#Lijiang #Shangri-La #Baragezhong #Jade Dragon Snow Mountain #July #Lijiang Review #Traveling to China by myself My first time traveling to China by myself was so difficult and fun. Caution: Kunming and Shangri-La are quite high above sea level, so there is a chance of altitude sickness. You should study how to prepare before going. Altitude : Bangkok: 4 meters above sea level Kunming: 1,800 meters above sea level Lijiang: 2,400 meters above sea level Jade Dragon Snow Mountain: 4,680 meters above sea level Shangri-La: 4,000 meters above sea level Baragezong: 4,200 meters above sea level ………. Travel plan [Day 1]: Bangkok—> Kunming Let's adjust the altitude first. Take a walk and sleep for a night. [Day 2]: Kunming—> Lijiang By high-speed train (3 hours) Stay in the old town of Lijiang for 2 nights. I recommend it. It's very good. Stay at Lijiang Yue Tu Inn. The restaurant nearby is very delicious. I recommend eating Mala Tofu. It's the best in the world. [Day 3]: Still in Lijiang. I have a little bit of altitude sickness even though I've taken some medicine. But I started to adjust. Today, I went to the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. I booked a day tour with the hotel owner (the owner of this hotel can speak English). -The tour price will be around 600-700 yuan, depending on the period you go. -Warning: The tour price includes 2 oxygen cans and a long winter coat to borrow. You don't have to buy more oxygen. // They will take you to a shop, which is very expensive. You don't have to buy it. If you want to buy it, you can buy it in the city for about 10 yuan. -The tour includes the Impression Lijian show. The show is beautiful. The songs are great, but it's very hot. You don't have to watch it all the way through. -The tour includes lunch, but it's not delicious!!!!! -Jade water is free at Bang Bo. If you want to watch it all, it costs 35 yuan more. -I recommend adding the driver's WeChat because most of them can't speak English. WeChat has a translation function, so it's easier to communicate. - Each area will send a QR code via WeChat with instructions on how to walk to each point. The QR code must be used with a passport. **Try to find someone in the same tour group to go with you. It will be more convenient (most of them are Chinese, but they are very cute. If you can speak a little Chinese, it will be more convenient.) [Day 4]: Lijiang—> Shangri-La, rent a car with a driver to pick you up at the hotel. Stop by to visit places along the way. - Tiger Leaping Gorge - Strong water pressure, beautiful - The Blue Mountains on the Moon Hotel: Beautiful room, great view, most convenient to walk around the city on earth. The room is a bit expensive, but worth it. There is an oxygen generator in the room, no need to worry! - At night, walk around the city. It is beautiful! Like a Chinese movie [Day 5]: Let's rent a dress to visit the temple. The rental fee is 80 yuan, including makeup. - Today's highlight will be at Songzanlin Temple, Lama sect. It is worth going!!! - Napahai Lake - End with Dafo Temple, Golden Magic Circle Which is in the old city of Shang where we stayed. [Day 6]: A little bit of a mistake in planning, Baragezong came to stay here today, causing us to go back and forth. I do not recommend this route. - Baragezong is a very large park. There are buses to take you to various tourist spots inside. If you have time, you should stay in Baragezong for 1 night because it is very big. - Head straight back to Lijiang. [Day 7]: Walk around the old city a bit, then fly back home to Bangkok. ****Recommendations: - It is a bit difficult to communicate. If you have someone who can speak Chinese, it will be much more convenient. - You can pay in cash, but there is not much change. - If you use SCB Planet linked to Alipay, you should try it out first. It is better to bring cash just in case, it is safer. - From what I tried, Alipay can only be used to pay for QR codes in stores. If it is for transferring money to individuals, it seems that it is not possible. If anyone has any advice, please tell me. It was so bad when I went there that I could not scan to pay. - Not everyone gets altitude sickness. I took my parents who are in their sixties and they were fine, but my late teens were fine. -Neck pain is a sign of altitude sickness. -Can't use FB or YouTube when connecting to Wi-Fi there, but can use roaming. -Google Maps doesn't work. -Apple Maps and Trip Maps work well. -I recommend copying the name of the place in Chinese to use when searching on the map. If you search in English, you won't find it. That's all, it's so long 😅Hello.

