Lijiang’s recent tourism news:
Due to the long-lasting rain some time ago, Lugu Lake and Zhonghu Leaping Gorge (belonging to Shangri-La) are still in a state of landslide, including our A All travel agencies, including Latin, have stopped sending tour groups to Lugu Lake and Tiger Leaping Gorge, but other itineraries other than these two places will not have any impact. In addition, the visibility of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain has been low recently, so you can decide whether to go there after arriving in Lijiang.
Lijiang tourism in August is mainly for students and families, so it will be a colorful tourism season.
Weather:
In Lijiang in July, the weather is still mainly sunny, but the rain has become more frequent, with showers and mountain rain mainly occurring, and occasionally it rains for several days in a row. Mildew weather, this season, if you look at the weather forecast, it rains almost every day in Lijiang. This is a normal phenomenon. However, in fact, the weather in Lijiang is only sunny for a few days and a few showers. If it rains every day, then Lijiang It will not be so dry and arid; therefore, the weather will rarely affect your itinerary and you can play with confidence.
Accommodation:
If you are traveling to Lijiang at this time, it is recommended that you book your accommodation in advance, otherwise it will be more troublesome to find a place to stay. Accommodation prices will generally rise in August, and the prices will change every few days. Therefore, it is best to book accommodation in advance. However, one week to half a month in advance is most suitable. It does not mean that the earlier you book, the better. The better the hotel is, the more likely it is that the hotel will change temporarily if you book it too far in advance, because no one knows how many people will come during the peak season. Once the price you book is different from the market price at that time, If it is too big, it will be very troublesome if they ask you to add money or find an excuse to cancel your order temporarily. Moreover, when booking a room at this time, try to pay half of the deposit or the full payment, because you often only need to pay a verbal reservation. It will be just a waste of words; try to choose a transaction method that is beneficial to you, such as Alipay, otherwise, when the time comes, you will have no room to live in after paying the money, and you will suffer a loss!
During the peak season, when you book a room online, you will find that many inns say that the rooms are fully booked. In fact, many inns will not reserve all the rooms, but will reserve a certain number of rooms for use. It is sold now, because the booked room price cannot be changed, and the profit of the room sold now is more real than that of the reservation, and there is no need to worry about no one staying in the room during the peak season; of course, if it is a very remote inn, it is another matter.
In short, it is impossible to fill all the inns in the streets of Lijiang Old Town. There is not much difference between finding an inn now and booking one in advance. Looking for an inn now will definitely not run out of rooms. Book an inn in advance. , the price is not necessarily that cheap, so just choose the way that suits you to arrange accommodation, there is no need to worry too much!

3. Jade Dragon Snow Mountain
In July, the snow scene of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain is no longer the main scenery. It makes no sense to go simply for the snow scene. Of course, Blue Moon Valley and Baishui River are still the main attractions of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. The most nostalgic attraction in the snowy mountains, the impression of Lijiang is still shocking. Is the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain worth the high ticket price? This is a question that has always troubled many tourists. However, there is nothing I can do about such a personal issue.
4. Lashihai
Starting from July, the scenery of Lashihai becomes more and more beautiful. It is very nice to ride on horseback and walk along the Ancient Tea Horse Road with the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers. The breeze blows on your face while rowing. It feels very pleasant, but don’t go to Lashihai if it rains. It’s not safe to ride a horse.
5. Zhonghutiao,
At this time, Zhonghutiao is majestic and spectacular due to the sufficient amount of water. It is worth a visit. However, it often collapses, so before going I’ll check it out in a day or two and see if I can play it!

Due to the weather in July, the chance of seeing the Meili Snow Mountain and the Golden Mountain is not high, but the scenery along the way is very good; compared with the Meili Snow Mountain, the rain The scenery is becoming more and more beautiful, but for these high-altitude scenic spots with long distances, please do your best!

You can search a lot of snacks and various delicacies in Lijiang Old Town on the Internet, so I won’t go into details. However, I suggest that when you eat snacks in the Old Town, try to choose vegetarian options. Please try to eat as little or as little as possible on all kinds of kebabs, otherwise, the chance of getting upset is too high! When you come to Lijiang in July, it’s best to eat light food, otherwise, you’ll easily get angry!

Maybe the weather was sunny at the beginning when you were visiting the scenic spots, but within a few minutes it started to rain heavily, and you had no time to hide. If you become a drowned rat, the umbrella you brought will not be of much use at this time. If you get wet and have no clothes to change, it will be enough for you. Therefore, going to scenic spots in July is not a day trip. Please try not to travel lightly when playing, otherwise, if you are unlucky and encounter bad weather, it will be uncomfortable!
2. In July, the scenery of various scenic spots around Lijiang becomes more and more charming.

For you You can fully enjoy the beautiful scenery. When visiting scenic spots, it is recommended that you don’t wear short skirts or pants, and try not to expose yourself too much; otherwise, your snow-white thighs will attract many unknown and lustful bugs before they attract the attention of the opposite sex. Harassment, only when I feel a little itchy, I realize that I have been bitten horribly. When something like this happens, you really can’t blame the bugs. Flowers and plants are their home, and you brought them to your door. What’s their fault? ! Therefore, during the tour, for taking pictures and other reasons, please do not walk into the dense flowers and grass, because that is where the most bugs and other animals are, and it is easy for small bugs to crawl on you. This is also the case for most people. Unbearable situation.
3. Please try to book round-trip train tickets or air tickets in advance. Otherwise, the chance of buying tickets now is very small. Failure to buy tickets will delay time and affect the itinerary, which is not worth it!
4. When you start visiting scenic spots in July, please pay attention to whether the return time conflicts with the time you leave Lijiang that day.
