Blooming Beauty in Lijiang

#chinatrip Lion Hill isn’t just about history—it’s also a paradise for nature lovers! While exploring, I was enchanted by the blooming flowers scattered across the hill. From clusters of purple wisteria to bright pink azaleas, the vibrant colors added a romantic charm to the entire trail. The peaceful pavilions along the way offered a perfect spot to rest while enjoying the surrounding beauty. When I finally reached Wangu Tower, the scene became even more majestic. Seeing these flowers against the backdrop of traditional Chinese architecture was a feast for the eyes! If you visit, make sure to bring a camera. Trust me, you’ll want to capture every moment of this colorful escape.

Enchanting Yunnan: Lijiang, Dali & Shangri-La Highlights 🏔️⛩️🍃 Journey through Yunnan’s dreamscape with this three-city adventure—where ancient towns, alpine vistas, and Tibetan charm greet you at every turn! Start in Lijiang Old Town, wandering stone lanes and crossing charming bridges. Don’t miss the view from Lion Hill for a classic “rooftops and snow mountains” shot—morning light is unbeatable for photos! Sip Yunnan coffee in a courtyard café, and if time allows, stroll Black Dragon Pool Park for mountain reflections. Next, hop to Dali and cycle beside Erhai Lake (bike rental stands near the lake entrance). The Three Pagodas offer dramatic symmetry—try the reflection shot from the east side. Be sure to explore Dali Ancient Town’s lively music bars at sunset. Sample the local rushan cheese—it’s unique to Dali. Finish up in Shangri-La, with a sunrise visit to Songzanlin Monastery for surreal golden hues. Old Town makes for magical evening strolls (watch for lantern-lit alleys!). Head to Napa Lake if it’s migration season to spot wild birds. Dress warmly—Shangri-La’s altitude brings chilly evenings, even in summer! Tips: Start your days early to dodge crowds and catch golden morning light for photos. Altitude in Shangri-La can be tough—pace yourself and bring layers. For intercity travel, try booking advance tickets via trip.com for seamless bus/train rides. Don’t rush—each town deserves savoring. #Yunnan #Lijiang #Dali #ShangriLa #TravelChina
