The following is the main event~~~
Before the trip, we thought that the main thing was to see the landscape, and we chose two places, Dali and Lijiang, and wanted to "take a closer look", so we planned a week (and finally found that these two places were a bit long a week, which could be reduced by 1-2 days). Before leaving, we planned to go to Yulong Snow Mountain, Lijiang Ancient City, Cangshan Erhai Lake, Dali Ancient City, and the rest to look at the place, not in a hurry, slowly and leisurely.
The flight from Shanghai to Lijiang arrives at noon, the hotel is at the foot of the Yulong Snow Mountain, the airport drives to the hotel for 1 hour, lunch is solved at the hotel, and the afternoon rest considers that the time is too late to go up the mountain, and I heard that Dayan Ancient Town is beautiful at night, so I set off to Dayan Ancient Town.
Dayan Ancient Town is one of the main ancient towns in Lijiang, no need to introduce more, my husband was not very interested in the ancient town, I think I always have to check in when I arrive in Lijiang, fortunately, there are not many people in September, there is no sense of crowding, and it is more comfortable to shop. We arrived at the ancient town at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and went directly to a commanding height, Lion Rock Eternal Building, you can overlook the panoramic view of the ancient town, there are stretching mountains in the distance, but you can't tell which one is the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, you can see the Mufu compound from upstairs, because it is late, I didn't enter the Mufu, I think it's good to look upstairs.
After coming down from Lion Rock, we looked for a restaurant to eat, followed the reviews, and ordered local specialties: pulp tofu, mushroom chicken soup, corn baba, all delicious, not cheap, spent more than two hundred, after eating, walk slowly along the stone road, wait for dark. Lijiang is beautiful at night because thousands of homes are lit up, bright and warm, and many stores are decorated with flowers, which have a unique flavor under the reflection of the lights. There is also a bonfire dance on Sifang Street, which is a local feature. On a not-so-noisy night, it is a pleasure to stroll along the cobblestone pavement, looking at the shops with scenery on both sides, the gurgling water at your feet, and the occasional cat stretching on the roof.
Early the next morning, we first visited a village near our residence called Xuesong Village, which is "Wuruken" in Naxi. It means that at the foot of the snow-capped mountain, there is a lake called Yuhu Lake, so it is also known as Yuhu Village, and Yuhu Lake is surrounded by a grassland, and we walked from our residence to the village for a morning. The village was built in the Naxi style, and it also retains the former residence of the "father of Naxi studies", the American and Austrian explorer Joseph Locke, when he lived here. Yuhu Village is a niche attraction, compared with the ancient city of Lijiang is very quiet, the area is not large, the Naxi architecture is very distinctive, there is time to see, almost every household here raises horses, everyone recommends horse riding, we want to walk, along the way I was chased and asked to ride a horse, which slightly affected the mood.
afternoon of the second day and the third day, we visited the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, the main attraction of the snow mountain is the Blue Moon Valley, Spruce Ping, Yak Ping, Glacier Park, we only had time to visit Blue Moon Valley and Yak Ping the next afternoon, and on the third day, we went into the mountains for the second time to visit Spruce Flat and Glacier Park. If you want to see all of these attractions in one day, you can only catch a glimpse of each attraction. The attractions are separated by distance, there are scenic buses shuttle, very convenient, Blue Moon Valley can be placed in the return of visiting other attractions to watch, the bus will pass by the stop, a blue lake, very beautiful, many people take wedding photos.
There are three ropeways up the mountain in Glacier Park, Yak Ping, and Spruce Ping, and the altitude is reduced in turn.
The glacier park is the highest altitude, more than 4,000 meters, and the corresponding ropeway is called the big ropeway. When we came, it was still the rainy season, and we did not see snow covering, but clouds and mist, like a fantasy, and the boulders were majestic and imposing when the clouds opened.
Yak Ping is characterized by a large alpine grassland, which is very vast, and yaks graze in the distance.
Spruce Flat is a primeval forest, with lush ancient trees and natural oxygen bars. Although it cost two tickets, it still felt worth it!
On the fourth day, from Lijiang to Dali, take a minibus at Lijiang Station along the Dali Expressway, the scenery is beautiful along the way, because the hotel is booked in Xizhou Ancient Town, We got off the bus in Xizhou early, 2 hours on the road, and about 2 and a half hours if we drove to the ancient city of Dali.
Lijiang is Naxi culture, Dali is Bai customs, Xizhou is a typical Bai village and town, we live on the edge of the village, outside the village is a large rice field, if it is summer, you must be able to "listen to the sound of frogs". Compared with the ancient city of Dali, Xizhou was developed late, the commercial atmosphere is not so strong, it is a good place to feel the Bai culture, the center of Xizhou is Sifang Street (many ancient city centers are called Sifang Street), many snacks, such as Xizhou Baba. There is a famous Bai courtyard called the Yanjia Compound Museum, pay attention to the "Yanjia Compound Museum", because there is also a courtyard also called "Yanjia Compound", which is two places, the Yanjia Compound Museum has a longer history, you can watch the Bai architecture while listening to the Bai girl introduce the history of the legendary giant, and then taste a cup of fragrant tea, and relax.
