Liupanshui, Guizhou, I want to go to Lijiang, Yunnan for a self-help tour. Please give me a suggestion.

Let me show you one. I posted it myself. You can make comments when you come back.

You don't need too many clothes to travel in Yunnan. A suit of long and short clothes is enough. Personally, I strongly recommend preparing a coat made of that kind of rain-proof silk fabric, which has many uses. In addition, if you come to Yunnan in summer, you'd better prepare a pair of sunglasses.

First stop, Kunming

Official itinerary

Day 1 day: Jin Dian World Expo Park

The World Expo Park was completed in 1999 and has been commercialized since the beginning of the competition. Although they are all man-made, it is still necessary to see them because of their great fame. However, people who are interested in gardens or buildings will still gain something from it.

Admission: 100 yuan. You can buy half a ticket with your student ID card. You must bring your student ID card when you come to Yunnan. Almost all major scenic spots have half-price student tickets to buy, but the verification is very strict. )

Transportation: Take bus No.69 to the destination (the return journey is the same).

It takes half a day to browse the Expo site. If it is still early, you can take the ropeway in the park (not recommended) or take the bus outside the park to the Golden Temple Scenic Area (tickets 15 yuan, no student tickets). Jindian was built in Wu Sangui in the early Qing Dynasty, and it was made by pure casting. Apart from the Golden Temple, there is almost no ornamental value in the scenic spot.

The next day: Shilin

The famous address park is world-famous and worth seeing.

Shilin is not in the city, so transportation and accommodation are troublesome. You can report a one-day tour of Shilin according to the advertisement published in front of the railway station or the Expo Park the day before (the price is about 100 yuan, and if it exceeds this price, you will bargain, including scenic spot tickets, Chinese food and bus fare).

When signing up for a tour, be sure to visit the scenic spots including the "Oishinohayashi" scenic spot (the picture on the Shilin brand cigarette box).

One-day tour of Shilin is cheap, but no matter whether the travel agency reported it is formal or not, there are many tricks in it, so you need to be very careful. Personally recommend Yunnan Everbright Travel Agency and Yunnan International Travel Service.

The cunning of Shilin one-day travel agency;

A: The "Colorful Yunnan" shopping spot is halfway. "Emerald Jade" shopping spot. Remember: don't buy beautiful things. Otherwise, you will regret it.

B: Never draw lots, tell fortune, burn incense or worship Buddha in the temple. (The same is true in other places in Yunnan-except Songzanlin Temple in Shangri-La (see below)-it's not that we don't respect the deities and buddhas, but that the deities and buddhas in these small temples have been defiled by the secular monks and Taoists. )

C: Never take part in the so-called entertainment project of marrying ethnic minorities in Shilin Scenic Area, or you will lose 100 yuan.

D: When traveling in scenic spots, you can arrange home visits for ethnic minorities. Send wine and tea, don't worry. Just remember to keep your wallet tight and never buy it.

Tickets for 70 yuan (student 50 yuan) in Shilin Scenic Area are basically unprofitable, and the above problems are understandable. Understand these things yourself, and they can't help you if you don't fall for it. That's it. There is no need to argue with it. If the rest of the group looks at the rich man, let him be fooled. We are not saviors. After all, the tour guide has to eat. But the stone forest is still beautiful.

If you really don't want to join the group, take a bus to Kunming Railway Station, ask for directions, and take the relevant bus to Shilin County (one-way fare 15 yuan or so).

Choose Lijiang or Shangri-La directly.

Lijiang No.2 Station

The scenery in Lijiang is really beautiful, but the poor tourism management in Lijiang is the same as her scenery in the whole country. Who has heard of the price of public toilets in scenic spots that have bought tickets in the past-one yuan for defecation and fifty cents for urination-which really makes Lijiang's tourism management executives feel ashamed!

The Quaker's name for Sunday

If you come from Dali, you should have a full meal before getting on the bus, then get off at Maoniuping and take the cableway to see Yulong Snow Mountain (the cableway is two-way to 60 yuan, and there is no student ticket). If you are lucky, you can see Yulong Snow Mountain when there is no fog. Bottom line: beautiful.

