Return to real travel and experience the most authentic side of Lijiang,

The meaning of travel cares about the process of experience and the real results that belong to you.

Don't worry about Lijiang's purity or not. When you come to Lijiang, you have to get along with Lijiang slowly.

Time = squandering, life = enjoying the sunshine, mood = Lijiang sky, scenery = beautiful memories, leaving = waiting for the next meeting. Integrate into the slow life of Lijiang and enjoy the time in Lijiang, either going to Lijiang or on the road to Lijiang.

I often see some outdated strategies on the Internet, which makes some friends feel cheated when they go to Yunnan and Lijiang. Outdated travel information is really a scam for friends traveling!

1. Choice of travel methods

Be sure to confirm before traveling. Usually, friends traveling to Lijiang are nothing more than pure self-guided tours and semi-self-guided tours, and thorough group tours. Here, I suggest that you choose a semi-self-service tour, with a free and guaranteed personality, and a purely shopping travel experience. Here are three travel methods for everyone in detail.

1. A thorough group tour means starting from your place of departure and finding a local travel agency to group up. Most of these itineraries are regular itineraries operated by traditional travel agencies. For example, the 6-day Shangri-La tour in Lijiang Dali, the 3-day tour in Lijiang Dali, etc. The itineraries of these traditional travel agency routes are generally relatively tight, with shopping time required in the middle. Because of shopping, the price is relatively cheap. For example, a recent Kunming tour: The 5-night and 6-day tour of Kunming-Lijiang-Shangri-La-Meili Snow Mountain is only 1350 yuan per person, including food, accommodation and transportation. Such tourist routes are usually operated by traditional Yunnan travel agencies. Although there is shopping in the middle, there are also shortcomings in scenic spots. However, some elderly people and price-sensitive people will choose such routes more.

2. Semi-self-guided tours refer to the semi-outdoor tour routes organized by local outdoor clubs that you book online before departure and participate in after arriving in Lijiang. Because although this type of tourist routes is more personalized and free than traditional travel agency routes, it is still different from pure outdoor hiking routes. There are a small amount of hiking, and most of them still take buses and stay in hotels. However, there is basically no shopping link, mainly relying on the organization of the itinerary itself to make profits. This kind of tourist route is relatively more free and unique, and more suitable for young people to participate! The more famous outdoor clubs in Lijiang include Lijiang Dianhang Outdoor Club (first choice), Lijiang Meizhi Travel Outdoor Club, Lijiang Dianma Outdoor Club, Lijiang Jinsha Outdoor Club, etc. To participate in such clubs, you should also pay attention to selecting large, regular and qualified ones with travel agency qualifications, and they will be guaranteed in case of problems! The prices of this type of club are relatively high, but the quality of travel is also more guaranteed! For example, the price of a 2-day tour of Shangri-La Pudacuo National Park is generally 800- 1,000 yuan.

3. Purely self-guided tours refer to outdoor routes privately organized by you or some local hiking friends in Lijiang. Some of them are purely spontaneous. Everyone plays together and does not make money. They only need everyone to share the cost of the team leader. Others are organized by individuals and have low costs, so the quoted prices are relatively low. For example, Shangri-La is 400- 600 yuan per person for two days. Because this type of tour route is organized by individuals, it is relatively more casual and free. However, there is basically no safety and guarantee. The only guarantee may be to personally purchase accidental injury insurance. This is what insiders call a black group, and it is not recommended that everyone participate. When traveling, safety comes first.

2. Lijiang Tourism and Transportation Guide

[Aircraft]: Cities that can fly directly to Lijiang include Kunming, Banna, Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Chengdu, Shenzhen, Xi'an, Chongqing, Nanjing, Guiyang, Xiamen, Hangzhou and other cities. Tourists from some direct cities will also choose to fly to Kunming first and then take a plane or train or car from Kunming to Lijiang. Firstly, there are more flights to Kunming, and secondly, sometimes it is cheaper to transfer flights to Kunming than to fly directly to Lijiang. It is recommended to book air tickets early for a large discount.

[Train]: Trains from Kunming to Lijiang use new air-conditioned vehicles with hard seats, hard sleepers, and soft sleepers. The fare is 142 yuan for the upper berth, 147 yuan for the middle berth, and 152 yuan for the lower berth for the hard berth, 217 yuan for the upper berth and 226 yuan for the upper berth for the soft berth, and 90 yuan for the hard seat. Lijiang is a tourist city, and the railway will adjust the train number according to the off-season and peak seasons. It is recommended to check the official website of the Ministry of Railways for specific timetables.

[Car]: During the tourist season, friends who cannot buy train tickets can choose to take a bus from Kunming Western Passenger Station to Lijiang. The bus from Kunming to Lijiang is really long and hard. Everyone should be mentally prepared for 7-8 hours of bumps. Moreover, if you take a cheap sleeper (about 150 yuan), the taste is still very depressing. It is recommended to buy a mask. There are many sleeper cars, basically many times a day, at the latest around 22 o'clock. In addition, you can choose a car with high-speed seats, which costs about 160-220 yuan. Friends who are fond of fun can also play Dali first and then come from Dali. There are also many buses from Dali to Lijiang. The latest is around 19 o'clock, and the ticket price is more than 40-60.

[Lijiang Airport to Gucheng] 30 kilometers, about 30-40 minutes by car. There are 3 methods:

a. Inn pick up: Make reservations in advance, and some inns can provide pick-up services. The wool is on the sheep, and it is recommended to pay for it yourself.

b. Taxi: Generally 80-120 yuan. You can't drive into the ancient city. You can only park the car at the entrance of the ancient city and call the inn staff to pick it up. Otherwise, it will be difficult to find the maze-like ancient city. At the entrance, there are North Gate Ancient City Administration Bureau, Gucheng Police Station, Dashuichui, South Gate, Fuguo Hotel Crossing, Lijun Hotel, Wenchang Palace, etc.

c. Civil aviation bus: Take it at the airport gate, 20 yuan/person, and get off at the Lantian Hotel in Xincheng. To get to the ancient city, you can take a taxi for 10-20 yuan, which is a 10-minute drive. It is recommended to walk a little further after getting off the bus before taking a taxi: Be more careful and pay attention to safety. From the airport to the Urban area, there is a bus for flights; from the Urban area to the airport, the last bus is 21 o'clock.

[Lijiang Railway Station to Ancient City] 15 kilometers, about 20-30 minutes by car. There are 3 methods:

1. Buses: There are No. 18, No. 11, No. 4, etc. Route 11 will go to Shuhe Gate, so buses are more difficult to wait.

2. Van: If you are willing to take a 10-yuan van (for soliciting passengers), that's fine. Be more careful and pay attention to safety.

3. Inn pick up: Make a reservation in advance and ask the inn to pick up the station. It is best to pay for it yourself. There is no free lunch in the world.

