Will Lijiang be cold in April?
The main scenic spots around Lijiang are the Glacier Park Yulong Snow Mountain, the unrestrained and beautiful primitive Lugu Lake, the Lashihai where migratory birds gather in wetlands, the ancient tea-horse road passing through virgin forests, the open grassland Shangri-La, the invincible Meili Snow Mountain, the Qiangui Mountain with Danxia landform, the Laojun Mountain with rich vegetation and ecology, the Tiger Leaping Gorge, a hiking holy place, and the stone village where generations have lived on huge stones.

I suggest you come to Lijiang and don't take any day trips to Lijiang. It'll be like driving a duck. It's not fun at all. Even if it is the first time to come to Lijiang, it is enough to find a trusted innkeeper to provide advice, which is both economical and fun. We can organize places around the four-day route.
I suggest you don't ride a horse on the snowy mountain. Even if you want to go to a high-altitude scenic spot over 3 thousand meters, you must stay in Lijiang for a few days to adapt to the transition period of altitude sickness. Different seasons are suitable for visiting different scenic spots, so we will give you some suggestions. Lijiang has many natural scenery, which is suitable for many tours. I suggest you don't visit all the famous scenic spots at once. On the one hand, time and energy are limited. On the other hand, if you visit a scenic spot in the wrong season, you will lose the fun of truly experiencing the classics. For example, Yulong Snow Mountain is often blocked by heavy fog in 10, so it's still boring for you to visit at this time. I'm going to visit Sunshine Snow Mountain in that season. It's better to play the scenic spots suitable for the season first, and the unsuitable scenic spots will come again next time.
One thing to be reminded is that please understand the relatively simple living facilities in the local area with a tolerant attitude and respect the folk customs of ethnic minorities. Although the natural scenery around Lijiang is charming, travel and play will still be affected by factors such as weather changes and personal preferences. Please make some psychological preparations appropriately.
To visit the scenic spot, it is best to find a trusted innkeeper to contact the chartered car and other matters. Because the inn is continuously operated by repeat customers and word of mouth, it will be responsible to the guests to the end. The inn strongly recommends that you don't go out to play when it rains, and don't arrange your time too tightly like chasing ducks. For example, during this time, the snow-capped mountains are often blocked by fog, but they are suitable for riding. Then go to Lashihai or Shangri-La first, and then go to see the snow-capped mountains next time. Wouldn't it be better to spend four or five hundred dollars to see a fog? In fact, there are many natural scenery in Lijiang. You will be very happy if you choose a scenic spot suitable for the season. There is no need to be too demanding.
Tip: The rainy season in July and August in Lijiang is very cold all the year round, and other times are similar. It needs to put on a coat sooner or later, and it is comfortable to wear a T-shirt in the sun during the day. But it often rains for a few minutes from time to time in Lijiang during the day. Lijiang has a dry climate. In fact, a little rain can moisten the air, but Lijiang needs a coat when it rains.