There are three ropeways on the snowy mountain, namely the middle ropeway of Maoniuping mentioned above, the small ropeway of Yunshan Ping (40 yuan) where the next bus stops, and the newly developed big ropeway (160 yuan). The first two ropeways can see the snow-capped mountains from a distance, and the latter can directly take tourists to the snowy areas of the snow-capped mountains. But relatively speaking, the middle ropeway in Maoniuping is quite cost-effective. For tourists from the north, it is not worthwhile to spend 160 yuan to see the snow. In addition, I personally think that Yulong Snow Mountain is a place that can only be viewed from a distance and cannot be used for fun. The development of ropeway is purely a group of stupid officials wasting things for vested interests. This kind of direct contact between human beings and snow-capped mountains is self-evident. Once again, I despise the tourism executives in Lijiang.

PS: No matter which ropeway, you should put on your coat. It's very cold on the mountain.

When you get off the ropeway, you can take bus No.7 (be careful not to take minibus, although they are all No.7). The ticket collection rules are: Maoniuping-Yunshanping (Baishuihe)-Lijiang City, and 5 yuan/person is collected at every two adjacent stops.

Baishui River is worth a visit. Although it is artificial, it is also beautiful. No charge.

The newly developed scenic spots such as Ganhaizi, Yushui Village and Dongba Valley on the snow-capped mountains are of little significance, especially Dongba Valley, which is a place to eat and is simply vulgar. In addition, don't trust any tour guides and businessmen easily on the snowy mountain, remember.

If you enter the Snow Mountain from downtown Lijiang, the route is the same as above, except that you have to pay the entrance fee of 120 yuan, and you will travel in the opposite direction. But don't rush into the snow-capped mountains too late, or you may have to queue for a long time by cableway.

Old Town of Lijiang is close to the new town, so you must stay in the ancient city. And don't worry, you can't change one, because it is probably the densest hotel in China. Try to give the accommodation price according to the standard of Dali ancient city.

You can listen to Naxi ancient music in the evening, but it must be hosted by Xuanke. Although some people in Yunnan academic circles think that it is not really Naxi music, due to its great fame, tickets for concerts for the elderly are still rising: A ticket 140 yuan, B ticket 120 yuan, and C ticket 100 yuan. It's up to you.

the next day

There is nothing to visit in the morning. You can go to the legendary Black Dragon Pool Park. Admission to 60 yuan is half price for students-it's better to grab it. But I heard that tickets are free before seven o'clock in the morning, and I have never tried it myself-for a normal person who has been to Bitahai and seen the whole snow mountain, what's the point of going to the so-called "park"?

I'm going to Mufu in the afternoon. Tickets are 35 yuan, student ID 20 yuan and two 35 yuan. Although the ticket price is similar to the off-season of the Forbidden City in Beijing, it is also the most standardized tourist attraction in western Yunnan. There is a free explanation at the entrance, which is quite interesting. Just pay attention: just don't follow him to buy wine and tea and draw lots to worship Buddha like in Shilin.

Solve the problem of free activities after dinner and visit Lijiang night scene. If you have petty bourgeoisie money or petty bourgeoisie temperament, then you can go clubbing. It's cool and melancholy.

the third day

The arrangement of the third day depends on everyone:

If it is daytime, the background of your photo will only be people. You can go to Shuhe ancient town after taking photos.

To go to Shuhe Ancient Town, you can rent a bicycle in the ancient city or take CMB. However, if you take CMB, don't take the special line at the entrance of the ancient city, but ask for directions and walk to Li Kelong Supermarket on Shangri-La Avenue in the new city, and take the bus at Longquan (the fare is 2 yuan). Get off at the turntable in front of Shuhe Town, then turn west on the dirt road and walk into Shuhe, so you can avoid the tickets of the ancient town of 30 yuan.