3. Lijiang tourism itinerary planning

Lijiang's unique geographical location and the famous ancient city of Lijiang make Lijiang a tourist gateway and distribution center in northwest Yunnan. Let's first get to know about the classic attractions in Lijiang and its surrounding areas, which are as follows: Dayan Ancient City, Shuhe Ancient Town, Baisha Ancient Town, Yulong Snow Mountain, Lashihai, Guanyin Gorge, Laojun Mountain, Lugu Lake (Caohai, Daluoshui, Xiaolushui, Ligge, etc.), Tiger Leaping Gorge, Shangri-La (Dukezong Ancient City, Guishan Park, Songzan Forest Temple, Pudacuo National Park, Shika Snow Mountain, etc.), Meili Snow Mountain, Mingyong Glacier, Yubeng (Shenwaterfall, Ice Lake), Dali (Dali Ancient City, Butterfly Spring, Chongsheng Temple Three Towers, Xizhou, Shuanglang, etc.), Daocheng Yading, etc. (The major attractions will not be introduced one by one here. Friends who need to know more can go directly to Baidu)

Friends who have enough time can finish all these places in one go, and friends who don't have enough holidays can choose some of the attractions they have long liked to visit based on their own time. Friends who come to Lijiang usually say this: "You can't finish playing in one visit to Lijiang." This is the truth, because what you are playing is not just a simple place in Lijiang. Moreover, the leisurely feeling of the ancient city of Lijiang has made many friends linger. Of course, some friends come for the so-called romantic encounter, hehe. Of course, you can also join the Lijiang Dianxing Outdoor Happy Hiking Group (220693321) for discussion.

Recommended 9-day itinerary D (Lijiang Ancient City 1 day +[Shangri-La + Meili Snow Mountain] 4 days + Lugu Lake 2 days + Yulong Snow Mountain 1 day + Lashihai 1 day)

The above itineraries depart from Lijiang as the center to Dali, Lugu Lake, Shangri-La, Yulong Snow Mountain, Lashihai, Meili Snow Mountain, Yubeng, etc. The biggest difference from the traditional routes of the travel agency's Kundalixiang Banna is that it takes the least amount of time. On the road, it is more free, more classic, and the most talented. I would like to remind everyone to arrange the itinerary before booking accommodation when traveling to Lijiang. Otherwise, the entire itinerary will be very passive.

Selection of tourist routes (important)

Lijiang Dianhang Outdoor recommends that everyone go to high-quality groups that are pure fun and no shopping, so we can directly PASS regular shopping groups organized by travel agencies! So how to choose a true pure play-quality group? What traps are waiting for us now?

1. Judging from the price, this is the most direct.

The following expenses are calculated based on weekday market prices and will double during the Golden Week. Take the most classic Lijiang-Shangri-La two-day tour and Lijiang-Lugu Lake two-day tour in northwest Yunnan as examples:

Chartering fee: about 1,000 - 1,200 per day for ordinary commercial vehicles

Accommodation: 60 yuan/person-100 yuan/person/night (market price of Shangri-La Business Hotel and Lugu Lake Inn)

Tickets for attractions: Tiger Leaping Gorge 65 yuan, Pudacuo 260 yuan (including sightseeing buses in the scenic area) Songzanlin Temple 115 yuan, Lugu Lake 100 yuan

Insurance: 10-20 yuan/person

Tour guide fee: The normal tour guide subsidy should be 100-300 yuan/day (based on the tour guide's workload, there should be this salary)

If it is lower than the above cost-accounting price, 100% is a low-priced shopping group, even under the banner of quality tourism.

2. Judge from the content included in the fee.

Take the two-day pure entertainment tour of Shangri-La as an example. A real pure entertainment group at least includes plateau oxygen and winter clothing when going to Shangri-La. Then there are Tibetan performances in Shangri-La, including "Dream Shangri-La" and "Shambhala Night". The so-called pseudo-pure play group will not include these things. In short, the more self-funded projects, the less complete the pure play group will be. The minimum standard for pure play is not to enter shopping stores.

3. Please read carefully the several major pitfalls that exist in the Lijiang tourist route market now!

①. Due to fierce market competition, the widely distributed individual customer reception stores in the Ancient City of Lijiang and Shuhe Ancient Town use extremely low prices for pseudo-pure shopping and even forced shopping groups to attract tourists with unknown circumstances. The common feature of this type of tour group is that the price is extremely low. When consulting customer service, it is guaranteed that there will be absolutely no shopping and no entry into the store. However, when actually participating in the tour group, the tour guide who leads the tour group is another set of excuses. What? Do you want to complain? Forget it! Where can I complain about this kind of verbal thing without evidence? They will not write on the receipt and travel contract that they will not enter the store for purely entertainment! The most important thing is the price! The two-day tour of Shangri-La costs more than 300 yuan, but even the cost is not enough. How do you want to play it purely?

②. The army of soliciting aunts and aunts widely scattered at airports, railway stations, bus stations and intersections in the ancient city of Lijiang! Please don't underestimate this group of people. There are quite a few tourists they drag there every day. Pick-up slogan: Do you use a car? Lashihai Tea Horse Ancient Road and Shuhe River, five yuan each! This is not the case when you arrive at Lashihai Racecourse. The price for one person ranges from 280-580 yuan depending on the length of the route. What? Don't want to ride? How can I do that? I'll just put you there out of the village! There are definitely not a few people who have been deceived like this! Friends can search directly on Baidu: "Don't go to Lashihai" and you will understand! This is how the image of Lashihai was destroyed! But are you really not going to Lashihai? Of course not! There are still real one-day tours of the Lashihai Tea and Horse Ancient Road!

③. Examples of travel plan formulation: Use practical examples to provide reference for friends to formulate travel plans for Lijiang, so that friends can make travel plans based on their actual situation. The following examples are all representative. Friends can compare them based on their own circumstances and probably make a more feasible itinerary for themselves.

Example 1: During the summer this year, Shenzhen Xiao Li and his company colleagues had 8 people who wanted to travel to Lijiang for about 7 days. Because it was the first time they came to Lijiang, they wanted to visit as many places as possible, and they didn't want to waste their time in shopping stores. They just wanted to play purely and had limited time, so they chose a semi-self-service tour and booked air tickets and inns online. He left the itinerary in Lijiang to us to arrange.

According to the actual situation of Xiao Li and his party of eight, we arranged the itinerary: pick up the train station on the first day, check into the inn, take a break, and visit the ancient city. The next day, we went to the Lashihai Tea Horse Ancient Road for a one-day trip. This was a very cost-effective route. We were still a little tired all day. In the evening, we took them to eat the best black goat hot pot in Lijiang. The next day, we participated in a two-day pure play tour of Lugu Lake and returned to Lijiang on the third day. Without wasting time, we took them to Lijiang's more interesting bars in the evening. On the fourth day, we will directly participate in the Shangri-La two-day pure entertainment tour without taking a break, and return to Lijiang on the fifth day. On the sixth day, I participated in a one-day tour of Yulong Snow Mountain. On the seventh day, we rested in the morning and concentrated shopping in the afternoon. I took them to the ancient city to buy some discounted Lijiang specialties. The train leaves Lijiang to Kunming at 9:58 p.m. ends a pleasant trip to Lijiang.

Summary: This arrangement is more suitable for friends who have tight schedules and want to visit more attractions. Of course, they must have good physical strength and energy, and they are really tiring after playing. But Xiao Li and the others said it was worth the tiredness.

Example 2: Sister Hu, her 11-year-old daughter, and Sister Hu's mother (65 years old) took advantage of their daughter's summer vacation to visit Lijiang. There is plenty of time, and I have arranged for 10 days in Lijiang. Because she is bringing the elderly and children, Sister Hu still wants to focus on leisure, and just go to some representative attractions.

