a, tips:
1. must carry: sunscreen, sunglasses, ski shirt (if you go to the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain) and umbrellas; medicines do not have to bring too much, the old city entrance to the drugstore; thin jackets should be brought, the equatorial climate of the temperature difference between day and night is large.
2. The best time to book a flight is 3-5 days in advance, too early instead of small discounts.
Arrival:
A taxi from the airport to the entrance of Lijiang Ancient City costs 80 yuan (including tolls), 30-40 minutes. Usually inns are arranged to have a transfer to the inn, 50 yuan can be. But to contact in advance.
Airport bus: in the airport exit door on the left, 15 yuan / person, about 40 minutes to the downtown terminal Shangri-La Avenue on the Civil Aviation Ticket Office, but away from the ancient city is still three kilometers away, taxi starting fee of 7 yuan can be to the ancient city parking lot.
The entrance to the old city is the big water car, the big water car is the main gate, tourists are here to get off. The city is the main gate, where tourists get off the bus and enter the city.
Tips:
1. There are N banks in Lijiang Old Town, and there are four major banks' savings centers or ATMs just on one street, East Street. Credit card cash is very convenient;
2. The ancient city are bumpy stone road, trolley bags are very inconvenient, try not to bring trolley bags, will pull the bad, and is not too big box, out of the travel with too many things will increase the burden, try to simple;
3. The ancient city can not ride a bicycle, out of the city or to go to the closer attractions only need to rent a bicycle. There are many places to rent a bike, there is one in the Red Sun Plaza, the general rent is 10-20 yuan a day. Depends on the quality of the car.
Two, live:
Of course it is to live in the old city, this also need to say it. There are about 1000 inns in the ancient city, big and small, but the ones with a good reputation are actually not many. In the ancient city inn is very much, divided into the mountain, the mountain, the mountain inn is not high, but if it is a trolley box must be carried up. It is best to book first, and then the inn will let the car pull you to the designated location, then they will send someone to pick up, will also help carry the box, it is very hassle-free. Various prices are available. In the peak season when the room is more scarce, the price will also rise; off-season time is relatively loose, the price will be lower, more choice.
Three, eat:
City:A Li Li snacks: in the road leading to the Mufu, Naxi stew and so on. This is the best one in the old city, highly recommended. Good quality and cheap. Mixed pot dishes must eat, tree flower scrambled eggs are also very good. Cost-effective very good
Dashiqiao snacks: New Street Sifang Street No. 5 soybean noodles can be counted as the first face of Lijiang. Noodles translucent, ancestral secret recipe made
Authentic Lijiang Poop: Mufu down the seven star Poop, sweet delicious, and freshly squeezed ghee tea. A few very simple Tibetan girls. Lina inn in front of the rose poi flavor can also be, over the bridge rice noodles said to be a real Mengzi people open, but the taste is general.
Chickpea cold noodles more positive in the Dashiqiao down the river thirty steps of the wooden bridge
Jixian snack store: back to the four sides of the street, standing on the Dashiqiao, under the bridge, a left and a right there are two roads, the right side of the road forward
outside the city
Black goat hot pot: to the Changshui Road. Local drivers know it. A street is full of them. The one called Ah Shou is the most authentic.
Dog meat: also on Changshui Road, just a few dozen meters further across the street diagonally from where you eat the lamb. Look around a little and you'll see it. Very good. You can't get such good dog meat in the big city.
La rib: Xiangshan Market. Go in and ask again, in that small road around the corner of the first, there is a very long blue signboard, Yujie snacks and so on, the wall is full of preserved ribs. The locals are very enthusiastic, we asked a little girl personally led us there. The owner is a 40-year-old sister, told us that they do the high cost of preserved pork ribs (ribs than meat is a lot more expensive), one and a half kilograms of ribs can be done a kilogram of preserved pork ribs.
Ham and chicken: Xiangshan Shanxi Road, taxi 8 yuan, the driver knows
Four, line:
New City cab starts 7 yuan, to go to any place in the city are generally in the starting fee up and down. The ancient city can rent bicycles, but only out of the city can ride; to attractions the best way is to charter a car, you can find someone to share the package.

