Lijiang|Travel Guide

Lijiang📍Travel Guide (Chatty Version)|||💁‍♀️About Attractions: Lijiang Ancient Town: Offers a complete tourism service system with well-developed surrounding facilities. It's quite commercialized but features local delicacies and cultural creativity. At night, you can enjoy the folk music bar atmosphere. Shuhe Ancient Town: Smaller than Lijiang Ancient Town, more rustic with uneven cobblestone paths, dusty gravel roads, and even horse-drawn carriages. 🏔️Jade Dragon Snow Mountain: Watch the sunrise golden glow at the mountain base. Hiking enthusiasts can check in at the 4680-meter mark. Spruce Meadow and Blue Moon Valley are also great for photos. 👉Recommended to join a one-day tour (ask your homestay host—they usually have contacts). These tours provide thick clothing, oxygen tanks, and other essentials for the climb, plus include transportation, lunch, and the 100-yuan mountain entry fee (required for Jade Dragon Snow Mountain).⚠️Cable car tickets must be booked under your real name. During holidays, tickets are released a week in advance at 8 PM! Book early or you won't get up. 💁‍♀️About Accommodation: For nightlife and vibrancy, stay near Lijiang Ancient Town. The town itself has cobblestone streets, making luggage hauling difficult (recommend staying near the South or North Gate, not inside). Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️ For tranquility and nature, choose Shuhe Ancient Town (⚠️Girls, be cautious with homestays near the villa area—it's large and very dark at night). Rating: ⭐️⭐️ 💁‍♀️About Food: Jiahua Rose Pastry: Locals love these pastries with flavors like matcha, jasmine, classic rose, and Yunnan ham—all delicious. Highly recommended😍 (~5 RMB). Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Yunnan Small-Grain Coffee: Many coffee shops in the ancient town offer tastings. Pick based on preference and ask for discounts—they usually have them. Zhongyi Night Market: Inside Lijiang Ancient Town, a lively spot for Yunnan snacks like stir-fried rice noodles, corn cakes, pounded chicken feet, and pao luo da. Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️ ❌ Avoid the flashy bridge rice noodles in/around the ancient town—mediocre! Chicken rice noodles and small-pot rice noodles are better (local taxi driver-approved). 💁‍♀️About Bars: Visited D Tiao Bar and Big Ice's Little House. Big Ice's Little House: Super popular—many come for "Uncle Ice." No queue at 7 PM, long lines after 8. Tiny space with everyone gathered around the singer—cozy vibe. 40 RMB/person, re-entry allowed. Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ D Tiao Bar: Lu Ping's bar, spacious with great atmosphere. Features a lead singer + band, ~5 songs per artist. Many come for Lu Ping—he’s amazing. 100 RMB/person. Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