According to the actual situation of Sister Hu's family of three, we arranged the itinerary: We picked up the airport on the first day and checked into the inn. Because it was already very late, we arranged for the driver to pick it up directly to the inn, and explained some issues that should be paid attention to when traveling to Lijiang. The next day, we mainly focused on visiting the ancient city to eat delicious food and getting used to the altitude of Lijiang. Considering that Sister Hu's mother was a little old, she gave up the riding trip to Lashihai. On the third day, she directly participated in a two-day pure tour of Lugu Lake. On the fourth day, she returned to Lijiang. On the fifth day, Sister Hu and her group of three went to Shuhe Ancient Town, which is very close to the ancient city, and booked an inn in Shuhe Ancient Town in advance. On the sixth day, I participated in a one-day tour of Yulong Snow Mountain directly from Shuhe Ancient Town, and watched the large-scale live-action performance of "Impression of Lijiang" directed by Zhang Yimou. I still stayed in Shuhe at night because Sister Hu's mother thought that Shuhe would be quieter with fewer people and would not be as noisy as the ancient city of Lijiang. On the seventh day, Sister Hu and her family of three went to Heilongtan Park for free with the ancient city maintenance fee they bought from the Yulong Snow Mountain. I participated in the Shangri-La two-day pure entertainment tour on the eighth and ninth days, and returned to Lijiang Ancient City on the ninth day. On the morning of the tenth day, we went to visit Mufu and called me in the afternoon to ask me to take them to buy some real spirulina. Both the elderly and children wanted to eat some. Flight in the evening to end a pleasant trip to Lijiang.

Summary: Generally speaking, the itinerary of Sister Hu's family of three is relatively casual, but to be honest, no matter how casual the route is, it will always feel tired as long as they go out to travel, and it is only relatively simple and relaxing. However, what Sister Hu is most satisfied with is not the scenic spots she visited. She feels average in this regard. The main reason was that I ate many delicacies in Lijiang, including wild mushroom, salmon, preserved pork ribs, black goat, and potato chicken.

Example 3: Xiaofei is a student who just finished the college entrance examination this year. His test scores were relatively ideal and he successfully entered the first book. The college entrance examination scores of their entire class were very good. So he agreed to take a graduation trip during the summer to make a successful end to his high school life. There were 13 students who had the same idea as Xiaofei for about 8 days. During the consultation process with Xiaofei, the selection of scenic spots took a lot of effort, and it took a total of 10 days. At first, I preferred to travel with Meili Snow Mountain for a four-day trip. After learning that the Mingyong Glacier was not very beautiful this season, I recommended them the six-day trip in Yubeng. This trip can give you a very in-depth trip to Meili Snow Mountain. What is more meaningful is that this is a route with high hiking intensity, which is also a big test for them who are about to graduate from high school and are about to enter college life. Because of the large number of people, it took a lot of time to determine this route. Several girls were still afraid of this route, and there were also safety factors. Finally, Xiaofei's father added my QQ account and chatted with me once, thinking that our team was relatively mature and reliable. After reassurance in this regard, Xiaofei and the others were going to persuade several other girls to participate in this route. It went well. In the end, they reached an agreement that they would participate in the six-day hiking and rainfall tour. Later, when we actually arrived in Lijiang, we added two more students, and there were 15 people in our party. We arranged for the club to lead Yubeng's most experienced team leader, A Lang. Because parents are still worried about their children, we have been paying attention to their movements during the rain and reported to the parents as soon as possible. Although it was only a small team trip, our entire team still put in a lot of effort. After all, we are a group of young students who have just graduated from high school. Xiaofei was both the organizer and intermediate contact person during this trip, and he also received good training. Originally scheduled to train to Kunming in the afternoon, and then Kunming train to Lijiang. Unexpectedly, the train to Kunming would be more than 4 hours late, which directly caused the train from Kunming to Lijiang to be delayed. However, it had been made to leave directly for Yubeng the next morning. I had no choice but to buy a new bus ticket from Kunming to Lijiang. I arrived in Lijiang around 4 o'clock in the morning. I went to the station to pick them up and let them rest here and have breakfast. At 7:30 in the morning, I picked them up and joined the team leader. Although the process was a little tortuous, we finally started the six-day tour of Yubeng on time as expected.

Summary: This trip was a bit tortuous, but it finally ended their graduation trip smoothly and successfully. We have also gained a lot of valuable experience in arranging this trip. If we have another graduation trip for students in the future, I believe we will do better.

Example 4: A private enterprise in Beijing specially arranged a trip to Lijiang this year in order to reward outstanding employees. While playing, it also wanted to do some team development projects in Lijiang. The first batch of employees to Lijiang had 50 people, and the time was scheduled for 5 days. Brother Wang, the team leader in charge of this trip to Lijiang, found me online. After preliminary understanding, Brother Wang meant that he wanted to arrange more classic attractions for two to three days. The team would expand and arrange one day and leave one day for employees to do free activities. Of course, in terms of expenses, because the number of people is relatively large, we must avoid some waste and try to be affordable. We will handle all the accommodation, routes and expansion of the entire trip to Lijiang.

According to the actual situation of Brother Wang and his party of 50 people, we arranged the itinerary: pick up the plane in the afternoon of the first day, check into the hotel, and sign a travel contract. Because there are too many people, few inns in the ancient city can satisfy them. We arranged it in a three-star hotel close to the ancient city, which made it easier to get in and out of the ancient city. According to Brother Wang's request, we wanted to arrange the team's expansion at the forefront. According to the results of previous communication with Brother Wang, we chose the expansion venue in Lijiang Outdoor Park. The venue facilities were quite satisfactory. We invited Lijiang professional expansion trainers participated, and the whole process was orderly and completed smoothly. On the second and third days, we participated in our two-day pure fun tour of Shangri-La. Shangri-La was still relatively beautiful in July. Due to the large number of people, we arranged a 55-seat cart. Some minor problems that occurred during the entire trip were solved in a timely manner. After returning to Lijiang on the afternoon of the third day, everyone was quite tired. According to the previous arrangement, it should be free activities. Brother Wang and several other good friends asked me to recommend a more interesting bar in Lijiang. I took them to play together and it felt very good. The fourth day was also free time. I took friends who needed my help to visit the ancient city and found some affordable souvenirs. Because they were all working-class people, it would be inappropriate if they didn't buy some souvenirs to bring back to relatives and friends. On the fourth day of this, I sincerely bought the shopping guide. Overall, I am quite satisfied with this trip to Lijiang. There are several highlights and some tough problems that cannot be solved for the time being, such as the group meal during the Shangri-La itinerary. To be honest, prices in Shangri-La are already high, and all the same expenses may be better to eat in Lijiang. We do have some shortcomings in arranging this group trip. As Brother Wang said, let's make preparations for the next 50 people.

4. Choice of Lijiang Inn

There are thousands of inns in the ancient city, with prices ranging from tens to thousands of yuan. It is recommended to book in advance. You can book reservations on Taobao and major group buying websites. If you want to find a room after arriving, it is not impossible, but the ancient city of Lijiang is a stone road. Whether you are dragging a suitcase or carrying a big bag to find a place to live, it is very difficult. After booking a room, some inns can pick up the airport for free, but the pick-up fee is added to the room rate. The tourists pay for it themselves, and the wool comes from the sheep. If you stay for one night, you can pick up the airport for free, which means that the room rate is too high. If you stay for a few nights, you can pick up the airport for free, which means that the room rate has a slightly larger profit margin.

Generally, inns have wooden doors and windows. The sound insulation may not be perfect, but there is basically no big problem. Most of the inns are family-style inns, with warm and hospitable owners. Friends from all over the world get along like a family in an inn and can experience the warmth of home, which is unmatched by hotels.

Lijiang Inns are basically renovated from Naxi residential buildings, and most of them are wooden buildings with courtyards. However, I personally feel that Naxi architecture and Naxi culture are the core themes of Lijiang Inn. Those Mediterranean, European, Maldives, Japanese, Korean and other styles do not seem to be very compatible with Lijiang, even though Lijiang is a very inclusive city.

