are ways to trick you.

The Internet is a very transparent medium. There are also many websites on the Internet that introduce Lijiang tourism, and there are various quotations for the same routes and attractions. Why? When tourists choose travel routes online, they should carefully check the specific attractions and items in the itinerary and whether tickets for the attractions and items in the itinerary are included in the price of the route. Although some websites indicate a lot of content during the itinerary, they only indicate the attractions tickets that the price actually includes in an inconspicuous place. My personal suggestion is to sign up for a local group when you arrive in Lijiang. It is relatively more reliable.

4. Lies about the affair in Lijiang Bar

Whether it is a real affair or a fake affair, it is also a high-risk event on the road. Beware of a deliberate swindler turning into a romantic foreign lover, losing both life and wealth after a night of romance or a couple of days! I have too much expectations and illusions about foreign romances during the journey, so I advise you not to rush to develop even if you are destined to meet new friends on the journey. Protecting yourself is the most important thing, and you don't even have a high-risk encounter!

5. Understand the credibility of Lijiang Inn

At present, there are thousands of inns in the ancient city. If you look more, you should still be able to find rooms with a price difference of more than ten to twenty yuan. However, additional services are actually the criterion for measuring the price. If any items such as hygiene, tranquility, location, etc. are ignored by the innkeeper, the indirect losses to the guests will be more than ten yuan. Among the thousands of inns mixed with good and bad people, understanding the stories of the inns, understanding what the inns are, and understanding the reputation of the inns will all be related to the joy of your trip to Lijiang.

6. Shuhe Ancient Town does not accept tickets now

If you go, don't listen to the kind-hearted people who brought you in. They are unnecessary kind-hearted and don't bother with them. Shuhe takes a taxi to the entrance of Jiuding Longtan, which can avoid the harassment of these people, and then you can visit the ancient town along the road without repeating the road. There is no need for tickets to Black Dragon Pool Park, provided you have a receipt from the ancient Wei fee. If you can get there before 7 a.m., you don't need to check the ancient Wei ticket. Baisha Ancient Town does not require a ticket, but Baisha murals require a ticket of 60, and cannot be photographed and can be viewed selectively.

7. There are various routes for riding and boating in Lashihai

There is no need for tickets to directly send cars to the racecourse, and there is no limit on the time limit for playing. Outside, Sister Naxi said that the fare is 100 yuan to go to horse riding or the fare is 5 yuan to 10 yuan to go to Lashihai. The personal experience of the tourists who have been slaughtered has proved that this is a very unreliable thing.

8. Many local companies in the ancient city of Lijiang sell jade at high prices and discounts at low prices. The prices are confusing and the quality is difficult to guarantee

To buy jade, you must go to a regular large-scale shopping mall. Only if you meet the following conditions can you buy safe goods: clear price; be able to issue national formal bills; be able to issue some national quality inspection certificates; and have after-sales guarantees. Yunnan is a transit and distribution center for jade and jade. In the more competitive jade market, merchants who dare to clearly specify the actual price, have after-sales service guarantees, have value-added plans, and can exchange goods after purchase have credibility. Beware of being deceived into buying high-priced goods and fakes in the ancient city.

9. Maca

The main effect is not only to enhance sexual function, but also to enhance physical fitness and relieve stress, which has a significant effect on maintaining physical strength and delaying menopause. The health effects of maca are achieved through long-term use. Some merchants simply misled and boasted that maca's effect is "Viagra" and bought fakes that "take effect in a short time and enhance sexual ability." Buying maca is also done at a regular shopping mall with regular publicity.

10. Travel to Shangri-La

There are unscrupulous merchants who boast about the efficacy of Tibetan medicine to lure tourists into being deceived. We must beware of Tibetan medicine for medical treatment and medicine procrastination. It is best not to see a doctor casually or buy medicine casually.

Six tips to prevent fraud

When people are traveling, they will inevitably be slaughtered. It is no surprise to be deceived. Buy fake goods and lose money. Entangling right and wrong, depressed and helpless. Learn a few tricks to deal with business. Lijiang is no longer being slaughtered, you are so talented! The above is that during traveling to Lijiang, many tourists are often deceived by some shopping scams because they are unfamiliar with the place, or they make you buy high-priced fake goods, which will damage your money and greatly reduce your travel.

If you can be mentally prepared and be on guard against it, deception may not work on you.

The first trick: Don't buy or ask. If you see a tourism product in the ancient city and don't want to buy it for the time being, don't ask. As long as you ask for a price, the small vendor will go out of his way to introduce you to how high quality, how low price, how to be unique, how to insure or change their products, which will make you buy them while you are confused. If you do have shopping plans, it is best to go to a regular large shopping mall to buy them.

Second trick: Shake your head and say "no." This method is extremely simple and extremely useful for peddlers.

