Just finished an in-depth tour of Lijiang, Yunnan, and I have questions for you.

Just finished a 6-day, 5-night trip to Lijiang, Yunnan. Thanks to my bestie 👭 for the travel and accommodation guide before the trip. I didn't step on any landmines 💣, come on, let me share the hot strategy with you now 🤣... - 📍Day 1: Shenzhen ✈️Lijiang 🚗: Arrive at Sanyi Airport and take the airport bus 🚌, which stops at the South Gate and North Gate of Lijiang Ancient Town. There is a bus every 40 minutes, 💰20 yuan/person; 🏡 Accommodation: Yueshi·Ruidi Future Art Night Luxury B&B ▫️Free 🆓 pick-up and drop-off within 5km, a futuristic homestay with a strong sense of design, the terrace on the 6th floor overlooks the panoramic view of the ancient city, the lights are on at night and it is super romantic 😊, very photogenic 📸, the best thing is that you can also watch the sunrise on the 6th floor in the morning 👀 Golden Mountain ⛰️👍🏻; 🌙Play: Night tour of Lijiang Ancient Town ⛳Recommended tour route: Zhongyi Market→Mufu→Sanyanjing→Wangulou→Shizishan→Big Waterwheel→Dayanhuaxiang→Wuyi Street→Dashiqiao→Sifang Street - 📍Day 2: Trip to Lugu Lake and enter the "Eastern Women's Kingdom" 🚗: I found a carpooling service on a 📚 website the night before, and headed to Lugu Lake after breakfast at the B&B. The journey took about 4 hours. 🏡 Accommodation: Yueshi Chaishe Lugu Lake Hotel ▫️After putting down the luggage at the hotel, have afternoon tea first. Afternoon tea with the scenery of lakes and mountains is so healing~  All the rooms in this hotel are first-line lake view rooms🤣, you can watch the sunrise while lying on the bed🌞; 🌊Play: After afternoon tea🍵, you can take a walk around the lake near the hotel, enjoy the sea breeze, and then go to bed early😴 so you can get up early the next day to see the morning mist🌫️ - 📍Day 3: 🚙Charter a car around Lugu Lake 🚗: It is recommended to charter a car or drive around the lake by yourself, so that you can get off the car and take photos at each check-in point📸; ⛳Recommended route around the lake: Watch the Morning Fog Marriage Bridge → Daluoshui Village → Yunnan Lover's Beach → Lige Peninsula Observation Deck → Huyuan Cliff → Lover's Beach Pier → Goddess Bay 🏡 Accommodation: Yueshi Lugu Lake B&B in Sichuan ▫️The best among homestays👍🏻, each room is a large floor-to-ceiling window viewing room😀, facing Lugu Lake and Gemu Goddess Mountain, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of Lugu Lake while lying in bed🥰; the breakfast that combines Chinese and Western cuisine🥪 is cooked to order; - 📍Day 4: 🌊Tiger Leaping Gorge Hiking 🚗: It is recommended to visit Zhonghu and take photos of yourself📸; In the morning, we shared a car to Mr. Zhang's Inn (about 2 hours), and started hiking to Zhonghutiao. There are three ways to Zhonghu: Mr. Zhang's Inn, Tianti Inn, and Yitiantian Inn, forming a loop. (The whole journey takes about 3 hours), and you can enjoy the huge waves in the rainy season in Zhonghu. The scene is really spectacular 👍🏻; 🏡 Accommodation: Yueshi·adonis Wild Forest B&B ▫️Located at the north gate of Shuhe Ancient Town, the forest-style B&B is really healing❤️. There are all kinds of flowers and plants planted in the yard🌸, and there are cats and dogs and small pets that can be lulled. It's so warm and feels like returning home. - 📍Day 5: 🏔️Jade Dragon Snow Mountain + Blue Moon Valley ▫️The glacier cableway tickets I grabbed on the 🍊pre-order website three days in advance, and each person must have 2 oxygen cylinders; ⛳Recommended itinerary: Ganhaizi (see the golden mountain in the sun) → Yulong Snow Mountain (check in at the top for 4680) → Blue Moon Valley (appreciate the exclusive Tiffany blue) 🏡Accommodation: Continue to stay at Adonis B&B - 📍Day 6: 🌿Shuhe Ancient Town·Slow time ending   ▫️Sleep until you wake up naturally and have Yunnan rice noodles for breakfast at the B&B. Take a walk to the Shuhe Ancient Town. It is quieter here than the Lijiang Ancient Town, and the commercialization is not so serious 😰. It is also quite good for taking photos 📸. ✈️Return to Shenzhen in the afternoon, a perfect ending! 💡Practical tips: ✅The temperature difference between morning and evening in Lijiang is large, so you must bring a down jacket/jacket, hat🧢, scarf🧣, and gloves🧤 when you go to Jade Dragon Snow Mountain; ✅Sun protection + hydration, the air is dry and the ultraviolet rays on the plateau are strong; ✅Remember to choose carpooling on Didi when traveling, it is more cost-effective🤣

Yulong Snow Mountain

#discoverchina The view up on the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain was marred by a foggy weather. So we took the cable car down and instead of taking the tram down to the bottom site, we walked along the walking path next to the Baishui River and it was a definitely a right choice. Walking down the Baishui river, beautiful scenes unfolded in front of us. We saw white yaks, the Baishui (white) terraces and the beautiful Blue Moon Valley against the backdrop of the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. No words can describe the beautiful and amazing Chinese painting of blue water and snow- capped mountain in front of us. The long walk was worth it and is just too beautiful an experience to be missed.