The peak tourist seasons in Lijiang are winter, summer and winter vacations and Golden Week. Don't complain about the rising house prices. The entire Gucheng Inn is like this, or all tourist cities across the country. Make sure to book in advance during the peak season, but don't be too greedy and book a cheap inn. It's either remote, poor facilities, or poor sanitation.

About the location of the inn

Around Sifang Street (core location, easy access, but close to Bar Street, with a large flow of people, expensive, noisy, and people who like the excitement can stay here)

Lion Mountain (A good view and a good place to view the entire ancient city. Some can watch the sunrise from the window. Tired up and down the mountains, inconvenient to get in and out)

Wuyi Street (There are many quiet bars and specialty shops on the street, with a petty bourgeoisie atmosphere. It is close to Sifang Street, making it easy to enter and exit, and it is quiet in the middle of the traffic).

Qiyi Street and Mufu area (the core edge area is quiet, and personally feel that this area is also very suitable)

South Gate area (easy access, most of them are newly built houses, lacking the unique atmosphere of Lijiang Ancient City)

Accommodation is cost-effective, mainly referring to price, extended services, etc. The mainstream price of Qianjia Inn in the ancient city ranges from 80 to 1,000 yuan. Additional services are an important criterion for measuring prices. Many inns talk about how much "free services" they have, which is also a major feature of Lijiang Inn. In fact, the so-called free services, including pick-up, breakfast, tea, fruits, even massage, foot bath, etc., are all added to the room rate. If you stay for ten and a half days and do not deliver free airport pickup or breakfast, don't be depressed. This shows that the room rate is indeed the real price. In addition, sound insulation, hygiene, quietness, location, etc. must also be taken into account. The stone road in the ancient city is a roller killer, so you must drag boxes. It is recommended to choose the inn at the junction of the ancient city and the new city, which is convenient for entry and exit and convenient for hauling boxes...

Finally, we include 8 tips for selecting Lijiang Inn. Lijiang Dianxing Outdoor once again wishes everyone to find a satisfactory inn.

1. Identification of authenticity of pictures on the Internet

Reason:

Before going to Lijiang, I looked at a Lijiang travel website, and the photos of the inn on it were very beautiful. When I arrived at the scene, the differences were very big. I went to several hotels, and I was very disappointed.

Crack:

a. Don't believe it if you only take close-ups or partial photos of the room. Many inns without courtyards only take pictures of flowers and plants, which feels beautiful. In fact, because the courtyards are very stingy, they can only take pictures of parts.

b. The rooms in many inns in Lijiang are very small, so taking photos often involves taking a pillow or a picture or something. It is best to ask for panoramic pictures.

c. The most popular inns on the travel website are all paid to the travel website for hype. Netizens 'comments are basically false, so pay attention to identifying them.

d. Take a look at these inns, including blogs, diaries, etc. written by tourists. Method: Search for the names of the inns on Baidu, and there will be blogs written by tourists, diaries, etc. The good or bad here cannot be achieved.

2. Promote the inn atmosphere as the selling point of the inn

Reason:

Some inns do not have any hard advantages, so in the end, they can only say that their inns are very interesting. As a result, the room conditions and the location of the inn were very poor.

Crack:

a. In fact, Lijiang Inns are basically run by people from other places who like Lijiang. Every inn is quite fun (the key is to get familiar with the inn's sister owner and not to treat yourself as an outsider)

b. Because all good inns in Lijiang have a courtyard, tourists who live in an inn can naturally make an appointment for chartered tours together. Therefore, chartering a car together for an inn is not an advantage for an inn. This is the case for every inn.

3. The inn takes you shopping

Reason:

Many inns will take you shopping, and the middle inn will have rebates

Crack:

a. Many inns make money not by accommodation, but by taking you shopping. So the house price will be very low, and then I will take you to buy silverware and jade. Don't follow, just make your own choice. Of course, you should listen to the reminder and introduction of the inn

b. Some inns focus on word of mouth and never take customers shopping. You only need to communicate with the innkeeper to understand the general market situation.

4. the rooms

Reason:

Lijiang Inn is basically a wooden institution, especially an old house, with two rooms separated by wooden boards. You can easily hear the affectionate sounds next door

Crack:

a. When booking a room, ask clearly what separates the two rooms. Make sure they are soundproof with brick walls or soundproof (based on my experience, inns under 100 yuan are basically made of wooden partitions)

5. Inn Location

Reason:

There are hundreds of inns in the ancient city of Lijiang. What kind of inns is better in location

Crack:

a. The ancient city is not open to traffic. If you can reach the door by car, I guess this inn is on the edge of the city and has convenient transportation, so you can enter the ancient city without bringing heavy things.

b. Don't stay in inns within 2 minutes walking to Sifang Street. Because it is too close to Bar Street, unless you don't want to sleep at night, the singing of Bar Street can disturb you at 2 a.m.

c. Don't stay in an inn that is too far away. There may be no street lights at night, and you will be afraid to walk.

d. Gucheng Road is very complicated, so it is best to live next to some landmark attractions. If you get lost, you can find the inn as long as you find the standard attractions.

6. Inn prices

Reason:

Inns in the ancient city of Lijiang range from 40 to 2000 yuan, and all have their own specific customers

Crack:

a. If the price range of different rooms in an inn is too large, you must not live in it, because the values of guests living in different rooms will be very different. It can easily cause conflicts.

b. If you have a certain financial foundation, don't expect a room for 40 yuan to meet your needs. If you can sell a room for 100 yuan, the innkeeper sells it for 40 yuan, there should be no such good thing.

c. I recommend staying in a room around 180. The accommodation doesn't need to be too good, but it affects sleep. If you get sick, you will be unhappy throughout the trip.

7. Lijiang Inn or Shuhe Inn

Reason:

Lijiang Ancient City and Shuhe are two ancient cities. There are many inns in both cities. Pay attention to distinguishing them.

Crack:

a. The advantages of the inn in the Ancient City of Lijiang: large scale, convenient transportation (if you want to visit many attractions, stay in the Ancient City of Lijiang), lively at night, and many programs. The environment is cleaner than Shuhe (Shuhe has more cow dung, so there are more flies and mosquitoes)

b. Shuhe has a more rural atmosphere and fewer tourists.

8. The courtyard of the inn

Reason:

In fact, before coming to Lijiang, I remembered that all the inns in Lijiang had a beautiful courtyard. In fact, many inns had small courtyards, and many even had no courtyards, so you must pay attention

Crack:

Ask the boss for a photo of the courtyard before booking. Don't check in if there is no courtyard. It's very depressing.

5. Lijiang Bar

Many people say that Lijiang is the "capital of love encounters". Everyone's feelings about each city are different, depending on how you look at yourself, others, and the city. If you don't want to have sex in Lijiang, then no one will force you; if you want to have sex, you can have sex no matter where you are, not just Lijiang.

Many people relax physically and mentally after coming to Lijiang. They feel that there are no longer all the constraints and estrangements of their city here, and everyone's mentality will be wonderfully consistent. Perhaps this is the reason why Lijiang is known as the capital of love encounters.

Lijiang's bars are very famous. Some people say that Lijiang's bars are the worst bars in the world, and others say that Lijiang's bars are the best bars in the world. People spend their lives in a drunken dream there every night, and find a completely different but possibly real self here.

Many people are reluctant to part with Lijiang. In addition to Lijiang's beautiful scenery and local customs, bars are also one of the reasons. You will never find the same bar in another place.

