Yunnan Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
Lijiang Ancient City Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
After visiting Lijiang Ancient Town ten times, I've devised a three-day, two-night walking tour itinerary
Lijiang is a city that can heal the soul, with its snow-capped mountains, lakes, and ancient towns crisscrossed by streams and bridges, hiding the fireworks of everyday life. Being here and blending in feels like returning to the origin of the world, to a time long, long ago. That's why Zhao and I have come to Lijiang no less than ten times and still often long to return.
Each time we visit Lijiang, we arrange to stay in the Ancient Town area for a few days and explore the days and nights of the old city on foot.
This time we stayed at the Anyu Hotel in Lijiang Ancient Town, where the simple and tasteful decor allows one to fully immerse in the charm of antiquity, and their afternoon tea and breakfast are particularly rich.
▶️Here's the three-day, two-night off-the-beaten-path itinerary we personally tested, perfect for those staying in the ancient town and accessible entirely on foot:
Day1: After checking into Anyu Hotel in the afternoon, you can first enjoy their afternoon tea, and then in the evening, walk into the ancient town towards Black Dragon Pool Park, which takes about 40 minutes. You will pass through the main street of the entire ancient town, where you can stroll and take photos at leisure. By sunset, you'll reach Black Dragon Pool Park, just in time to see the golden hour over Jade Dragon Snow Mountain...
Day2: After breakfast at the hotel, you can start your day exploring the ancient town. First, head towards Sifang Street, where you can find 'Oil Umbrella Street' (where the entire street is lined with oil-paper umbrellas for beautiful photos). It looks great both in the morning and evening, so you can visit early and return later. Then navigate to Lion Hill or Mu's Residence to overlook Lijiang Ancient Town. In the evening, go to Dayan Huaxiang, which is very dreamy when lit up at night.
Day3: If you can get up early, walk through the ancient town to Black Dragon Pool Park and Qingxi Reservoir to see the sun shining on the golden mountain. In the evening, head towards Zhongyi Market, where the night market is very distinctive at night, offering many authentic delicacies such as grilled bait blocks, grilled milk fans, cactus fruit, chicken bean jelly, and local chicken rice noodles, etc...

Just returned from a trip to Lijiang, here is my personal itinerary, sharing with you sisters👭:
Day1: Beizun LINKA (Baisha Ancient Town)
●Location: Located in Baisha Ancient Town, you can see the snow-capped mountains from the window, and cars can drive directly to the door in the off-season.
●Features: The architecture is Tibetan-style, with a leisurely life atmosphere, and the air is very fresh.

●Features: Very quiet, not noisy, the decoration is Chinese-style courtyard style. And it is a coffee-themed homestay, you can experience hand-brewed coffee at 10 am.
●Itinerary: It's not far from Baisha to the ancient city. After checking in at the hotel and having afternoon tea, I went out to stroll around Lijiang Ancient City, then came back for dinner, and the housekeeper had already warmed up the room in advance.
Day3: Duopolin·Damei Huasu (Big Waterwheel Store)
●Location: Located in the ancient town, you can take a car directly to the door, which is very convenient.

This time I chose the homestay of Damei Huasu, it's very worry-free!
There is a private one-on-one service butler, he will remind you of the time for afternoon tea and evening sweet soup and breakfast, and will ask if you need night bed service.
Carrying luggage at the door, there are tea, desserts and fruit plates in the store, princess-like treatment, it's simply too comfortable!

Dali Ancient City Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
🇨🇳Travel to Dali: Finding Peace in Paradise
#chinatrip
Just came back from Dali- a chill town that has left an indelible mark on me. I can't forget the serene beauty, the welcoming places to stay, and the delightful local cuisine that made my visit truly unforgettable.🥹 Here’s my recommendation if you happens to visit Dali:
🏨 Hotel to stay:
📍大理青橙小院 Dali Qingcheng Xiaoyuan(Trip.com)
🗒️No. 60, Society 7, Yangbo Village Committee, Yinqiao Town, Dali City, Dali, Yunnan
Price: Around 75sgd per night
Rating: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
🩷Located near the peaceful er sea and just a 10-minute ride from Dali Ancient Town, complete with friendly staff and complimentary pick-up from Dali Railway Station. Its proximity to the lake offered easy access to picturesque bicycle trails, making it an ideal base for exploring and unwinding in Dali.
🍽️ Food to eat in Dali Ancient City
1. 幸会小仙女·自助石板烧·野生菌火锅(大当家店)
📍Beside 洱海门
Price: around $10+ per pax
Known for its mushroom hotpot, this dining spot prides itself on a broth that's rich, aromatic, and deeply flavorful, perfectly complementing the array of fresh ingredients available for dipping. The standout feature truly is the mushroom soup base, a testament to the chef's skill in harnessing the essence of local wild mushrooms to create a broth that's both comforting and complex. The ingredients are fresh too. 😙
2. 大理老渔家白族石板烧
📍玉洱路
Price: around $10+ per pax
Stone grilling elevates cooking to an art form here. Ingredients, fresh from Dali's landscapes, are seared on heated stones, ensuring flavors are locked in with a perfect, crispy outer texture. This method not only cooks food evenly but also infuses it with a unique, earthy essence. The two pax meal is just enough for two of us without ordering more. 😋
Dali is such a food paradise and I can’t wait to visit it again!

The above time includes the travel time and is a very flexible way of traveling.

