09:00 Depart from Shangri-La Hotel, destination is Lugu Lake, passing Haba Snow Mountain Observation Deck and Tiger Leaping Gorge on the way.
09:28 Arrived at Shangri-La Toll Station (highway entrance), because the nucleic acid test result taken in Dukezong Ancient Town yesterday was not out, I could not get on the highway (there were a lot of people stuck). After waiting for a while, I left the highway at 10:11 and took the national highway instead. 11:07 Arrived at Haba Snow Mountain Observation Deck.
Due to the weather, we didn't see anything. We stayed for a while and then left.
12:31 Arrive at Tiger Leaping Gorge Visitor Center (ticket: 45 yuan/person, sightseeing elevator: 70 yuan/person, parking fee: 5 yuan)
This visitor center is similar to a mountain gate. There is a house on the left side of the road. Because there is a river on the right, it can only be on the left side of the road. If you drive there, you have to go against the traffic. The road is narrow and steep, so drive carefully. After buying the ticket, you still have to walk another 6 kilometers to reach the scenic area.
There are two Jinsha River Bridge viewing platforms along the way.
That's it! There are two bridges over the Jinsha River, one highway bridge (blue) and one railway bridge.
Arrived at the Tiger Leaping Gorge Scenic Area parking lot at 13:06.
The entrance to the scenic area. You can take this elevator to quickly reach the lowest viewing platform, or you can walk down.
Leave Tiger Leaping Gorge at 14:35 and continue to Lugu Lake. We passed Lijiang at 15:46 and arrived at the gate of Lugu Lake Scenic Area at 18:56 (ticket: 70 yuan/person).
Inside the gate is an observation deck from which you can see the panoramic view of Lugu Lake. As it was already dark, we went straight to the hotel.
Arrived at Vienna 3 Best Hotel (Lijiang Lugu Lake Branch) at 19:20.
Then, I walked to do nucleic acid testing and had dinner.
There is water hyacinth soup!
Visiting Lugu Lake on September 27, 2022.
In the early morning, the hotel balcony overlooks Lugu Lake.
Lugu Lake is divided into two parts, Yunnan and Sichuan. When we came, there was an epidemic in Sichuan and we were not allowed to go there, so we could only visit the Yunnan side.
This is the water lily. There were not many left when we arrived.
September 28, 2022, set off at 09:25 am and returned to Lijiang. Since the journey was not long, I went to explore the three observation decks in the morning.