Bars in Lijiang mainly have "three major genres": the bar street on Xinhua Street, the static bar on Wuyi Street, and the "dining bar" that is 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. Most tourists like to go to the bar street because it is highly well-known, plays an affair card, and has high consumption. If it is brought by an inn, the rebate will be high. Even if the wine price is 1.2% off, the wine price is not much different from that in Beijing and Shanghai.

If you are a person who likes to hang out in bars and loves bar culture, then go and sit down. Bar lovers around the world unite to carry out the bar to the end.

People who live in Lijiang prefer to go to the bars on Wuyi Street, which are not very noisy and can hear some original songs by local singers. Drink some wine and chat with brothers from all over the world. The feeling is definitely something you will never experience in the hustle and bustle of the city.

This is another very distinctive bar in Lijiang, 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. A fire is built in the middle, and everyone can chat and listen to singing around the fire, or entertain themselves. Consumption is lower than that of a bar street, so it is called "Qing Bar".

Here, you can hear some original songs by local singers, sit down and drink some wine, and chat with brothers from all over the world. The feeling is definitely something you will never experience in the hustle and bustle of the city. The singers in these bars are basically singers who have worked in Lijiang for a long time. They are very talented and have a lot of personality. Such a bar is called Huotang Bar or Jingba in Lijiang. The consumption is slightly lower than that of Bar Street. Innkeepers or tourism workers who usually live in Lijiang can generally get a discount of 5% to 30% off. Anything higher than this discount means that you have earned your grandfather Mao. Of course, there will be no discount if you go yourself.

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."

When listening to "Naxi Ancient Music", you must first confirm whether it was hosted by Xuanke himself. Although the founder of Naxi Ancient Music is over 80 years old, he still often leads many of his brothers to tour various countries around the world and has a high reputation in the international music industry. This is also due to his ability to speak multiple languages and has a humorous hosting style.

Naxi ancient music is classical music widely spread among the Naxi people. Taoist ritual music, Confucian ritual music, and even Ci and Qupai music from the Tang, Song and Yuan Dynasties miraculously blended into the melody of Naxi ancient music, but formed a unique charm of Naxi folk music. This is a pure and ethereal charm. The Naxi Ancient Music Festival integrates ancient music, ancient musical instruments and long-lived artists. It is known as the rare "Three Treasures". Friends who like classical music must go and listen to it.

Performance venue: Gucheng East Street, there are performances at 20:00 every day.

"Lishui Jinsha" is a large-scale song and dance evening that expresses the customs of various ethnic minorities in Yunnan. It includes the Naxi club party, the Yi torch festival, the Mosuo people's walking marriage, and the sacrifice of love in pursuit of freedom. It is very shocking. Lishui Jinsha is divided into four venues: "Preface","Water","Mountain" and "Love", so it translates into Mountain.River Show in English.

The performance venue is at the Theater of the National Cultural Exchange Center, opposite Red Sun Square. It takes seven or eight minutes to turn right after exiting the ancient city entrance.

There are performances at 19:30 every day, and additional performances will be added during the peak tourist season.

6. Lijiang cuisine

Crossing the bridge rice noodles: Although it is not a specialty of Lijiang, the sour taste of this place is authentic. Don't eat in the ancient city, go to Fuhui Road, the "Qiaozhiqing" authentic Mengzi Bridge Rice Noodle Restaurant in front of the "Lijiang Hotel".

Chicken bean jelly: In the alley, it is made by Aunt Naxi and Old Lady. It is fried or salad, whatever you like. If you are lucky enough to find "Shigu jelly", then you are rich. It is the best kind!

Candied fruit: In an alley past Baisui Bridge, there is a very small and remote door. You can smell a very strong sweet aroma from far away. It is made of white fungus candied fruit, eggplant candied fruit, and green peppers. A very kind Naxi old couple is selling it, this is the only one!

Lijiang Baba: "I'm afraid Lijiang is the only one who can fry Baba in an oil pan into a romantic atmosphere!" Lijiang Baba is a unique snack of the Naxi people. It has a long history. The main raw material for its production is the local unique refined wheat flour. Coupled with ham, lard, sugar and other seasonings, mix it evenly and knead it into layers. Make a round cake about the size of a plate and about an inch thick, and then roast it on a pan with slow fire. This is the most famous specialty snack in Lijiang. I think you should try it.

Sour plum soup: It is 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. In the ancient city of Lijiang, the taste of October Sour Plum Soup Shop is more authentic. The store is located in Wenzhi Lane, Wuyi Street.

Pork ribs, hot pot, in Xiangshan Market. Typical Naxi flavor, sufficient pot bottom and delicious pork ribs are very tempting. There is also a taste of stewed cake.

Wild mushroom hot pot, Huama Street. Add mushroom, chicken brown, boletus, green head fungus and other fungi to the black-chicken soup and stew for 20 minutes before you can eat it. Be sure to drink soup. (It's simply torture. I can't eat it while looking at a pot of delicious food, and I have to endure the fragrance that comes over from time to time...) The price is not cheap.

Black goats with skin, hot pot, take a taxi to Jinkai Square, where there are all streets, and every family's sign says the first one. It's right to pick the ones with more people to go in, haha... Lijiang specialty cuisine, it is said that the black goats used are raised on the mountains. After special processing, they taste no mutton smell at all. The mutton with skin is very tough and has a certain nourishing effect, which is deeply loved by local people. "Sky dragon meat, underground donkey meat" Most black goat shops sell donkey meat at the same time, and it is also very good to buy a pound of donkey meat. The price is moderate and the meal time will be lively.

Ludian local chicken, hot pot, tobacco community. I dare say that not many people know about this store whose company commander lives in Lijiang. First of all, it is in a community, and the road outside that community is very quiet, so it is difficult to find such a store. I was also taken to eat by a friend. The reason he knew was that another friend lived in this community. Almost all the people who go to eat are locals or families who live in the community and do not want to cook. Authentic local chicken, the soup is delicious and the chicken is tender. Very delicious. The price is not expensive, but the place is not easy to find. When you arrive at the entrance of the community, pay attention to the signs hanging at the door.

Tai 'an Potato Chicken, Hot Pot, next to the Huama Street Turntable. It is said that local chickens raised by farmers in the Qihe Mountains of Lijiang are used as raw materials. The free and open stocking method makes the chicken delicious, smooth, tender, crispy and delicious, and have an excellent taste. Both chicken nuggets and potatoes are fragrant and soft, especially soup. It is so delicious. The price is moderate, so there will be no place if you go late.

Caodun Tilapia, Hot Pot, Qixing 1st Street (near the back wall of Guanghui Hotel). Tilapia is also known as Fushou fish, and also known as African carp. The soup is delicious and the fish is tender. Very popular and frequented by locals. Everyone sat on a short grass mop to eat. Maybe this is the origin of the store's name. As soon as I entered, the aroma was overflowing, especially the pepper flavor of the spicy pot. It couldn't come out when it entered my nose. Clear stew soup has a milky white and mellow base, and there is a layer of yellow chicken oil, which is irresistible. The price is not expensive and the environment is average.

Salmon (rainbow trout): There are several good ones on Huama Street. The salmon in Lijiang should actually be called rainbow trout. It is quite delicious and cannot be missed. Many people have eaten rainbow trout, but not many people have eaten fresh rainbow trout, right? Lijiang has the largest rainbow trout breeding base in the country. The glacier meltwater at the foot of the snowy mountains is particularly suitable for breeding rainbow trout, both in terms of water quality and water temperature, and the fish fry were introduced from Norway. The meat of live rainbow trout is particularly delicious and tender, which is completely different from the taste of frozen food that everyone usually eats. Moreover, the price is low. It is killed and cooked right now, eating one fish three times, making fish bones soup, frying fish skin, making sashimi. Dining environment: High-end restaurant.

