Accommodation

You can stay in the area around Lijiang Old Town and Shuhe Ancient Town. We stayed in Shuhe Ancient Town.

Food

Check out this restaurant with a long line in Shuhe Ancient Town.

I've been staying in Shuhe Ancient Town for three days. I passed by this restaurant every day when I went out, and there was always a line. I was really curious, is it really this delicious? With curiosity, I came here!

The gate looks small, but it's a different world inside. The environment is very beautiful, like a garden, and every corner is full of beautiful scenery.

Service:

The service was very enthusiastic and they kept us informed of any activities. The people were very nice! There was also a singer singing at noon. The singing was great. The songs were elegant and gentle. It was not noisy at all and very comfortable.

Visit

Visit tips:

1. Black Dragon Pond Park

A great place to watch the sunrise over Jinshan Mountain in the city. Sunrise is around 6:30 pm. Navigation available.

The west gate of the park is closest to the excellent Suocui Bridge (Summer is the rainy season, so don't go there on rainy days).

2. Shuhe Ancient Town

Many artistic alleys are very suitable for taking photos, and the light is especially good in the morning

3 Lashi Lake

A free and niche beautiful place, no need to ride a horse, navigate to Lashi Lake Wetland Park, the nearby Zhiyun Temple is also very photogenic, and it feels like Xiaosong Zanlin Temple

4 Lijiang Ancient Town

Recommended to stroll from afternoon to night; places with great photos: Wenchang Palace Observation Deck, Eye of Lijiang, Dashi Bridge, Baisui Bridge, Wanzi Bridge, Qiyi Street, Dayan Flower Alley; Sifang Street (you can join the locals in dancing in circles)

5 Jade Dragon Snow Mountain

The scenic area consists of three cable cars and ten Blue Moon Valley

3 routes to choose from:

① Glacier Park Blue Moon Valley → Yunshanping ② Yakping ▬ Blue Moon Valley → Yunshanping ③ Glacier Park Blue Moon Valley Yakping, I most recommend route ③, 6 Jade Dragon Snow Mountain experience, this route is the most beautiful in my mind

6 Dongba Valley

You will pass by on the way back to the city from Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. There are small pearl lakes on the roadside. It is very beautiful to take panoramic photos of the snow-capped mountains

7 Yuhu Village

A village made entirely of stone houses. Longnu Lake is at the end of the village. It is very beautiful to take photos under the lonely tree by the lake

8 Baisha Ancient Town

Check in at the Baisha Archway, 7 Sea Bar has an excellent camera position on the second floor. Although there are many people, the photos are really beautiful

9 Wenhai

A secluded village at the foot of the snow-capped mountains that 99% of people will miss, with lakes, meadows, and herds of cattle and horses. It is the most worthwhile place in Lijiang in summer in my mind
