Kunming, Dali, Lijiang, and Xishuangbanna in Yunnan are far away. Kunming is relatively not very outstanding. After comprehensive consideration, we gave up Dali and Xishuangbanna and chose to play around Lijiang. The advantage of this itinerary is that the places to visit are relatively concentrated, which can reduce the time wasted on the trip. Unfortunately, I didn't have time to go to Shangri-La.

Day 1 On No. 10, Shuhe Ancient Town, my friend and I took a flight from Kunming to Lijiang at 7:10. We arrived at Sanyi Airport at 8:00. We took the airport bus (20 yuan/person) from Sanyi Airport to get off at Lantian Hotel. We got off by taxi to the inn. It is about 20 yuan. Because we had read many advice from travelers before, saying that the ancient town of Shuhe was full of paved roads and couldn't drive, we booked an inn in the parking lot of Shuhe North Gate. We didn't have to drag boxes and go to Yulong Snow Mountain and Lugu Lake. It's also very convenient.

Day 5 Dayan Ancient Town (Lijiang Ancient Town)

Erha from the coffee shop

It is a must-eat restaurant in Shuhe Ancient Town, Lijiang. I was also recommended by others. I ordered several special dishes. The special small pot rice is very delicious, with soft and crispy potatoes in it, the steam pot chicken is very fresh, and the chicken is stewed. Very soft, my little brother's service is also very good. I am very lucky. I have met the 7th anniversary and various preferential activities are extremely cost-effective and great!!!

Day 2 to Yulong Snow Mountain. We signed up for a one-day tour from Serena's. It was a small group of 8 people, 520 per person. There was no need to pay any other fees for the entire journey. Because we live in the North Gate of Shuhe, it is convenient for our master to pick us up. The driver was a local, tanned, and spoke with an accent. He told us the precautions for altitude sickness along the way. I was so scared that I quickly drank a bottle of Rhodiola Rhodiola, and later drank another bottle before getting on the cableway, but it was for me It was useless at all... because the cableway tickets couldn't be obtained until noon, so we went to Blue Moon Valley first. Lanyue Valley feels very similar to Jiuzhaigou. You can see the snowy mountains from afar. Coupled with blue sky and clear water, it is still very beautiful.

After lunch, we began to queue up to get on the cableway. Although it was off-season, it took us nearly an hour to pass the check-in station and take the bus to get off the cableway station. But fortunately, the weather was excellent that day, and we successfully got on the big cableway. The cableway was closed due to the wind mark for the next few days. It snowed on the snowy mountains on the 15th. The entire cableway takes 10 minutes. Because the altitude is very high and it is all snowy mountains, you can't look back while sitting in it, otherwise you will be afraid of heights if you don't have a fear of heights. I was fine in the cableway and was still comforting my friends. As a result, when I got off the cableway and entered the platform more than 4000 meters long, I began to feel dizzy and sleepy. I walked like I was drunk and couldn't control my pace. There was nothing wrong with my friend. I basically sat in a chair and inhaled oxygen, and then took some photos with blurred eyes under my friend's call for "wake up". Because in the end, I really reacted a little too much, so my friends accompanied me and didn't climb up the mountain. They lined up again and took the cableway down the mountain.

Other teammates all climbed to 4680. My friend and I sat in the car and waited for almost 2 hours, but I still felt a little regretful. Altitude sickness has a lot to do with personal physique and mentality. Rhodiola and Snickers have no effect here, but it's okay to have friends who don't eat anything.

Day 3 ~4 Lugu Lake We booked a trip from Xiaowei. The commercial bus group from Lijiang to Lugu Lake costs 650 people per person. We had to stop several times during the journey to take pictures of the beautiful scenery, which took about 4 hours. The journey was full of anticipation, and the parking point would let us come down to take photos. It felt like time passed quickly.

The first time I saw Lugu Lake, I was stunned. It is surrounded by mountains and mountains and lakes. The color of the lake water is deeper than the sky. From a distance, it is calm, just like a picture.
