Very fun, the shuttle bus + cableway can directly go to the mountain opposite the snow mountain, and then walk the plank road to the best viewing attractions, the highest place is almost 3,600 meters, the air is fresh and cool, the weather is good, just film
It is very easg ti use. We just show the ticket from mobile together with passport, the view is beautiful. Once we get in the cable car during 10 am, the weather is smoky or cloudy but we wait till noon and then it become clear sky...

I have been to Wuhu several times. Wuhu in different seasons has different beauty. It is strongly recommended to travel by car. You can freely arrange your play time and deeply experience the local cuisine and humanities. Avoid the peak season and live in the lake view room at a cheap price.
The scenery is beautiful and pleasant, the environment is very good 👍👍, the holiday is very suitable, the sky is clear, the self-driving trip is very suitable, the locals are also very good, I ate some local specialty snacks, I feel like I have entered the realism of Miyazaki comics.

When watching the performance of "Great Earthquake" in Lijiang's ancient scene area, I saw the performances of the actors, imagining that the people were trapped in the ruins at that time, and thinking of the blood wedding dress still in the museum. At that time, when the earthquake occurred, the bride and groom were so sad. Thinking about seeing you in the next life, and stepping into the hall of marriage together. I was really touched.
Going to see Lijiang's ancient love, I was finally touched by the "Great Earthquake". "Great Earthquake" is the background of the 512 Wenchuan earthquake as the story, whether it is the greatness of the mother protecting the child under the body when the earthquake came, or the life and death of the couple who pulled their hands together after the earthquake. The fearlessness and sacrifice of rescue servicemen are deeply rooted in the hearts of people. The connotation is deep but easy to understand, and it is worth seeing.

I think Lijiang is a place worth visiting. The architectural style here is unique, especially suitable for wearing cheongsam to take pictures. Of course, you can also choose to rent local ethnic costumes to wear. ● Folk customs are rich: Naxi ethnic minorities and other ethnic minorities live here, and tourists can participate in dances, sing and dance with local residents, and taste specialties such as Naxi grilled fish and pork ribs hot pot, and experience unique folk customs.
Affordable ticket purchase speed is very fast, a few dollars cheaper, not bad, the highest point of Lijiang Ancient City is quite good, it is worth seeing, just the weather is good, I have seen more than an hour, the must-come attractions are very good, I like it very much.

The eldest sister who took us on the horse also squatted with us. The outside of Lashihai has a beautiful scenery. There are flowers everywhere, blue sky and white clouds, and there are a few horses on the lawn in the distance. There are few people. The bamboo raft breeze is comfortable. Big brother is very good.
The wetland park has an elegant environment, comfortable strolling around the lake, shaded plank road, migratory birds and ducks appear from time to time, blue sky and white clouds are lined up, the wetland is more beautiful, the domestic facilities are complete, you can also rent a car to ride, and the film rate is high.

If you’re heading to Lijiang, don’t skip Shu He Ancient Town! It’s a hidden gem just 4km from the main city and way more peaceful than the crowded Lijiang Old Town. The cobbled streets, flowing streams, and traditional Naxi-style homes create such a relaxing vibe.I loved how you could stroll around without rushing — every corner had something charming, whether it was a quiet teahouse, local crafts, or red lanterns swaying in the breeze. It’s also rich in history, once a key stop along the Ancient Tea Horse Road. You can still feel that timeless atmosphere in the air.
Shuhe Ancient Town is located in the northwest of the ancient city of Lijiang City, about 6 kilometers away from the ancient city of Lijiang (Dayan Ancient Town), and a 10-minute drive away. Shuhe Ancient Town is a bit similar to the ancient city of Lijiang, but there are not many tourists and it is quiet. Transportation: Take a taxi from Lijiang Ancient City for about 15 yuan; Bus 6 and 11 directly to Shuhe Ancient Town Station.

