5 Things You Must Know Before Going to Lijiang Lijiang's popularity seems to have declined, but its beautiful scenery remains unchanged. In winter, cherry blossoms bloom in Lijiang, with pink under the snow-capped mountains, blending romance and Bai ethnic style. 1️⃣Transportation tips: Hangzhou flies directly to Lijiang, and the 27 bus from Lijiang Airport goes directly there for 3 yuan. Carpooling costs about 30 yuan per person. You can take the bus to Shuhe Ancient Town and Baisha Ancient Town. 2️⃣Accommodation tips: I prefer to stay in Dayan Ancient Town, immersed in the local Bai ethnic customs, convenient for eating and shopping. You can ask the innkeeper to pick you up when you book. Recommend Yuemutang Boutique Inn, Baihexuan Boutique Inn starting from 200 yuan. 3️⃣Food tips: Lijiang's special mushroom hot pot, smoked ribs hot pot, yak meat hot pot. Snacks recommended are rice noodles, bean powder, bait. The prices in the ancient city are high, you can go to the Zhongyi Market at the city gate, which are all local specialties. 4️⃣Tour tips: Recommended attractions are Dayan Ancient Town, Shuhe Ancient Town, Baisha Ancient Town, Wenhai Village, Lijiang Dajinta, Fuguo Temple, Black Dragon Pool Park Dayan Ancient Town is the tourist center of Lijiang, a thousand-year-old Bai ethnic town, you can climb Lion Mountain to overlook the panoramic view of the ancient city, and stroll around the snack street and bar street at night. Shuhe Ancient Town is more niche compared to Dayan Ancient Town, it is said to be the appearance of Dayan Ancient Town more than a decade ago. Free admission. Ticket Baisha Ancient Town is my favorite ancient town in Lijiang, which has really well preserved Bai ethnic residential buildings, very original. Free admission, take bus 3 and transfer to 6. Wenhai Village is a new internet-famous spot in Lijiang, located behind the mountain of Baisha Ancient Town, there is no public transportation, you need to charter a car to get there. The residents here are self-sufficient, like a paradise. Free. Black Dragon Pool Park is my most recommended Lijiang attraction, choose a good weather day to go, the panoramic view of Jade Dragon Mountain is in sight. Free admission for a limited time. 5️⃣Clothing tips: The temperature difference between morning and evening in Lijiang in early spring is particularly large, you need to wear a thick coat. Due to the high altitude and dry climate, there will be certain altitude sickness, you need to do a good job of moisturizing and hydrating, severe cases can buy oxygen tanks for backup. Finally, I recommend the cherry blossom viewing strategy at the end of winter and early spring, the best position is Wangu Tower in Dayan Ancient City and Snow Mountain Middle Road.

Located in the secluded paradise of Wenhai Village in Lijiang, about 40 minutes to an hour's drive from Lijiang Old Town, but coming here will definitely not disappoint you. Here, you can stroll in the rarely trodden grassland, admire the beautiful snow mountains and lake scenery, and taking photos and camping are also great choices. To go to Wenhai Village, you can choose to take a taxi or drive by yourself. If you choose to take a taxi, it is recommended to go early, because it may be too late to get a taxi back. If you drive by yourself, you can navigate directly to Wenhai Village. In terms of travel strategy, I personally suggest that friends who want to see more snow mountains can go to the right of the village (the right bank of the lake facing the village). That side is the best place to watch the sunset and the sunrise over the Golden Mountain. Most people will choose to go to the left side, where you can ride horses, hold lambs and take portraits (for a fee, but the price is not expensive, about fifty or sixty yuan for a ride). If you have enough time, you can go to both sides to play and take pictures, either by walking or driving. In Wenhai Village, there are many restaurants and cafes, you can go and find them yourself, and experience the local food and coffee culture. In addition, I recommend choosing a piece of equipment suitable for high-altitude complex and changeable weather, such as the Kailas MONT-X hard shell storm jacket. Wenhai Village is located at the foot of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, with an altitude of more than 3000 meters. This GORE TEX 3L hard shell can block wind and rain well, and cope with the weather changes at high altitude at any time. It also has wrist-fitting magic tape cuffs to prevent wind and rain from pouring in, and it is also very high in appearance, and is one of the must-have equipment for travel. In summary, Wenhai Village is a hidden paradise in Lijiang, with beautiful natural scenery and a wealth of activity choices. Whether it's taking photos, camping, or tasting local food and coffee, you can be satisfied here.