7. Shopping Guide

As an important town on the ancient tea-horse road, Lijiang has been a trade center since ancient times. Lijiang is all the good things from south to north. It depends on whether you can find them. Countless people think Lijiang is a peaceful and simple town, thinking that Lijiang is too commercial now. In fact, it is not. Historically, it was a trade distribution center. In today's terms, it is a big supermarket. There are three categories of specialties that I personally think are worth buying in Lijiang: one category is valuable; the other category is relatively cheap souvenirs; and the other category is foodies.

1. Precious types: jade, silverware, tea, Spirulina, Lijiang Maca

1. Let's talk about jade first: There is no doubt that Lijiang has good jade. Whether during the ancient tea-horse road or now, Lijiang is an important trade center in northwest Yunnan. Lijiang people love jade as much as their lives. Jade culture has penetrated into the spinal cord of Lijiang culture. Wearing jade and jade is very popular in Lijiang. It is not difficult for us to discover Lijiang people's love for jade from the place names of Lijiang, such as Yulong Snow Mountain, Yushui Village, Yulong County, Yuhe River, Yuhu Village, etc. Countless good jades come from all over Lijiang continuously. But my personal advice is that if you don't understand jade, try not to buy jade. They say that gold and silver are valuable and jade is priceless. My understanding is that since jade is priceless, you can ask for exorbitant prices. If you really like jade, then here I recommend several larger jewelry and jade stores. Personally, I suggest buying valuables in larger shopping malls. The store depends on the shopkeeper's mouth. Lijiang's relatively large jade cities include the Dian-Burmese Jade City in Shuhe, which is the same as Kunming's Colorful Yunnan. Colorful Yunnan is the largest shopping store in Yunnan. The quality of the things here is generally no problem. The only flaw is that the price is too high. If you have enough money and don't have thirty to fifty thousand yuan, you can go straight here. There is a Sifang Jewelry store in the ancient city of Lijiang that is not small in scale, similar to the Yunnan-Myanmar Jade City. It is located in the ancient city's rent, and various expenses are bound to be higher than those of ordinary shops, so high prices are inevitable. There is also a jewelry store for sightseeing in Xincheng, and the quality and price of this one are relatively impressive. Ordinary people can bring thousands or thousands of jade to consume it, and sell it when they see the jade they like.

2. Let's talk about silverware: Lijiang people have the habit of carrying snowflake silver. Lijiang is a paradise for men and a world for women. Men operate: piano, chess, books, paintings, cigarettes, wine, tea, hawk, walking dogs, and raising orchids to create spiritual civilization; women: go to the fields, build houses, and give birth to babies;NND, I have been in Lijiang for 8 years, but I haven't learned piano, chess, calligraphy, and calligraphy, but I have learned to perfection in tobacco, alcohol and tea. Speaking of which, women can easily get rheumatism when working outside, and bringing snowflake silver can prevent rheumatism. Therefore, many people in Lijiang now bring snowflake silver. Of course, there are too many people buying silverware in the ancient city. Many small shops are now very irresponsible to sell fake silverware. Even those stores with the signboards of "century-old shops" and "silverware family" and "fine ten thousand yuan for fake products" are not discussed. If you really need it, you can go to Baisuifang Silverware Store in Lijiang or Lijiang National Jewelry Factory (this is one of the few state-owned enterprises in Lijiang, and the quality is questionable). This place has clearly marked prices, the price of silver has increased, and the finished products have also increased.

3. Tea: Li

Pu 'er tea is milder than other teas. It warms the stomach without hurting the stomach, and can also lower blood lipids. The elderly are more suitable for drinking Pu' er tea because Pu 'er can promote gastrointestinal peristalsis and digestion. Nowadays, the best tea ingredients are basically pressed cake tea.

Personally, I suggest that you can buy Pu 'er tea and compare it more. Tourists who don't know much about tea should not buy tea that is too expensive.

4. Spirulina: Speaking of Spirulina in Lijiang, it should be famous at home and abroad. There are three places in the world that can produce natural Spirulina. It is said that only Chenghai Lake in Lijiang can produce it now. Lijiang Spirulina Market can also be said to be a mixed mixture of good and bad, with all kinds of brands. Black-hearted manufacturers use all kinds of fake products to deceive us. Based on our many years of experience in Lijiang, we can tell you that the Spirulina brands made in Lijiang include Green A (the most expensive and expensive price), Chenghai Lake (there are too many called Chenghai Lake, which is easy to confuse), Maiduo (the headquarters is in the same place as Green A, and the quality is also good), and I won't mention the others, there are dozens of brands. After saying that, you will probably faint. The strategy I wrote is as verbose as Tang Priest. The above three brands are sold on Taobao. If you think the price is high, we can still get you authentic Spirulina at the same discount.

5. Lijiang Maca: What is a Maca? Maka is a sacred thing! Men can't stand it if they eat it, women can't stand it if they eat it, men can't stand it if they eat it together, and if they grow too much, they can't stand it. But Maca is not an aphrodisiac, not Viagra! Lijiang Maca was introduced from Peru. The alpine and frozen area of northwest Yunnan and Yunnan with an altitude of more than 3000 meters above sea level is the best planting area for maca. It has the location advantages of high altitude and low latitude, as well as traditional farming culture, planting management, and the degree of refinement of production is also much higher than that of its origin in the Andes Mountains of South America. Lijiang Maca completely reaches or even exceeds the quality of its origin. Lijiang area is the only base in China that can provide maka raw materials. Of course, the effect of maca is not only to enhance sexual function, but also to enhance health care and enhance physical fitness. Relieving stress has a significant effect on maintaining physical strength and delaying menopause.

2. Cheap souvenirs:

There are too many such things, ranging from a few yuan to tens of hundreds. It is recommended to buy these small things in a more remote store in the ancient city. The rent is low, so the price is naturally low. It would be better if you could find a wholesale and retail one. It's easy to find, just walk up Wuyi Street and Qiyi Street. Just buy shawls, small wood carvings, and all kinds of creative trinkets!

3. Food category:

I don't dare to say that we are the best at delicious food in Lijiang. However, there are not many things you can take away when you come to Lijiang. So I suggest it's better to eat it in the stomach and save on shipping costs. Yak meat, preserved fruits, candied fruits, and preserved ribs can all be taken home to taste with relatives and friends. There are also many yak meat shops large and small in the ancient city. My suggestion is to buy regular shops for food, at least in terms of health and safety. The larger yak meat specialty stores include Dongba yak meat and Pangjinmei yak meat.

8. Secrets to an affair

Lijiang has a mysterious air and soil that promotes love hormones. The plateau makes people passionate. Because of the lack of oxygen, people are dizzy, which reduces the sobriety and calculation in many cities. Coupled with snowy mountains, blue skies, white clouds, flowing water, and fragrant flowers, people enter Lijiang, like entering a love paradise. For love, Lijiang is like a dream, but it is also a reality that can be experienced.

Lijiang Ancient City Bar Street is also an excellent place to meet people. A small river, ancient buildings on both sides, red lanterns, a bright moon, tourists from all directions and various romantic bars, this is the busiest place in the ancient city at night. The strong atmosphere of the ancient city mixed with fashionable and modern trends stimulates the sensory nerves of almost every tourist. When they are in it, they start to feel dizzy and become obsessed, and all good things happen... The atmosphere created by silk and bamboo in the bar, the dazzling lights, the dark red and warm cocktails... That's just the romantic background. The eyes of men and women twinkle, charming and inexplicable smiles, an action, a dialogue, and the air is filled with ambiguity. This is just the beginning of a beautiful encounter...