If you’re ever in Yunnan, Bai Sha Ancient Town is a must-see! The cobbled streets, traditional architecture, and peaceful vibes make it the perfect spot to unwind and take in some history. Trust me, you won’t regret it! 🌿🏛️
Transportation - Convenient and varied: From Lijiang City to Baisha Ancient Town, the transportation is more convenient, you can choose to take a taxi, about 20-30 minutes to arrive, the cost is about 30-50 yuan. You can also take buses, such as No. 3, No. 6, No. 17 and Baisha Ancient Town Tourist Lines, but the drive is long and about 1 hour. If you like a free and flexible travel method, renting an electric car is also a good choice, and you can enjoy the pastoral scenery along the way.

I think the scenery is very good, but the requirements for the season are relatively strong. When I went this time, there were only 4 flowers, which was beautiful, but a little more would be better. The staff told me that there would be more flowers when I waited until July and August. Overall, it is quite satisfactory, but there are a lot of thin waist bees in the flowers. I have been stared at. Is there a better way to remove flying insects by the staff? I also harvested a gift like flower seed, which is quite creative. Will go again.
It is worth recommending that the boss carefully builds the 100 garden in our hearts. There are many new people taking wedding photos in it. It is so happy. I highly recommend the treasures to punch in and give afternoon tea and souvenirs.

Compared with Baisha Ancient Town, I recommend staying in Yuhu Village! There is no commercialization, and it is very primitive! Yuhu Village is very close to Baisha Ancient Town by taxi, and it only takes more than 10 minutes to get there. Yuhu Village is closest to Yulong Snow Mountain, and the only disadvantage is that it is very windy!
Yuhu Village is located about 18 kilometers north of Lijiang Ancient Town, at the southern foot of Yulong Snow Mountain, about 2,700 meters above sea level. It is called "Wuluken" in Naxi language, which means "village at the foot of snow mountain". The village is surrounded by snow-capped mountains, meadows and forests, with magnificent scenery. The houses in Yuhu Village are built with local glacial stones, with thick walls and slate roofs. The style is simple and rough, and it is called "stone village". This kind of building has windproof, earthquake-resistant and warm-keeping functions, and is a living fossil of traditional Naxi architecture. The village is built on the mountain, with winding alleys and streams running through the village, blending with nature.
The main attractions include Yuhu Lake (Longnu Lake), a natural lake above the village, which is formed by the meltwater of the glacier of Yulong Snow Mountain. The lake is clear and reflects the snow-capped mountains, with different scenery in different seasons. The lakeside meadow is vast, and it is a popular place for hiking, horseback riding and photography.
Yuzhu Qingtian Scenic Area is located near the village. It has ancient temples, cliff carvings and clear springs. The environment is quiet. This is a paid scenic area. Because the mountain was closed due to heavy snow on the day of the tour, the scenic area was closed.
Yuhu Village is free. Tourists can only take a car to the tourist center down the mountain. There are sightseeing buses to Longnu Lake in the scenic area, or you can walk up the mountain to Longnu Lake, which takes about an hour. There are many restaurants in the village, and the prices are not expensive.
Yuhu Village after the snow is more quaint, like a fairy tale world.
Transportation: Starting from Lijiang Ancient Town, you can take a taxi or drive (about 40 minutes), or take bus No. 17 or tourist special bus to the parking lot of the tourist center.

I bought the ticket very early, but the pick-up driver said that it was not as good as the landscape. In fact, I was drumming in my heart, but the baby was particularly invested in the process, and the actors in several chapters were actually a wave of people, which was really hard. I didn't expect disappointment, I felt very good. But the waiting room is really hard to say. The ticket location is very good, given the middle of the fourth row, Trip.com is very good.
This package includes tickets for Lashihai Wetland Park and tickets for Lishui Sands Song and Dance Shows, which are much cheaper than buying separately. Lashihai exchanged tickets for the park with the QR code sent, and Lishui Sands performance report mobile phone number and name to change tickets for admission. The beautiful scenery of Lashihai is worth visiting, and the Lishui Sands show is also very exciting.