●Mu Wangfu
The royal residence of the Naxi Tusi before the Qing Dynasty's reorganization in 1723. Mu Wangfu is a miniature Imperial Palace. Xu Xiake once marveled at the Wooden House, said: "the beauty of the palace, to be compared to the king". Can be seen in ancient times the Wooden Mansion of the grandeur. Now the Wooden House is the 1996 earthquake, the World Bank loaned huge sums of money to help, after three years of efforts to rebuild. From the ancient city of Sifang Street along the seven streets to the east walking about 200 meters to meet the right side of the doorway of the Guanmen Square, into the doorway of the Guanmen straight ahead for 100 meters is the wooden king's house, the ticket is 35 yuan, you need to show the ancient city maintenance fee ticket.
●Wangu Lou: It is the first wooden structure building in China. In fact, it is a good place to see the panoramic view of the ancient city, the ticket price of 15 yuan. Wangu Lou in the lion mountain, afraid of climbing can take a taxi to go, you can also from the Sifang Street along the streets over the lion mountain walking climb to the Wangu Lou (30 minutes), but the best way is to visit the wooden house along the stone steps climbing (lion mountain in the period of the Ming please wood Tuji that is for the wooden house of the backyard), so that you can be climbing, while watching the scenery.

The reflection of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain is beautiful when you take pictures there on a sunny day. Photography enthusiasts must go to the place. The water is so sweet that you can drink it directly. There is no entrance fee, but you need to show the receipt of the ancient city maintenance fee.
2, Shuhe Ancient Town
Shuhe was selected by CCTV in 2005 "China's charming town". Generally speaking, it is quieter and more rustic than the ancient town of Dayan. The developer bought out all the farmland owned by the local residents before developing Shuhe, and then returned the farmland to the residents for free, but the condition is that organic vegetables must be planted. As a result, Shuhe is more idyllic than Danyan, but the Shuhe International Bar Area, which is under construction, may change that.
Shuhe is divided into an old area and a new area. The old district refers to the area west of Qinglong Bridge and near the old Sifang Street, an ancient village with a history of more than 800 years. The most interesting is the Ming Wanli years built Qinglong ancient stone bridge, and Shuhe residents rely on the survival of the spring Jiuding Longtan. Once saw a tourist let a small child to the creek to pee, selling cakes, Shuhe residents tourists drink that water ah, does he really think that children's urine can cure all diseases?
Shuhe's ticket is 50 yuan, but a bit of a sham, the management is relatively loose, may be the Golden Week or peak season will be a little more strict. The main reason for this is that it's not easy to get out of the city, and you can even get in through the main gate, or you can get in through the road from Yuerongzhuang, which is usually not guarded. In short, you don't have to be afraid of the ticket problem when you go to Shuhe on weekdays, but you may have to break the 50 yuan during Golden Week and summer vacation.
Taking a taxi from Dayan is about 20 yuan (6 kilometers), a 15-minute drive. You can also go by bike for about an hour. Don't worry about getting lost, ride on the widest road in Lijiang - Xueshanzhong Road looking at the snow-capped mountains, and you'll see the sign for Shuhe when you get to the end.

The 2-kilometer-long Baisha Old Street ancient village, Ming and Qing Dynasty architectural complexes and Baisha murals are its attractions.

Although the elevation of the main peak is only 5600 meters, but so far has not been conquered by mankind.

The price of the ticket is well, we refer to the previous list on the good.
Here is a special recommendation - "Impression Lijiang".
"Impression of Lijiang" is Zhang Yimou to the main peak of the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain as a natural backdrop for the creation of a large-scale song and dance drama performed by hundreds of people on the same stage, very spectacular and very grand, I went to see two times, and once encountered an old gentleman actually moved to tears by the performance, I dizzy.