●Itinerary: It's not far from Baisha to the ancient city. After checking in at the hotel and having afternoon tea, I went out to stroll around Lijiang Ancient City, then came back for dinner, and the housekeeper had already warmed up the room in advance.
Day3: Duopolin·Damei Huasu (Big Waterwheel Store)
●Location: Located in the ancient town, you can take a car directly to the door, which is very convenient.
●Style: It's like a landscape painting, with a sense of Jiangnan misty rain.
●Itinerary: Yulong Snow Mountain, it is recommended to choose the Glacier Park Cableway (Big Cableway), we chose this one to climb the snow mountain, see the vertical distribution of snow mountain plants, altitude 4500 meters; the lake water in Blue Moon Valley is as blue as a gem, very stunning, must go; Recommended route: Ganhaizi→Big Cableway→Blue Moon Valley.
This time I chose the homestay of Damei Huasu, it's very worry-free!

Carrying luggage at the door, there are tea, desserts and fruit plates in the store, princess-like treatment, it's simply too comfortable!
⚠️Details that must be paid attention to
1⃣️ The temperature difference between day and night in Lijiang is large, it is recommended to prepare both thick and thin clothes
2⃣️ The ultraviolet rays are strong during the day, and you need to pay attention to sun protection for outdoor activities
After returning from Lijiang, I plan to spend the rest of my life opening a guesthouse in Lijiang
Upon my first arrival in Lijiang, the afterglow fills every corner of the ancient city. This small town, known as the 'Venice of the East', is like a flowing scroll. In the alleys, stone paths lead to secluded shops, and every turn seems to tell an old story.
The people of Lijiang are filled with enthusiasm and kindness, welcoming every visitor with the most sincere smiles. And the food here is even more memorable. The fragrant butter tea, the crispy outside and tender inside crossing bridge rice noodles, the rich sour fish soup, each bite is telling the style of Lijiang.
Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. Like a huge screen, it stands in the northeast of Lijiang. The mountain peaks shine with silver under the sun, like a winding jade dragon. When climbing, although tired, every step is closer to the snow mountain, the feeling of excitement and anticipation is full of motivation. When reaching the top, the sea of clouds is surging, the sky is blue, it feels like being in a fairyland.
Black Dragon Pool Park. The pool water is as green as jade, reflecting the surrounding green trees and mountains. By the pool, people gather in twos and threes, either fishing or chatting, enjoying this tranquility and comfort. Walking on the quaint stone bridge, watching the fish swimming in the water, it seems that time has stopped at this moment.
White Water Pool. The waterfall here is like a galaxy falling from the sky, awakening everyone's soul. The water splashes, the sun refracts, forming a brilliant rainbow, which is amazing. The pool water is clear and the fish can be counted. Leaning in the pavilion, listening to the sound of the waterfall, looking at the beautiful scenery of the White Water Pool, it is refreshing.
The trip to Lijiang, the style of the ancient city, the majesty of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, the tranquility of Black Dragon Pool, the agility of White Water Pool, all left us a deep impression. This is a baptism of the soul and a feast for the eyes. The beauty of Lijiang lies not only in its natural scenery and cultural landscape, but also in its unique atmosphere and feeling - the kind that makes people excited, nostalgic, and want to come again.
Goodbye, Lijiang. We set off on our return journey with full of emotion and memory. Lijiang, I will come again! When I come again, I will open a guesthouse at the foot of the Jade Dragon, feed the horses every day, chop wood, and look at the snow mountain!
Jade Dragon Snow Mountain is really beautiful (be sure to make a strategy in advance)
Don't go to Jade Dragon Snow Mountain without a good strategy!

Hsi-Chou Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
My first stop in Yunnan - Dali
Shijiazhuang - Kunming - Dali
I made a lot of travel plans before finalizing the itinerary. I was very lucky to have almost no disappointments - sharing and recording my travel itinerary
🚥Transportation: We flew ✈️ to Kunming and went directly 🚘 to Dali on the same day (actually, the original plan was to take the high-speed train, but we missed it. The high-speed train would have been faster and cheaper)
🏠Accommodation: We stayed near the Dali ancient town. Inside the town, transportation is not convenient, so staying nearby is very nice. The prices are very good, 100+ per day can get you a very, very nice homestay. Since we arrived at night, we booked for three days and it still wasn't enough! The location is convenient for going anywhere~
🗾Itinerary: On the first day, we chose to be in Haixi. Starting from Longkan Pier, we cycled along the coast 🚴🏻♀️. The two of us rode shared electric bikes. We did some research on this because you can't enter the ecological corridor with rented electric bikes. But the ecological corridor is worth visiting! So riding an electric bike is a better option 💰15/h. There are many parking spots. We passed all the scenic spots along the way, and the whole road is super beautiful! I kept exclaiming how beautiful it was, all the way to Xizhou. We took a tricycle to Xizhou Ancient Town. During the entire cycling trip, we stopped anytime to take photos and check in, which was particularly comfortable. ⚠️But everyone must, must pay attention to sun protection! If the sun is strong, you really can get sunburned! After strolling enough in Xizhou, you can take a bus directly back to the ancient town. In the evening, eat something near the ancient town and sleep beautifully~
On the second day, we chose to rent a Wuling Hongguang mini to go around the eastern part of the sea. The whole process was also along the coast. Renting a small electric car is what we think is the most cost-effective and comfortable way to travel. We could stop anytime to check in and then continue on our way~ 150km of battery life is completely enough. We went all the way to Shuanglang~ Then in the evening, we returned along the coast. The navigation was also very convenient. We drove while enjoying the seaside sunset
✌🏻The two-day itinerary basically ended like this. We could go to all the places we wanted to visit. On the third morning, we took the high-speed train/bus to Lijiang. We chose to 🚘 (because my boyfriend 💩 caused us to miss the high-speed train). I advise everyone to just go for it! You won't regret it once you go, and the cost of living is really not high
⚠️Remember! You must pay attention to sun protection! Definitely!