On the fifth day, we went to Erhai Lake, if you look at the map of Erhai Lake, you can see that the west side of Erhai Lake is Dali Ancient City, Cangshan, Xizhou Ancient Town, east is Shuanglang, Digging Color, Xiaoputuo and other scenic spots, friendly reminder, when we went, many places in the west of Erhai Lake were building roads, not easy to walk, so we turned around to the east.It took us most of the day, we rented a battery car, started from Shuanglang, rode south along the Huanhu Road in the east, stopped when we saw the beautiful scenery, started from Shuanglang at noon, to dig colors, and then to Xiaoputuo, just dusk, watching the sunset over Erhai Lake, there are many restaurants and homestays in these places. If you are not in a hurry, it is highly recommended to travel around the lake, self-driving and renting a car, in addition to the Internet celebrity check-in place, there are many places to stop and enjoy.
morning of the sixth day, I went to the ancient city of Dali, there were a lot of people, so I walked around the main road. Originally planned to stay in the ancient city for a day, people didn't want to go shopping for half a day, and went to Cangshan in the afternoon, the ancient city to Cangshan took a taxi for 20 minutes, Cangshan has three ropeways, the starting point is in three different places, and the ropeway to the highest altitude is called the big ropeway, which is divided into two sections, and the lower half sits halfway up the mountain to the Seven Dragon Girl Pool, come down to the same place and transfer to the upper half to Ximatan, Ximatan is nearly 4,000 meters above sea level, because I have been to Yulong Snow Mountain, I feel that Ximatan is not too cold. The landscape on the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain and the Cangshan Mountain has its own characteristics, the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain feels the magnificent momentum, the glacier park is full of majestic boulders, and the Cangshan view is more about the changes of various vegetation and rock formations. The other two ropeways are the Gantong Ropeway and the Zhonghe Ropeway, which go up to the mountainside, and it is worth mentioning that an 11.5-kilometer-long walking road halfway up the mountain is called Yudai RoadAt both ends of the road are the terminal station of the Gantong Ropeway, Cangshan Grand Canyon and the Zhonghe Ropeway terminal station Zhonghe Temple, in the middle is the Seven Dragon Girls Pond Station of the Grand Ropeway, the Jade Belt Road connects the stations of the three ropeways, the Jade Belt Road from Cangshan Grand Canyon to the Seven Dragons Girl Pond is about 4.5 kilometers, and the Jade Belt Road from the Seven Dragon Girls Pond to Zhonghe Temple is about 7 kilometers, the road condition is very good, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the mountains and forests while breathing fresh air, quite comfortable and comfortable. However, the length of this road is also challenging, and if you are hiking, you must remember the latest time to descend the ropeway, so don't miss the descent of the mountain. We only had half a day to take a ropeway, we took the Gantong ropeway, played Qingbi Creek and the canyon, there was an Internet celebrity Jizhao Monastery in time, I heard that there are very beautiful succulents and delicious vegetarian dishes.
On the seventh day, I entered the mountain for the second time, took the big ropeway up to Ximatan, played for 2-3 hours, and then came down from Ximatan to the Seven Dragon Girl Pool, and walked along the Yudai Road to the terminal of the Gantong Ropeway. Walk faster, about 1 hour, and then take the sensory ropeway down the mountain.
On the eighth day, preparing to return, we were still strolling around Xizhou Ancient Town in the morning, as mentioned earlier, there is a large rice field in the ancient town, which turned from green to yellow at the beginning of September, and there were many people taking pictures, and we returned in the afternoon.
Well, that's basically the tour process, and finally I will share the climate, accommodation, food, and cost.
Climate: When we arrive, the rainy season is not over yet, basically it will rain a little every day, but it will not rain all the time, you can go out to play, that is, the mountain is misty and rainy, sometimes it is sunny at the foot of the cable car mountain, and it will rain at the top of the mountain. If you want to see snow come in winter, you want to see flowers in March of the lunar calendar.
Accommodation: The two accommodations we booked this time in Lijiang are the Chiliu Snow Mountain Kiss Art Hotel, and Dali is the Dali Tiangu Xiyuan Historical Heritage Boutique Hotel, both of which are good. The kiss of the snow mountain is more enthusiastic and casual, we live at the foot of the snow mountain and the car is not very good, it is all hotel pick-up, the meal is also very standard, we ate several meals, the meal money and fare are the last settlement.Dali Tiangu Xiyuan is a hotel management style, polite, and a major feature is that the hotel is renovated from the entire Bai courtyard, the exterior is an old-fashioned building, and the interior is modern decoration, which has both visual enjoyment and can experience clean and comfortable accommodation conditions. These two places are at the foot of Yulong Snow Mountain and Xizhou Ancient Town, I chose according to the standard of quiet environment, from the traffic point of view, the hotel in Lijiang is far from the ancient city of Lijiang, to the snow mountain is relatively close, the hotel in Xizhou is in the northwest of Erhai Lake, to Cangshan and Shuanglang have a distance, we spent a lot of money to take a taxi these days. Next time, I might consider staying in a lively attraction for easy travel.
Diet: Local specialties are spicy, meat mainly has fish and chicken, I like sweet, there is a carved plum rib recommendation, sweet and sour, vegetarian dishes have a variety of flowers in the dish, we ate pomegranate flowers, jasmine, rhododendrons, "water-based poplar flowers" (sea vegetables), taste fresh, of course, there are all kinds of insects, I didn't dare to eat it, snacks have baba, bait blocks.
Fee: Two people spent a total of about 10,000 5, air tickets 6,400 yuan (two people), accommodation 3,400 yuan, transportation and meal tickets about 4,000 yuan, no money saved. We go to Saturday and back on Saturday, and it will be cheaper to go back and forth on weekdays, and we are going to Lijiang and Dali, if it is a place to go back and forth, it will be cheaper. The accommodation is more than 400 a night, this trip is a bit long, and the queue is full to save 1-2 days. We all take a taxi for local transportation, ranging from dozens to hundreds, costing one or two hundred a day, and then the ticket to the second mountain cost twice, but we also visited a lot of attractions.
The above is the experience of our trip to Yunnan, thank you for reading the end, I hope there is a reference! !