📍Attraction address: Lijiang Old Town, Yunnan (It takes about a day to visit the whole old town) 🚗Attraction transportation: Airport shuttle bus or inn transfer. If you stay outside the old town, you can take a taxi (we stayed in a homestay in the old town, so we had a transfer from the airport to the old town) 👍️Must-see attractions: Big Waterwheel, Sakura Restaurant, Black Dragon Pool, Wangu Tower, Baimalongtan Temple, etc. The old town is mainly inns, restaurants, bars, and small shops. There are many places to take photos and portraits. You can choose to take portraits. The makeup and hair styling are very mature, and the prices are the same throughout the old town, 198/299/398. You can take photos according to your needs. You can also rent clothes and makeup. There are many places to take portraits, but the roads in the old town are really slippery, so be careful when walking. There are very few people in the off-season, so it's very convenient to take photos. If you like lively places, you must go to the bar street. Every bar has resident singers and bands, and there are people at the door to attract customers. If you feel good about a bar, just go in and order a few bottles of beer and you can sit for a night. 🎟️Ticket information: No ticket is required for the old town, but the parking lot charges a fee. It's inconvenient to drive by yourself because you don't know which gate to enter and exit. Lijiang Old Town 💗Other tips: Don't buy specialties inside (go to Zhongyi Night Market to buy) / join a tour group (you can join outside or the homestay owner or Trip.com, which is cheaper than inside). You can put on makeup and take portraits, and eat the special dishes inside. Two couples can also take a walk and take photos, which are very photogenic! 🍲Dish recommendations: Preserved pork ribs hot pot (you can also ask for a portion of preserved pork ribs with mushroom hot pot!), various rice noodles (Yunnan-style rice noodles, very strange and addictive), mushroom hot pot!!! (Super delicious, Guangdong people say it's very fresh~) Personal recommendation: Take a group of portraits, eat a special dish, take a walk and enjoy the scenery, and if you like lively places, you can have a drink and meet someone at night~

Lijiang Old Town left a deep impression on me. The ancient streets and alleys, the long-standing Naxi culture, and the warm sunshine always make people linger. This time I went to Lijiang, I chose a self-guided tour, which was relaxing and allowed me to enjoy the local scenery and food. Destination Introduction Lijiang Old Town is the most representative cultural city in Yunnan, a World Cultural Heritage site, with a rich historical background and unique ethnic customs. Walking on the stone roads of the old town, you can feel the strong historical atmosphere and authentic Naxi culture. Check-in Points Dayan Ancient Town: This is the core of Lijiang Old Town. Walking in the ancient town, you can feel the pulse of history. Mufu Palace: The original Naxi Palace, a good place to learn about the history of Lijiang. Black Dragon Pool Park: The lake here is clear, and behind it is the beautiful scenery of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, which is simply a photo paradise. Attraction Guide Every alley in Lijiang has a story. Remember to visit Shuhe Ancient Town, which is quieter than Dayan Ancient Town and is a good place to relax. Accommodation Suggestions Choose inns around the old town to experience traditional Naxi customs. The price is about CNY 150–300 per night, which is cost-effective. Route Recommendation It is recommended to choose a two-day tour of Lijiang + Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. On the first day, you can visit the old town, and on the second day, you can go to Jade Dragon Snow Mountain or Blue Moon Valley. The itinerary is not tight. Special Food Lijiang Preserved Pork Ribs: Stewed until tender and flavorful, with a great taste! Chickpea Jelly: Refreshing and greasy, a must-try in summer! Naxi Hot Pot: Unique flavor, very spicy. Recommended Travel Season Lijiang is like spring all year round. The best travel time is spring and autumn, when the climate is pleasant. Money-saving Tips Booking attraction tickets and accommodation in advance can often get you discounts. In addition, the prices of small shops in Lijiang Old Town are relatively high, so it is recommended to buy souvenirs in the surrounding markets. Tips The stone roads in the old town are slippery, so wear comfortable shoes. If you don't want to be sold to, you can avoid shopping near attractions. I hope this guide will help you. Lijiang is really worth a visit! 🌸

