In recent years, Lijiang's reputation in China's tourism industry is growing day by day, and tourists at home and abroad and boys and girls are admiring this place. Here, I would like to introduce several famous scenic spots in Lijiang for you to choose from.
1. Yulong Snow Mountain
Looking up at every corner of Lijiang, you will see Yulong Snow Mountain, which is the closest snow mountain group to the equator. In the legend of Naxi nationality, Yulong Snow Mountain is the embodiment of "Three Gods", so in the eyes of Naxi nationality, Yulong Snow Mountain is a sacred mountain. Due to the vertical distribution of mountain climate, Yulong Snow Mountain is extremely rich in vegetation and natural landscape. There are alpine meadows under the snow peaks, yaks stroll leisurely by the vast virgin forests, and Tibetan girls' songs, glaciers, canyons, waterfalls and azaleas blooming at different heights are heard from time to time in the distant wooden houses. The main peak of Yulong Snow Mountain is entangled in clouds for most of the year, and there is a saying that "the dragon sees the tail but doesn't see the head".
Transportation: You can take bus No.7 from Red Sun Square near the waterwheel to Yulong Snow Mountain, or you can take a bus up the mountain from the ropeway company.
Opening hours: 8: 00 ~ 17: 00.
Special reminder: you can rent down jackets or oxygen bags on the mountain.
2. Tiger leaping gorge
After the Jinsha River turned a corner in Shigu Town, the river surface is still wide and gentle. When it meets Yulong Snow Mountain and Haba Snow Mountain lying in front of it, the river rushes across a narrow road and continues northward, forming the Tiger Leaping Gorge rapids, which is famous for its thrills.
The total length of Tiger Leaping Gorge is about 20 kilometers, with a drop of about 200 meters. It is divided into upper, middle and lower sections, with 18 shoal in the middle. This river comes from the rapids between Yulong Snow Mountain and Bajia Snow Mountain. The two snow-capped mountains are 5596 and 5396 meters above sea level respectively, with a maximum elevation difference of 3900 meters. Through such a canyon, you will experience all the thrills and magnificence.
Physiologically speaking, crossing Tiger Leaping Gorge is not as difficult as the legend says. As long as we adjust our plans, choose routes and allocate time according to our physical strength, healthy young people can complete the feat of crossing the Tiger Leaping Gorge on foot.
Tiger leaping gorge is actually half way. All the way refers to the road connecting Baishuitai and Qiaotou. Cross-country jeep can barely pass, and it often collapses in summer and autumn. The other half is because its starting point is actually a fork in the road near the Tiger Leaping Gorge Hotel. After climbing the vertical height of about 200 meters, parallel to the road, the end point is at the bridgehead, and the middle passes through "Local Bay" and "No.28 Bend".
Transportation: Lijiang Passenger Transport Center Station has 2 buses to Qiaotou Town every day. Most tourists come to Tiger Leaping Gorge to see the Tiger Leaping. The more convenient way is to charter a car in Sifang Street, and four people can charter a car for half a day, which is about 100 yuan.
Opening hours: 8: 00 ~ 17: 00.
Special reminder: Tiger Leaping Gorge should walk according to one's ability. The temperature in the canyon is high during the day, so you can bring shorts and T-shirts. Because walking consumes a lot of energy, you can bring some high-calorie foods, such as chocolate and beef jerky.
3. Dayan Ancient City
Dayan ancient city is an ancient city without walls, with smooth and clean bluestone roads, hand-built houses with civil structures, and ubiquitous bridges and flowing water, which is known as Venice of the East. In the bright sunshine, there will always be Naxi old people walking slowly in indigo clothes from distant times.
All the houses in Dayan town are built without a nail, making full use of the wooden structure of the bucket; The rational utilization of water resources is a great initiative of the ancient town. The water from Yuquan River reaches Yulong Bridge, which is divided into east, west and middle branches, and enters the urban area, forming a water system around the city, so that the river flows in front of every household, and the square street in the center is slightly convex and concave around. As soon as the sluice is closed, the overflow water will flow to every street and wash the colored stones on the ground. 1997 65438+On February 4th, Old Town of Lijiang was listed on the World Heritage List by the UNESCO World Heritage Committee.

Special reminder: If you wander around the ancient city, you might as well go to the city to listen to Naxi ancient music, which is a unique traditional music in Lijiang and very infectious.
4. Black Dragon Pool
Black Dragon Pool was once the landmark attraction of Lijiang and the seat of Dongba Cultural Research Institute. If we trace back to the source of gurgling water along Sifang Street, there is a pool of spring water at the foot of Xiangshan in the north of the ancient city, which is Black Dragon Pool, also known as Yuquan Park. Jade Dragon Snow Mountain is reflected on the surface of Black Dragon Pool, and the clear water reflects the majestic Jade Dragon. As a symbol of Lijiang, this picture is familiar to many people.
The ancient trees in Heilongtan are towering, and more than 20,000 ancient books of Dongba religion of Naxi nationality are preserved. If you are interested in Dongba language or Dongba culture, this is a must. Cross the long road in the park and go out by the back door. Lijiang County Museum is next to Wufeng Building.

The pattern of Shuhe Town is similar to that of Lijiang Old Town, just like Dayan Town has shrunk, but it is quieter, smoother with bluestone pavement and clear spring water flowing around the village. Dashiqiao and Dajue Palace, which were built in the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, are still well preserved, and the murals in them vividly depict Buddhist figures. Longquan Temple, built in Qing Dynasty, is dedicated to the founder of cobbler, because it was once the gathering place of Lijiang leather goods.
