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🤣