There are several ways to go home from Lijiang:

A: fly directly from Lijiang airport to your city.

B: Go back to Kunming from Lijiang first.

A) Fly back to Kunming, all tickets to 530 yuan.

B) Take the high-speed train back to Kunming, ticket 155 yuan.

PS: 1。 No matter what souvenirs you buy in Lijiang, you must bargain and give them about a quarter of the asking price.

2.7 yuan can be rented in downtown Lijiang.

Third stop Shangri-La

Shangri-La was originally mentioned by an American named Hilton in her novel The Lost Horizon. In order to develop tourism, Yunnan people renamed Zhongdian County as Shangri-La County under the guidance of experts, belonging to Diqing Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture of Yunnan Province. The Shangri-La areas we usually visit are also very light, such as Meili Snow Mountain, Haba Snow Mountain and Tiger Leaping Gorge. The area is not only high in altitude, but also inconvenient in transportation, so you should be mentally prepared before coming. Here, I only send a short version of the route guide.

On the first day,

If you go to Zhongdian in the morning, you can take CMB (ticket 3-5 yuan) to Napahai (ticket 10 yuan) at the bus station and return at noon. If you go to Zhongdian at noon, Napahai can be omitted, and there will be many such scenery afterwards.

Ask for directions in the afternoon, and walk to the No.3 bus stop (fare 1 yuan) to the destination, Kadansong Zanlin Temple. Songzanlin Temple, known as Little Potala Palace, is well worth visiting. (Tickets 10 yuan, no student tickets)

Songzanlin Temple is a Tibetan Buddhist temple, where you will experience what real Buddhist monks are like. They will not try their best to earn or deceive tourists like the secular monks in the Buddhist temples mentioned above in the tour group. All the expenses here are voluntary except the tickets. You can ask the living Buddha to touch the top and pray, or you can ask the little Lama to pray in the Hall of the Great Hero. He will give you a bracelet, and you can give incense money at will, from a few cents to hundreds.

Tickets for Songzanlin Temple are the cheapest and most value-for-money among all the scenic spots in Yunnan, but they can be avoided. After arriving at the main entrance of the temple, go straight along the stone road, enter an iron gate, and then enter the scenic spot. Save this 65,438+00 yuan and donate it to a temple or ask for a prayer wheel (the smallest 25 yuan). If polished, it will be closer to the Buddha.

The first day of the trip to Zhongdian was loosely arranged. Zhongdian is more than 2000 meters above sea level, and altitude sickness is unknown.

the next day

The famous scenic spots in Zhongdian are Bitahuan and Baishuitai, both of which are on the way to Zhongdian. But the bus is inconvenient, and it is basically chartered. It's best to gather more people when you charter a car, and then tell the driver to go directly to Daju County (near Jinsha River) and not to return to Zhongdian after swimming in Baishuitai, so you will find the beauty of the designed route after that.

Every 350 yuan -400 yuan is chartered from Zhongdian to Daju County.

Have a full meal in the morning, because lunch may be eaten with dinner.

Bitahai: A plateau meadow with grassland by the lake is beautiful. Admission fee with student ID card is half price in 30 yuan. But if you want to go to the lake, you may need to take a cruise, 30 yuan/person, and you can bargain to 20 yuan/person. However, if you don't like natural scenery very much, you can also omit cruise ships.

Baishuitai: a unique natural wonder formed by erosion. Admission fee with student ID card is half price in 30 yuan. In fact, the scenic spots are not worth that much money, or the same sentence: since I'm here ~ ~ ~

There are many restaurants coming down from Baishuitai Scenic Area, so you can walk a little further down the hill. I especially recommend a small shop called "Flavor Restaurant". The proprietress is very simple. She can be reduced a little. It's best to order a plate of Yunnan's specialty mushroom chicken fir, and you can eat it in this store for more than 10 yuan. Hum, if in Kunming, five times. After eating, I picked up two bottles of mineral water in her backyard, which was no worse than bottled water.