Role booking:

As the parties involved in an affair, one of them must be very good at deceiving and requires talents, ranging from astronomy and geography, humanistic history, religious traditions, international and domestic current politics, and this year's economic trend... As small as the making of Naxi harrows in Lijiang, the meaning of Naxi characters, and Lijiang is like his or her own home. The other party is subjectively willing to be deceived, has no doubt about what the other party is saying, deeply admires the other party's opinions, and elevates the making of Lijiang harrows to the level of making Italian pies...

The man should pay attention to the following characteristics: the gender is male; the age is unlimited. Determine whether he is suitable according to the other person's age. At least he should wear clothes and pants, and he must be famous brand (it can also be fake, which cannot be seen at night). It is best to grow a beard on his face. If there is really no one, it is a problem of natural conditions, so it is recommended to make his hair look like a chicken nest that is popular now. Don't wear sunglasses at night. The woman probably won't be interested in men with vision impairment.

Women should pay attention to the following characteristics: the gender is female; the age is unlimited. Whether they are suitable or not depends on the age of the other person. It doesn't matter whether they dress revealing or not, but they must have a Lijiang "city dress" ethnic style shawl. Sit alone at one end (2-3 people can also), the body is slightly S-curve, the posture is elegant, the body is graceful, the body does not move, and the eyes secretly scan like a 360-degree loop to get more information.

All preparations have been made, and the next step is how I encountered this problem. The wisdom of mankind is great, and the wisdom of the Chinese is even more outstanding. Countless versions of this problem are being staged and countless classics are being interpreted, which is roughly as follows:

Basic qualities:

Healthy, tanned skin, looking sunny, must have your own unique temperament, even if you are quietly reading or surfing the Internet, someone will notice you.

Self-confidence, find the most authentic and charming appearance in front of the mirror but not pretentious, such as the smiling expression, the lethality of the eyes, remember not to float around, and the kind that points directly to the hearts of the people.

Humor, reserve more hot and cold jokes at ordinary times and tell them one by one at critical moments, which can not only warm up the atmosphere, but also catalyze feelings. Remember to better be lacking than lacking.

Add points, mastering fluent English or knowing a little French will be even more powerful.

Achieving the above points is half the success. Especially girls. If they want to be met by foreigners, they must be Chinese, but they must be international. It doesn't matter if they are not black enough. They just need to be cheerful and confident enough. Don't see, many girls who are admired by foreigners are basically two extremes: very beautiful, very international, or plain or even not beautiful. But they all have one thing in common, that is, they must be cheerful when they laugh and healthy in their eyes.

Manufacturing opportunities:

When you travel by plane or train, don't rush to buy a ticket or check in. When you meet a handsome guy or beautiful woman you like, hurry up. Ask the other party to help you or take the initiative to help the other party handle it. This way, we can naturally sit together. As for future development, it depends on whether you can talk about the topic. And you can move and retreat freely. When you feel better, keep up your efforts. I don't feel good, so I'm in a hurry to change seats.

find a companion

Before leaving, you can post your plan on the bulletin board of the bar where travelers gather or youth hostels and inns, stating your plan and gender. Publicly explain your specific situation and you need to recruit companions to walk a certain route together. Leave your mobile phone number and explain that you will not answer any calls and only receive text messages. Make an appointment where to meet and discuss your plans. If you feel good, go together, so that you will have more opportunities to get in touch with each other on the way. If you feel bad, you will refuse with various excuses. When using this method, women still need to be more cautious.

Waiting for the rabbit:

This method is especially suitable for women. When you arrive at your destination, you have to calm down. Sit in the afternoon sun, put on a big scarf, and hold a book in your hand, whether it is in English or Spanish, whether it is upright or upside down. Anyway, if you want to read it, your heart must be open and your eyes should not move around, but you should pay attention to whether there is a handsome guy you like in the past, and also let the handsome guy notice your attention to him. Basically, you can wait for the handsome guy to come to the door. However, this method of meeting handsome guys who come in love mostly focuses on appearance. Don't be greedy for his connotation. Fangzheng's sunshine is still shining all afternoon, and your mood is also bright.

Ask for help:

When you meet a handsome guy or beautiful woman you like, and he or she happens to be in the same place as you, you can run forward and say,"Sorry, can you take a photo for me?" Or: "Sorry, can you buy me a ticket?" The most common saying is: "How can I get there? Can you take me there?" There will naturally be opportunities to get familiar with or avoid them on the road.

Bar Encounter:

This method is mainly aimed at male compatriots. First of all, you need to find a buddy to go with you. First, you need courage. Secondly, it is very important to have help in case anything happens. Third, China is not like a foreign country. If you sit there alone and look around, you will be a pervert at first glance. If it is so obvious, you will be resisted by beautiful women and laughed at by others. But there should be no more people. If there are too many people, it will be troublesome, and others may steal the limelight.

When entering the bar, first observe the situation. Although the light is very dark, it is also ambiguous. Without this light, no story will happen. Observe where there are beautiful women, or estimate where they will appear, and then sit down. Sometimes this observation may take several nights, so be patient.

Generally speaking, you can't go to a corner. Usually, there are no beautiful women there. Even if there are, they are angels who fall face to the ground. Beautiful women are always more unrestrained, and the lively dance floor is always the center of their life. Therefore, try to sit in the center when you don't notice it for the time being. To stay away from your competitors, it's best to separate a table or two, then buy a half-pack of beer, and quietly wait for beautiful women to come and sit on the tables around you. Don't wander around. If you and your buddies will walk to Lhasa tomorrow, try to look MAN, so your charm value will increase.

If you are sitting at the bar and see a beautiful woman, you must decisively rush to sit next to you. Don't hesitate or be embarrassed. The opportunity will pass in a moment. If you don't sit, there will definitely be a substitute within a minute. Don't worry about the silly kid next to her. He may just come over, despise him, despise him, and pretend he doesn't exist. If she comes while you're finishing a six-pack of beers, it's a heaven made opportunity. Drinking some beer will basically eliminate most of your nervousness and half of your timidity. At this time, don't hesitate to go up and chat up.

About chatting up:

When traveling in Lijiang, you can have 100,000 "why" topics. "Excuse me. Have you just arrived in Lijiang?" "Excuse me, where did you buy this beautiful cape you are wearing?"... Although such things are old-fashioned, they are by no means outdated. If there are already a few people around you who are having fun while you are playing, you can just go over and say,"Let's go together?" You don't need to think deeply and worry about how to speak. In short, you should have thick skin and courage.

After you get to know each other, don't just ask questions about this and that as soon as you go up, and don't brag about how handsome you are from the beginning, how rich you are and how cultured you are. Lijiang has nothing to do with this. The best way to communicate is still communication about travel. The enthusiasm of the opposite sex will warm every traveler who cannot distinguish things. Taste jam made with local honey and fragrant wine, admire the blue stone road, small bridge and flowing water outside the window, share interesting stories about travel with a likable person, and experience the feeling of falling in love...... How pleasant a trip like this. A master must play this realm.

Mental Code:

In a strange place and meeting strangers, a beautiful encounter is always given a romantic color. Although these romantic encounters are wonderful and worthy of the "yearning" of the donkeys who love traveling, they can actually encounter them but cannot ask for them. To put it bluntly, it still depends on whether you have the fate and what attitude you use to treat the opposite sex during travel."A glimpse"

Leave all your troubles in the city. Forget endless work, tangled emotions, soaring housing prices and fluctuating stocks. You don't need to follow a group or prepare a lot of money to come to Lijiang. You just need to bring a simple and normal heart to discover and meet more infinite possibilities.

