Kayaking Adventure at Lashihai: Battling Winds and Making Memories in Lijiang

#kayak #lijiang #china #lashihai One of the must-do activities in Lijiang is kayaking at Lashihai. We joined a local day tour that included horseback riding along the historic path, followed by kayaking at Lashihai. As someone who loves kayaking, I was excited, but the wind that day was exceptionally strong. Controlling the paddle became a challenge, and the wind pushed our kayak further and further away. No matter how hard I paddled, I found myself spinning in circles, unable to make any progress. It wasn’t until a staff member came to help that I finally managed to paddle back to the shore. It was a truly unforgettable experience. Despite Lashihai being a wetland park rather than a sea, making it feel more like kayaking on a lake, the outing was still enjoyable. Though the water wasn’t particularly clean, kayaking with a group of friends made it a memorable and fun adventure.

Nature lovers, get ready for an epic day out in Yulong! 🌞🐎🌷 Between shimmering lakesides, wildflower fields, and mountain vistas, this itinerary is all about outdoor beauty, unplugged adventure, and a dash of Naxi culture. Don’t forget your phone—every corner here is so beautiful, you’ll want to snap nonstop! Start your exploration at Lashihai Wetland Park (Anshang Village, Lashi Seaview District, Gucheng District, Lijiang City, open 09:00–19:00). Wander along wooden boardwalks over reflective wetlands, surrounded by blooming flowers and swaying grasses. 🪻The best photo spot: props yourself on the viewing platform as the sun filters over the water—a pure Nature-Vision scene! Early mornings have mystical light and fewer crowds. Next, saddle up at Lashi Lake Horse Riding (Lashihai, Yulong Naxi Autonomous County, open 09:00–18:00, admission ¥200) Gallop or stroll on horseback along rivers and meadows—one of Yulong’s signature experiences! 📸 Snap pics with the mountain backdrop and river bends; the horses provide that wild west vibe to your shots. Bring water, sunscreen, and wear long pants (trust me, it’s comfier for riding!). Finish with a chill stroll at Lashihai Lakeside Park (拉市镇). It’s perfect for unwinding by lily-covered ponds or under ancient trees. Catch late-afternoon sunlight filtering through leaves—a green dream photo op! A quick tip: watch your step near lake banks, especially after rain. Precautions: Weather can change quickly—bring a hat and a light jacket, stay hydrated, and mind the sometimes uneven paths. #Yulong #Lijiang #OutdoorAdventure #NatureLover #ChinaTravel #hellohalloween

The Ancient Tea-Horse Road was once the main transportation and economic trade route through Yunnan, Tibet, and Sichuan. In those days, transportation was difficult, and the terrain in Yunnan, Tibet, and Sichuan was extremely rugged. Routes were carved out by the footsteps of both humans and horses. Tea from Yunnan and Sichuan, as well as horses and medicinal herbs from Tibet, were transported by horse caravans. The villages and post stations where the caravans settled and distributed goods gradually developed into larger towns, one of which was Lijiang, and is said to be one of the best-preserved stops on the Ancient Tea-Horse Road.
