Questions about traveling to Shangri-La in late August
I am here at Qianyuanju Inn in Lijiang Ancient Town, and I am familiar with your problem
It is courageous to go out to play with your parents behind your back, but you must pay attention to safety
< p>1. Whether you are traveling on a budget or not short of money, there is a way that suits you and you can have a lot of fun2. If you are not visiting Kunming and are just passing by, you can take the train to Chengdu Guangtong, Guangtong to Dali can save some unnecessary fares. It is true that tour groups generally include shopping or compulsory consumption, and there are also pure play groups at outdoor clubs, but the prices are too high and are not suitable for you.
3. Although there are airplanes from Lijiang to Shangri-La, it is generally better to take a car. The journey takes 4 hours and runs every half hour from 7 am to 5 pm. The fare is more than 60 and 70 depending on the car model. It varies. I bought two for a customer the day before yesterday, each priced at 66.
4. In terms of weather, the plateau climate is really unclear. Even if Shangri-La and Lijiang are so close, the weather may be completely different. In fact, the least thing to worry about is the weather and travel. There are places to go when it’s sunny, and there’s fun to be had when it rains.
5. The most classic attraction in Shangri-La is Pudacuo National Park, a 5A scenic spot with a ticket price of 258 and a student price of 189. Tickets for Songzanlin Temple are RMB 115 and student tickets are RMB 75. There are also Deqin and Baishui Terrace, which are too far away, so I won’t mention them here. There is a Yila Grassland Napa Sea in Shangri-La. Although there is an entrance fee, you don’t have to go in. You can rent a bicycle and ride along the road, which will be very comfortable. Songzanlin Temple, if you are not interested in Buddhism, you don’t need to go there
6. In terms of accommodation, Shangri-La’s conditions and facilities are slightly worse, and the better prices are more expensive. There are many family hotels, but the farmhouses in Chengdu are more like It’s rare. Both Shangri-La and Lijiang are in peak season now. It’s necessary to book a room in advance if you go there

Travel tips: The Old Town of Lijiang is over 2,300 meters above sea level, and the ultraviolet rays are very strong. Remember to bring sunscreen, sunglasses, hats, etc.; the stone roads in the Old Town are uneven, and it is easy to break the wheels of your suitcase, so try to use a backpack or handbag; the temperature difference between day and night in the plateau climate is It rains a lot and it becomes winter. Remember to bring a slightly thicker coat. You don’t need too many clothes. The sunshine on the plateau is warm and bright. After washing and drying, it will dry in two hours. The climate in Lijiang is relatively dry, so bathing should not be too long. It is recommended to bring Apply moisturizing water, etc.; if you are worried about altitude sickness, you can take anti-altitude sickness medicines such as rhodiola rosea half a month in advance.
In terms of shopping, Shuhe is cheaper than Dayan. Don’t rush to buy what you like, just compare more and make a unified purchase the day before leaving.
For accommodation, we recommend Qianyuanju Inn (Qiyi Street in the ancient city). When visiting surrounding attractions, it is recommended to be more careful and try to sign up for an outdoor club with a good reputation, or sign up for a group tour through the inn for an extra layer of protection.
