Yunnan is a magical place. Among the many tourist cities in the country, I only have a special liking for Yunnan. This is my third trip to Yunnan. This time, I checked in to many attractions that I had not visited in the previous two times, and I also gained new experiences and gains, and my love for Yunnan has reached a higher level. I feel that Yunnan is still a place that I look forward to coming again in the future.

Traffic problems during the trip

Simply put, the transportation method during the trip is simple. Because it is a solo trip, buses are basically used for major transportation.

1. Lijiang Airport--Lijiang Ancient City, you can directly choose the airport bus. It is easy to find a ticket sales place from the airport. It is 20 yuan per person. Get off directly at the Lantian Hotel. It is about 3 kilometers away from the ancient city. The starting price is a taxi. If there are many people, you can also take a taxi, which is about 100 yuan, or you can get a taxi from the innkeeper you booked, which is relatively cheaper, about 80 yuan.

2. It is a long journey from the ancient city to Laojun Mountain. It is recommended to charter a car. It takes about 2.5 hours one way.

3. In the ancient city-Lashihai Wetland Park, there is basically only one way to take a taxi.

4. Lijiang-Shangri-La, buy tickets directly from Lijiang Passenger Station to Shangri-La Passenger Station. The ticket is about 70 yuan (there is a difference of about 5 yuan for different trains) to Shangri-La Passenger Station and then take a taxi to the ancient city is also the starting price.

5. It is only a few kilometers away from the ancient city of Shangri-La to the Panahai Grassland by taxi, which is very convenient.

6. The ancient city of Shangri-La is also very close to the airport and can be reached directly by taxi.

It is very convenient to use Didi to hail a taxi in Lijiang and Shangri-La. It is also very easy to get a ride to popular attractions, which can save a lot of costs. Everyone can try more.

Dayan flower Lane

The first stop was Lijiang. The plane landed half an hour early. I felt that my character was amazing, the weather was so good that it was explosive, and the sky was completely blue and white. I immediately took the airport bus directly to the Ancient City of Lijiang to check in at the inn booked in advance. After a brief rest, we will start visiting the ancient city.

The Ancient City of Lijiang is an ancient city with flavor and story. There are currently many ancient cities in China. This is one of my favorite ancient cities. Many people complain that the commercialization of the Ancient City of Lijiang is too heavy, but in my opinion, this is not a problem. Commercialization will only make it more convenient for tourists to eat, stay and travel. The connotation and culture of the ancient city still need to be experienced with their own heart.

This time I discovered a new landmark in the ancient city of Lijiang, Dayanhua Lane. After walking around here, I found that this place is simply a microcosm of the ancient city. I feel that Hesifang Street can become a symbol of the ancient city of Lijiang. In Dayanhua Lane, you can climb the Eye of Lijiang and overlook the entire ancient city. You can taste authentic Lijiang food and experience Lijiang culture. At night, you can also listen to Lijiang's folk music and taste the newly produced Meet Lijiang craft beer in the Folk Song Square. It can be said that if you don't have the strength to visit the entire ancient city, it is also a good choice to have a good stroll in Dayanhua Lane.

Finding this brand makes it easy to find some famous restaurants and landmarks in Dayanhua Lane, such as the Eye of Lijiang.

This is the scenery from the Eye of Lijiang Observation Deck. The scenery is beautiful during the day and at night. The place where the lights are lit up is the folk song square. When you are tired from walking at night, sit here with your friends, enjoy Lijiang folk songs, and taste and meet Lijiang craft beer., a great experience.

The folk square behind the scenes is very lively.

I basically spent the first night in Lijiang in Dayanhua Lane, so I met the famous horse gang dish here and had dinner. It was not very expensive, the dish was large, but it was relatively affordable. You should eat well within 100 yuan per person.

The decoration inside the hotel is still very distinctive. Being in it is like returning to the war-torn Jianghu. The hotel is really named well.

Chicken bean jelly is perfect with Lijiang craft beer.

The preserved pork ribs hot pot still needs to be seriously recommended.

laojunshan

On the second day of the trip, I arranged a visit to the Laojun Mountain Scenic Area. I had come twice before but had never been here, so I went specially this time. It feels good. It is a mature scenic spot, complete and convenient in all aspects. You can stay here for one night if conditions and time permit. The tent hotel here looks great. It would be even more perfect if I could see the sea of clouds.

It was already past seven o'clock in the evening when I returned to the ancient city from Laojun Mountain. As I walked, I came to Dayanhua Lane and saw a restaurant with a funny name called "Lao Wang Next Door", so I ate here.