Don't treat sex as important. Some people believe that meeting the right person is an affair, and some people think that falling in love with the stone road and green plum wine in the ancient town is also an affair.

You have to give yourself a nice name. If you meet someone in a dream cafe and openly introduce yourself as Wang Dacai or Li Chunhua, it will definitely be a disaster.

You must prepare for a skill. In Huotang in Lijiang, new friends have to introduce themselves and perform programs. If you can sing "Qinghai-Tibet Plateau" or dance, it will be great. If you can't, if you are bold enough, everyone will cheer for you.

Have your own hobby. Don't be foolish enough to say that your hobbies are just surfing the Internet, and that everything you say has to be related to photography, painting, poetry, or music. Be more eccentric and say that you like collecting beer cans or raising frogs. Don't let others think you are a boring egg with no interest.

Don't say that you left after two days. Lijiang is a place that needs to slow down and experience it well. Such a rush will only make Lijiang people feel that you have no respect for every plant or tree, and it will also make people who have beautiful fantasies about you discouraged.

Understand Lijiang's code words. When people in Lijiang meet or make a phone call, the first sentence is: "What's the situation?" It means whether the other party is engaging in any sexual encounter, and if he is not immediately dragged over to drink and sing.

Understand that it is normal for someone to be late for a date. In Lijiang, people have no concept of time. Judging from the position of the sun, the error is 90 minutes. Moreover, people do not wear watches and do not care about several points. Here, there is only today, no yesterday or tomorrow.

Realistic equipment

Bring enough clothes. Locals say that three sets of clothes should be prepared a day in Lijiang, because even in summer, the temperature difference between day and night in Lijiang is very large, so it is best to bring thick clothes that are easy to wear. You can also buy a shawl, and you can choose new water for 15 yuan.

Prepare a pair of comfortable shoes. Thin high heels are incompatible with hard bluestone boards, especially in Shuhe, if you accidentally step on round horse dung or walk into a green vegetable field.

You must be prepared to get lost at any time to feel fresh. Don't worry after getting lost. As long as you go against the clear flow like a small fish in the river, you will definitely return to Sifang Street in the center of the ancient town.

If you want to eat authentic Lijiang snacks, don't sleep in. The Lijiang harrows, chicken bean jelly, braised chicken feet, cold rice noodles, and the soybean noodles from Dashiqiao Bridge in Dayan Ancient Town were sold out. Also try Lijiang's Fenghua Xueyue Beer, Yunnan Arabica Coffee, and rainbow trout created by the constant snow water all year round.

If it is too boring to bask in the sun, be in a daze, or doze off during the day, you can consider doodling on the message board, taking photos, sketching, riding bicycles, flying eagles, attending stove parties, or shopping for music. In Lijiang's music Huotang, Shuhe's music Thangka, you can find non-mainstream music from all over the world.

As mentioned above, Lijiang's affair is fundamentally an affair. Although it is a high-tech job, its popularity rate is relatively high and it has the potential to start a prairie fire.

When you come to Lijiang, be sure to bring your secret book for romance, familiarize yourself with the spiritual rules, and prepare your realistic equipment.

9. Summary of common problems

1. Lijiang's climate?

The average temperature in Lijiang's hottest month is 18.1-25.7 ℃, and the average temperature in the coldest month is 4--11.7℃. Spring and autumn are connected, and Changchun has no summer, forming obvious dry and wet seasons. The average annual rainfall is about 1000 mm. June-September is the rainy season, with rainfall accounting for more than 85% of the whole year. Rainwater is particularly concentrated in July and August. The sun has strong radiation, the annual sunshine hours are 2530 hours, and the light energy is sufficient, so sun protection measures need to be taken.

The best sun protection measure is not to apply sunscreen, but to block it. A brimmed hat, sunglasses, and a facial towel (or replace it with a scarf or shawl) are a must-have.

2. When is the rainy season in Lijiang? Does it rain every day during the rainy season?

Rainwater in Lijiang is concentrated in July and August. It generally does not exceed 28 degrees during the day and more than 10 degrees at night. Sometimes an electric blanket is turned on. Lijiang does not rain heavily every day during the rainy season, but the probability of rain is relatively high. Even if it rains, it will not rain all day. It often stops for a while, or it will clear up for a while, so Lijiang's rainy season has little impact on tourism.

However, when it rains in Yunnan, winter begins, and you need to wear thick clothes. Remember to bring a thick coat even in the dog days.

Roads on Lugu Lake and Meili Snow Mountain may collapse during the rainy season, but other scenic spots will have no impact.

3. Is it easy to have altitude sickness when going to Lijiang?

Lijiang is 2400 meters above sea level, so you don't have to worry too much about altitude reaction. As long as you don't exercise violently on the day you arrive in Lijiang, there will generally be no big problem. If you want to go to Shangri-La or high-altitude attractions above 3,000 meters, it is recommended to adapt to it in Lijiang for a few more days.

Tourists who fly directly to Shangri-La have a very high chance of having high reactions and are strongly not recommended.

4. What clothes are best to bring when going to Lijiang?

No matter what season, Lijiang is always cold in the morning and evening and hot at noon; it is cold in the rain and hot in the clear. In addition to bringing down jackets and thick sweaters in winter, you should bring thick coats and thin sweaters in other seasons, even on the dog days.

5. How much is the maintenance fee for the ancient city? Can I escape? Can I get discounts with ID?

The ancient city maintenance fee is 80 yuan, which can be paid once. It is collected by the government for daily protection, repair and related expenses to maintain the ancient city. If you don't go to Yulong Snow Mountain, Wangu Tower, and Black Dragon Pool, you don't have to buy it. Over 70 years old and under 6 years old are exempt from ancient city maintenance fees.

However, many inns in Dayan will require guests to buy ancient wei fees. The inns also collect them voluntarily, and the superiors conduct strict inspections. The inns in Shuhe were not strictly inspected, and most of them were not forced to buy Guwei fees.

6. Is the new city close to the ancient city?

Very close. The ancient city has no walls. Outside the ancient city is a new city, across the street.

7. What season is the best to go to Shangri-La?

June to August is the best season to go to Shangri-La. Gesang flowers bloom and the meadows are evergreen. You can appreciate "the place where the sun first shines is Jiantang in the east, and the most unique place in the world is Shangri-La on the bank of the Taizi River." The artistic conception of this sentence.

The ideal season to go to Meili Snow Mountain is winter and spring from October to May. The best season is from the end of December to the end of February. The weather is sunny, the air is clean, the transparency is high, the view is excellent, and the main peak can often be seen.

8. Is the ultraviolet rays in Lijiang very strong? Is the climate relatively dry?

Yes, even during the rainy season, your skin can peel, so be sure to bring sunglasses and sunscreen. Girls should also bring moisturizing essence and facial mask. Drink plenty of water and don't forget to replenish water for your skin after taking a bath.

9. Where should I go if I get sick in Lijiang?

The large hospitals closer to the ancient city are Lijiang People's Hospital and Ancient City Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital. There is a branch of a traditional Chinese medicine hospital near Dashiqiao in the ancient city. Generally, people with headaches and fever can go there.

Okay, the self-help tour in Lijiang has come to an end. It really consumed a lot of my brain cells. In terms of content, I collected some of the strategies of others that I recognize. Most of them are my family's words. I hope they will be helpful to friends who want to come to Lijiang, provided that you must be patient and finish it.