The third trick: If you don't know how to buy it in the ancient city. This method is adopted for jade, diamonds, crystals, pearls, tea, medicinal materials, etc., and you cannot blindly trust the introduction of the promoters. If there are friends in the local area who can help him identify them, if there are no acquaintances and you don't know anything about the trade, it's best not to buy them. Otherwise, the jade, diamonds, and crystals you buy may be a pile of glass; the tea and medicinal materials you buy may not be the real price.

The fourth trick: Don't believe in the "fellow villagers" who suddenly appear. Whenever a "fellow villager" suddenly appears after entering the store and claims to buy you bargains at sky-high prices, or goods that only need to pay taxes without paying money, you should be particularly vigilant. This "fellow villager" is probably "Tuo".

The fifth trick: Do not participate in "cheap activities." Whenever passers-by or taxi drivers ask you to see any "cheap show" in a tourist destination, don't go. Once you go, there is a great chance of being blackmailed.

The sixth trick: Don't take valuables. For example, jade articles priced at tens of thousands of yuan, precious porcelain bottles, precious specimens, etc., do not pick them up, to beware of "touching porcelain" disputes. Once you take it, there is a crack or damage, and you can only compensate for it.

Lijiang is a place worth visiting! But be sure to have fierce eyes!

For Lijiang, here are some suggestions and strategies that I have to say. If you like it, you can follow the script, but if you don't like it, just laugh it off. I hope it can bring convenience to everyone.

Let me first tell you about the nine major "sequelae" of traveling to Lijiang. Even if he fled, he still left behind an incurable terminal disease, Lijiang sequelae.

Sequela 1: I repeatedly listen to the music I picked up from the Taoba, but no matter how hard I listen, I can't hear the taste of Taoba in the ancient city of Lijiang. Even so, I don't want to change the disc, and always hope to regain some feeling.

Sequela 2: While walking on the road, I still keep looking at my feet. I like the colorful stone road in the ancient town so much. Perhaps it is too old or there are too many tourists, but now the colorful stone road surface in the ancient town is polished so smoothly, and it is a little uneven. Walking on it, you will always unconsciously take a few glances, rub the road surface with your soles, and feel the beautiful road surface. The thrill brought.

Sequela 3: When I see a woman wearing a scarf, I can't help but look at it more, not at the woman, but at the scarf whether there is Dongba Wen in it. Perhaps the temperature difference is too large. There are very few female tourists in Lijiang who don't buy Naxi (or Mosuo) style scarves. Therefore, women wandering around the ancient city always wear scarves on their shoulders, which become a beautiful scenery in all colors. Women stare at the scarves in the store, and men stare at the scarves on women.

Sequela 4: Seeing the wheels, I think of the waterwheel. The big waterwheel at the entrance of the ancient city and the small waterwheel in the water street left a deep impression on northerners. When I came back, I thought of the waterwheel when I saw the wheels turning, and I couldn't drive them away.

Sequela 5: I like to bask in the sun. Looking at the sun above my head, I suddenly realized that the sun in Lijiang is more valuable. It is blue sky and white clouds, clear springs and green grass, and red rafters and green tiles. Listening to the melodious singing coming from afar, watching the tourists passing by, I can't tell if you are a scenery or he (she) is a scenery.

Sequela 6: I started to get used to chatting with people I didn't know. All people who went temporarily forgot their troubles. The happy mood helped you to chat up and chat with anyone I didn't know, forgetting the existence of time.

Sequela 7: I like Lijiang folk houses. The scenery of the ancient city of Lijiang is absolutely first-class. It is really like flowing water from every household, and every household is looking for poplar trees. Lijiang's water is the clearest and transparent water I have ever seen. The spring water has been gurgling endlessly for years. Lijiang's residential buildings have a unique style. Every household has its own courtyard, and it is a unified system. It is built according to local conditions and is beautifully decorated. It was definitely a big pity to arrive at Lijiang Buzhu Inn.

Sequela 8: I always think about when to go to a place like Lijiang again. I just need to go once. But when I left Lijiang, everyone said at the same time,"Lijiang, I will come back" What attracts us to go back? Is it the ancient tea-horse road or Naxi ancient music? Is it blue sky and white clouds or small bridges and flowing water? Is it chicken bean jelly or Naxi grilled fish? Is it folk customs or scenery? Is it woman or man?... In fact, if you think too much, you can't go back. It's the simplicity there that makes so many people obsessed?

Sequela 9: Losing yourself. If you are too fond of Lijiang, you may lose yourself. Because of Lijiang's blue sky and sunshine, wandering around boredom and gradually becoming lazy can help you escape reality. How many people can really escape?

The lights of the ancient city of Lijiang have spawned countless romantic stories, perhaps one of them is you