Maybe the location here is so good. At the entrance of the alley where Lijiang Square is met, business is booming. It took half an hour to have a seat for dinner.

When the weather is good, you can sit along the street and eat and view the scenery. Overall, the restaurant has a moderate quantity of dishes, and the cuisine also covers local specialties and home-style choices, which will definitely satisfy your taste.

Lashihai Wetland Park

Because I planned to go to Shangri-La on the same day, I chose a scenic spot that can be used for half a day, which is Lashihai. In fact, I had heard of Lashihai when I first came here ten years ago, but I had never been there. This time, I made up for this attraction. Many people think that Lashihai is an ancient tea-horse road. Horse riding, but in fact, they don't have to ride horses. It's also a good choice to go directly to Lashihai Wetland Park to play.

Let's first take a map of Lashihai Wetland Park for your reference.

The beautiful scenery I saw walking on the plank road by the lake on sunny days still surprised me. The blue sky, white clouds and lake water formed a beautiful picture.

When encountering this kind of picture where reflections could be taken, I couldn't help but take out my camera and keep taking pictures.

Walking along the plank road to the end, you will find that there is also an Internet celebrity photo shoot site known as the Land of the Sky. When the weather is good, the film release effect is still very good, and you don't need to bring your own clothes. There are many clothes here to choose from, regardless of whether boys or girls can take good photos.

Another advantage of Lashihai is that it can fly drones. Flying restrictions are limited in the ancient city of Lijiang.

It was already noon when I returned to the ancient city from Lashihai, and I immediately went to the passenger terminal to buy a ticket to the next sacred destination, Shangri-La.

Shangri-La 5th Meteorite Lightyear Hotel

Let's first let's talk about the hotel I stayed in Shangri-La for two days. It is this Internet celebrity hotel located in Dukezonghua Lane at the entrance of the ancient city of Shangri-La: the 5th Meteorite Light Year Hotel. A real meteorite is displayed in the lobby, which is also the reason why the hotel got its name. In addition to its very good location and impressive hardware, the biggest feature of this hotel is that each room has an oxygen system, which can be provided 24 hours a day in the room, which greatly alleviates the risk of high reactions when playing on the plateau. This advantage is indeed not available to ordinary inns, so I highly recommend everyone to stay here.

Duke zonghua Lane

I found Dukezonghua Lane at the entrance of the ancient city of Shangri-La. When I walked in, I found that it was a reduced version of the ancient city of Shangri-La. The entire interior is exactly the same style as the ancient city. Moreover, hotels, catering, entertainment and other facilities are gathered in the flower lane. It can be said that the design is very comprehensive. It is no exaggeration to say that you can fully experience the charm of the ancient city of Shangri-La in Dukezonghua Lane.

Dukezonghua Lane can experience China's intangible cultural heritage. Under the leadership of the teacher, the black pottery project also made the first black pottery work of life. The teacher said that it would be mailed to me after firing. I am very looking forward to it.

The fourth day's itinerary was relatively casual, and we visited Guishan Park and Panahai Grassland in the ancient city.

Guishan Park

It is easy to find the sign of Guishan Park when you stroll around the ancient city of Shangri-La. This is not too big a park and does not require a ticket, but it is worth visiting the panoramic view of the entire ancient city. Moreover, there is a large prayer wheel here. Remember to turn odd times so you can pray piously.

Panahai Grassland

I had never heard of grassland here before when I came to Shangri-La, so I really wanted to visit it. It is not very far from the ancient city, and it can be reached by taxi or five kilometers.

The entire Panahai Grassland is very large, and we only saw part of it when we arrived. The biggest difference between the grassland here and the grassland in Inner Mongolia is that the grassland and wetland are together. That is, when the weather is clear, you can see it on the grassland. Looking at the reflection of the sky and white clouds, the scenery is really beautiful.

Meteorite Restaurant

After finishing the day's trip, I returned to the Meteorite Lightyear Hotel and had dinner directly at the hotel's Meteorite Restaurant. I recommended the hot pot here. The taste was still great. The temperature in Shangri-La at night in October was already relatively low, so it was still very comfortable to have a hot pot.

At this point, the five-day and four-night trip from Lijiang-Shangri-La ended. I experienced attractions I had never experienced before and ate delicious food I had never tasted before. I still have a lingering recollection of this trip. Although there are still some places that have not been visited due to time constraints, I think this is the charm of travel and a reason to come to Yunnan next time.
