Lijiang three days and two nights travel plan

🌟 You can arrange a one-day trip to Yakping, Yunshanping, Blue Moon Valley, and Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. These attractions require an entrance fee of 100 yuan per person (excluding cable car fees). 💰The mountain entrance fee is collected on site when entering the scenic area, and the cable car fee can be booked on the "Lijiang Tourism Group" official account one day in advance. The cable car fees to Yunshanping and Yaoniuping are 60 yuan/person and 65 yuan/person respectively; the cable car fee to Yulong Snow Mountain is 140 yuan/person. The cost of taking the tourist bus and sightseeing bus is included in the cable car fee and no separate payment is required. ⏰You can choose to spend half a day at Yak Ping and Blue Moon Valley, and the second half of the day at Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. It is relatively cool to hike in Yak Ping in the morning, and relatively warm to climb Jade Dragon Snow Mountain in the afternoon. It also avoids the morning fog and the inability to see the view at the top of the mountain. Blue Moon Valley is even more beautiful when the sun comes out at noon, and the color of the lake is even more photogenic. 🗓️Three days and two nights itinerary can be arranged: Day 1: Shuhe Ancient Town, Lijiang Old Town, Lijiang Ancient Scenery Area; Day 2: Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, Yak Terrace, Yunshan Terrace, and Blue Moon Valley; Day 3: Rizhao Jinshan Mountain, Yushui Village, and Baisha Ancient Town. 🏨Accommodation can be arranged according to the itinerary for the next day. Baisha Ancient Town is closer to Jade Dragon Snow Mountain and is the first choice, but there are fewer accommodations and the prices are higher than in the ancient city. It is recommended to choose a more comfortable one. You can watch the snow-capped mountains, sunrise and sunset, and bask in the sun in the local courtyard. 🚍There is a special bus to the Lijiang Qianguqing Scenic Area, and there are free bus stops in Lijiang Ancient Town and Shuhe Ancient Town. (If you miss it, a taxi from Lijiang Ancient Town to Qianguqing costs about 16 yuan and the journey takes about 20 minutes.) The scenic area is one-ticket-all, and there are many folk performances such as bamboo pole dance and recruiting a son-in-law. The scenic area is full of characteristics and is very photogenic. ⚠️Notes: Yulong Snow Mountain is 4,680 meters above sea level. After taking the glacier cableway up the mountain, you still need to hike 174 meters to reach the summit. Due to the altitude, mountain climbing is very physically demanding. Before going up the mountain, you can purchase oxygen cylinders and light, high-calorie foods such as Snickers as needed. 👕 Dress: If the sun is out during the climb, it won't be very cold, but if the sun sets after reaching the top, the temperature difference will be large. You can adjust your clothes according to your personal constitution and focus on comfort. ⏳ Plan your time to go down the mountain reasonably to avoid waiting in line during the peak hours on the way back down the mountain. I went there during the off-peak season, and I waited for over an hour at the cable car entrance before I could get on the cable car. 🌄 Golden Mountain in the Sunlight: Check the sunrise time the day before. You can refer to the sunrise time on Apple Weather, which is relatively accurate. The viewing point can be navigated to Dongba Valley Town. There are several small lakes at the foot of the mountain on the left side of entering Dongba Valley Town, which are excellent camera positions. 🏘️About several ancient towns: Lijiang Ancient Town is suitable for strolling at night, with beautiful night views and abundant delicious food. Shuhe Ancient Town is less commercialized than Lijiang Ancient Town and the prices are relatively reasonable. Baisha Ancient Town is highly recommended! There are many interesting small shops with unique styles. It is close to the snow-capped mountains and has many photo-taking spots, making it suitable for strolling in the morning and evening. #Rizhao Jinshan #Lijiang Travel #Jade Dragon Snow Mountain