Today we will take everyone to eat a copper hot pot with yak meat 🐂 with a great view of the old town of Lijiang. I must say that eating and looking at the view is so awesome. This shop is located in the old town of Lijiang called "Yue Gu Lou Si Xiang Restaurant". The hot pot of this shop comes in a small and a large set. 🥬🫑🥕 The set will have 2 separate vegetables and the meat is boiled in a pot for you. You can choose between clear soup or mala. The clear soup is very delicious. It has a stewed beef soup texture that is fragrant and sweet. I must say that when you order, don't be impulsive because there is a lot of meat in the pot!!! 😋 In terms of the dipping sauce, there is a dipping sauce zone for you to season yourself to your liking. There is free unlimited rice. Another menu you should order is the grilled beef on skewers. Eating it with hot rice is really good. I recommend a day when the sky is clear because the view is very beautiful. Because the day we went, it was rainy, the sky was overcast, there was fog floating, the air was cool, but it was beautiful in another way. 🌫 🏠 Location: Yue Gu Lou Si Xiang Restaurant #Have you been there? #china #xianggelila #Lijiang #CafeLijiang #CafeLijiang #Old Town of Lijiang #Traveling in China #Free Visa

This is the biggest old town in Lijiang, with many beautiful cafes, restaurants with outstanding fresh flowers, guest houses, and temple, behind this old town is Black Dragon Pool Park. -Shuhe Ancient Town (束河古镇) – A smaller, quieter town located about 4 kilometers northwest of Dayan, historically an important stop on the Ancient Tea Horse Road. -Baisha Ancient Town (白沙古镇) – The oldest of the three towns and a key cultural center of the Naxi people, known for its ancient murals and serene atmosphere, with the backdrop of Jade Dragon Mountain.

#nightmarkets If you're visiting Lijiang Old Town, make sure to check out the Zhongyi Market, their local night market. By day, it's just a parking area, but by night, it transforms into a vibrant night market full of life. The atmosphere is fantastic, with most stalls selling delicious food and fresh fruits. You can indulge in tasty treats like baked oysters, wild mushroom and chicken dishes, BBQ steak, and even some halal options. Some of Yunnan cuisine has influences from Thai and Vietnamese food, so you'll notice some familiar flavors. Next to the night market is a fruit and vegetable market. I visited during the summer, which is grape, peach, manggo, and plum season in Yunnan, and the fruit was incredibly fresh and delicious. Besides fruits, you'll find shops selling Yunnan tea and dried mushrooms. I loved the night market's ambiance—the sellers are friendly, and the prices are reasonable. I enjoyed it so much that I had dinner there twice!

| Kuan Shang IAN Boutique Lodging. Kuan Shang Room Type: The lady upgraded our room to Yue She This is the most surprising accommodation I've encountered on this trip, with a wabi-sabi aesthetic that is not like traditional hotels. The wooden textures combined with white allow one to feel a different kind of tranquility in the ancient town. The courtyard is very photogenic, blending the rustic with the modern perfectly. From the welcome fruit desserts to the rich afternoon tea, every detail is particularly well thought out. They contacted us early to confirm our check-in time, and since we were staying next to the Intercontinental, the ladies came with a cart to help us with our luggage because the roads in the ancient town are not easy to walk on. The bedding, furniture, and even the toiletry bags in the room are all on point. They turned on the humidifier and lit the aromatherapy for us before check-in, and when we returned to the room at night, we found that the turn-down service had been done and snacks were prepared. The most satisfying aspect for me is that Kuan Shang is the only place we stayed that has a convenient dressing table and mirror for girls, where you can sit down to do your makeup. The other places either only had a large mirror far from the seat or didn't have a dressing table at all. Additionally, they offer to wash and iron five pieces of clothing for you during your stay. I had a white dress that I had been dragging on the ground, and they washed it as good as new. The lady mentioned that all the food is made in-house, with special handmade Chinese yam popping boba and roasted ginkgo nuts in the tea. The breakfast can be described as stunning; when the accompaniments for the rice noodles were served, I was amazed. It was more abundant than the popular rice noodles I had in the ancient town, and there was also the local specialty fried spare ribs, each dish delicious. The breakfast time is extended to 12 pm, allowing you to enjoy brunch in a super relaxed environment. Overall, I highly recommend this place, you can feel that every staff member
