Miss DreamLijiang punishes everyone who doesn't plan ahead!!! I've wanted to visit Lijiang Old Town for ages! Dancing around a bonfire in the Old Town Listening to folk songs in a bar I did my research beforehand And stayed for three days and two nights, finally figuring out how to enjoy it! 🏕️Location: Lijiang Old Town 🎫Tickets: Free 24 hours a day 🚗Transportation: There's a 20 RMB bus from the airport directly to the Old Town; there are stops at both the South and North Gates. Taxis are also readily available. 📸Photo Spots in the Old Town ▪️Big Waterwheel: One of the must-see spots in Lijiang Old Town, located in Yuhe Square. A huge waterwheel, with many Dongba wishing plaques nearby. ▪️Sifang Street: Located in the center of Lijiang Old Town, connecting all the alleys. There's a bonfire party around 7 PM at the e-People's Fun Zone. ▪️ Umbrella Street: A whole street lined with oil-paper umbrellas. During the day, the sunlight makes them colorful, and at night they create a real old-street atmosphere. ▪️ Wenchang Palace or Lion Mountain Viewpoint: The viewpoint in front of Wenchang Palace offers panoramic views of Lijiang Old Town. From Lion Mountain, you can go to Wangu Tower Park for a complete view of the old town. ▪️ Qiyi Street and Wuyi Street: Food and bars. You can find a bar to listen to music in the evening. It's also a route to Mufu and Zhongyi Market. ▪️ Black Dragon Pool Park: The park is right next to Lijiang Old Town, about a 10-minute walk or a few minutes by taxi. Check the sunrise time in advance to photograph the golden sunrise on the mountain. Entry is free before 8 AM. About food: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We found "Hongxing Casserole" near Zhongyi Market. The casserole with fresh meat stewed to order was incredibly high quality! You can eat your fill for just 30 RMB per person. We ordered lamb casserole, pork rib casserole, and mushroom casserole – every flavor was delicious! 😋 Plus, the owner poured fresh chili on top, and we couldn't stop eating! About bars: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ When in Lijiang, you must experience the local folk bar culture. We chose "Waste a Life Bar," where you can enjoy the view and listen to music. The singers take turns performing, each with a different style, so you can hear a variety of songs throughout the night! 🎵 #LijiangOldTownPhotography #LijiangLocalRecommendation #LijiangTravelGuide #LijiangFood #LijiangOldTownTourismRoute #LijiangBarRecommendation #LijiangHongxingCasserole #LijiangWasteALifeBar #LijiangTourism

博😘😘肖Of the three ancient towns in Lijiang, Dayan Ancient Town is bustling with activity, its bars blaring at night; Baisha Ancient Town, near Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, has a natural filter, making it incredibly photogenic. But if you ask me which one I love most, I would unhesitatingly choose Shuhe Ancient Town—a secluded haven with sparse crowds, a river flowing through it, flowers blooming along the roadside, and willows swaying gently. Shuhe Ancient Town is neither as noisy as Dayan nor as deserted as Baisha. It strikes a perfect balance between tranquility and vibrancy, like a traditional Chinese ink painting where nature and culture blend seamlessly. Here, you can find a long-lost peace, as if time itself has slowed down. For those who enjoy quietly finding an ancient town to relax in the sun, Shuhe Ancient Town is a treasure. You can sit by the river, watching the flowing water, listening to the birdsong, and feeling the healing power of nature. Or, you can find a small shop, order a coffee, read a good book, and enjoy a rare moment of leisure.

哈巴雪山云来客栈There is a passion called climbing Haba Snow Mountain, and there is a beauty called hiking Haba Black Lake. If you haven't been here yet, make an appointment with me and take you to hike on the plateau pasture to appreciate the holy water and holy lake, or to overlook the Meili Snow Mountain, Yulong Snow Mountain, Yading Three Sacred Mountains and other snow-capped mountains from the top of Haba Snow Mountain.

It is the only surviving ancient market town on the Ancient Tea Horse Road, with a history dating back to the Yin and Shang Dynasties. It was once one of the birthplaces of Yunnan's Bronze Age culture. The ancient town features attractions such as Sideng Street, Xingjiao Temple, and an ancient stage. It boasts a rich ethnic culture, with the Bai people making up over 90% of the population, and still preserves folk festivals such as the Prince's Festival.

M10***51It's not tiring to walk up without riding a horse. The first section is steep, but the wooden plank road is easy to walk on. There are a few benches in the middle where you can rest for a while. You can see the whole picture from the treetop viewing platform. The weather is good today, the scenery is beautiful, and it is very photogenic. I bought the ticket online and had to go to the tourist center to exchange it for a paper ticket, which is a bit cumbersome and there is no point in buying the ticket online.

M57***16This is my second time to Geothermal Country, and I have a good experience every time. There are quite a lot of pools and types, including rose pool, red wine pool, milk pool, angelica pool, water park and swimming pool. The staff are very friendly and can help solve any problems in time. There is a free shuttle bus in the park, which is available on call, which is quite convenient.

Anonymous userJizu Mountain is a famous Buddhist holy site with beautiful scenery and many pilgrims. The entrance fee is reasonable, but the cable car and shuttle bus within the scenic area are expensive, and have even increased in price since then, making it not very cost-effective.
4.6/5M83***34Shuanglang Ancient Town is located in the northeastern part of Dali City, on the northeastern shore of Erhai Lake, bordering Jizu Mountain to the east. Named for its "two islands and two bends," it was an important military stronghold of the Nanzhao and Dali Kingdoms. It gathers the essence of the Cangshan and Erhai scenery, featuring attractions such as Nanzhao Folk Island and Yuji Island. Yang Liping's Sun Palace and Moon Palace are also located here. The ancient town preserves historical and cultural blocks from the Ming and Qing dynasties and traditional Bai ethnic residences, exuding rich ethnic customs and earning it the reputation of "the No. 1 town for Cangshan and Erhai scenery."
4.3/5M22***03There weren't too many tourists. A stroll was very pleasant, and the photos taken at Butterfly Spring were surprisingly good. We even caught the 11 pm performance, which, while not professional, had its own unique charm. Pretty good.