After eating, get on the bus and go to Daju County. The road is difficult to walk at first, but after all, "the infinite scenery is on the dangerous peak", and you will pass the Haba Snow Mountain on this road. If you are lucky, you can see snow at the top of the mountain.

When you get to Jinsha River, you will see Tiger Leaping Gorge, and all this is free.

Chartered cars can only be sent to Jinsha River. Finding a ferry (5- 10 yuan/person) will be too late to cross the river, but you have to walk a few more steps to stop near the seat of Juju Township Government. We recommend a hotel called Snowflake Hotel. Clean, the proprietress is also very enthusiastic, and meals can be provided at home, depending on the situation.

the third day

You can choose to take the Tiger Leaping Gorge-the dream of many people. Jump from the tiger to the upstream, cross the canyon between Yulong Snow Mountain and Haba Snow Mountain, and reach Lijiang. But you should be fully prepared, about two days. Tiger Leaping Gorge is also collecting tickets, but you can escape. This kind of junk ticket won't escape. I'm sorry for our superior socialist system. Methods Ask the local people.

If you are not in the mood to jump on foot, book a bus ticket to Lijiang at the hotel tomorrow; Daju 15 yuan to Maoniuping (middle ropeway), 20 yuan to Yunshan Ping, 25 yuan to Lijiang City.

Crucially, crossing the Yulong Snow Mountain in this way, we unconsciously saved 120 yuan (admission fee for 80 yuan and maintenance fee for the ancient city of 40 yuan) to enter the Snow Mountain from Lijiang. The unreasonable tickets in Lijiang continue to be despised below. Only in this way will you find out how much money you spent on chartered cars yesterday.

Supplement:

The consumption level in Yunnan is not high, except in high-end restaurants, the prices of ordinary local dishes are ok, generally vegetarian dishes are around 3-5 yuan, semi-vegetarian dishes (such as green pepper slices) are around 6-8 yuan, and home-cooked meat dishes are around 10- 12 yuan. Except for ordinary hotels in Kunming, most of Yunnan don't have recipes, and they all order directly from raw materials, so ask the price before ordering, bargain appropriately according to the above standards, and ask the waiter to write the negotiated price on the list immediately.

There are many places selling silver ornaments in Lijiang, Dali. Note that if you want to buy sterling silver, buy the kind sold by the gram. Never buy so-called Tibetan silver. You know, Tibetans call white copper silver.

To stay in Lijiang, it is better to choose a hotel near the water than to spend a few more dollars, because that is a kind of enjoyment in tourism.

When you go to Yulong Snow Mountain, some locals will advise you to ride up the mountain and make a careful decision. If you decide to ride a horse, you must boldly bargain with him.

At the ropeway entrance of Yulong Snow Mountain, there are generally people who sell oxygen and rent down jackets. Personally, I don't think it is necessary, and the situation on the mountain is not as exaggerated as I thought. But it depends on personal circumstances.

Lesbians had better bring an umbrella (rain or shine) or sunscreen when they come to Yunnan, otherwise ~ ~ ~ hehe.

pay attention to

First: students who have been to Meili Snow Mountain for 4 days should pay attention. You must not ask the innkeeper or proprietress to sign you up. Second: Never let the proprietress or boss take you to buy authentic dried yak meat, Pu 'er tea, gastrodia elata, silk scarves and the like. The dried yak meat that the proprietress took me to buy was 40 yuan a catty, and my dear bought 25 yuan next door (this was only known after the exchange). The only one in Lijiang only writes that yak meat has silk scarves on it. I don't remember the exact location. Hehe, the yak meat in that restaurant is really good. Third, don't even ask the innkeeper to book it for you.

Big Express is a good courier company I used in Yunnan. The eldest brother who received the goods was honest, positive and wrapped up tightly. The delivery speed of that courier company is also good. I sent them to Beijing, Guangzhou and Hunan successively, and they all arrived in three days. The price of express delivery by phone is 8 yuan per kilogram, and the proprietress will call you per kilogram 10 yuan.
