Sisters who come to Lijiang for tourism in June and July without a strategy really shouldn't go

🏔️ Lijiang carries the scenery and lifestyle that many people yearn for, for those who want to travel to Lijiang, Liu Yifei and Peng Yuyan have prepared a Lijiang travel guide, hoping it will be helpful to you 🏔️ ⚠️ Tips and advice to avoid pitfalls ⚠️ ✔️ The summer vacation is the peak season for tourism. If you travel during this period, please book hotels or homestays in advance, preferably 5-10 days, otherwise, the prices will be much higher. ✔️ Do not take unlicensed taxis near the airport or train station, as it's easy to get scammed. Try to order online instead, and many homestays also offer airport transfer services, which can be arranged in advance. ✔️ Do not believe those who offer to take you to Lashi Lake from the entrance of Zhongyi Market for 10 yuan, as they are often unlicensed and unsafe. ✔️ Be wary of sales tactics when horse riding on the Tea Horse Ancient Road at Lashi Lake, and refuse things you don't need. ✔️ Compared to the hustle and bustle of Lijiang Old Town, Shuhe Ancient Town is quieter and closer to everyday life. ✔️ Baisha Ancient Town is not big and has only one main street, which can be strolled through in an hour, suitable for finding a cafe with a view of the snow-capped mountains to sit in. ✔️ There are many bars in Lijiang Old Town, but there are also many scams. Do not easily trust chance encounters in the old town. ✔️ When traveling to Lijiang, be sure to bring both light and warm clothing, as the weather changes rapidly here. ✔️ Sun protection‼️ Sun protection‼️ Still sun protection‼️ Lijiang's ultraviolet rays are indiscriminate, and ladies should definitely carry sunscreen, sunglasses, umbrellas, etc. ✔️ Do not go to the snow mountain if you have a cold, as pulmonary edema can be very dangerous. ✔️ Do not engage in strenuous exercise when climbing Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, it is advised to move slowly, and prepare oxygen bottles before going up the mountain (winter is the best season for sisters who want to see the sun shining on the golden mountain). ✔️ The water in Blue Moon Valley is not drinkable, as it contains copper ions and cannot be consumed directly. ✔️ The average temperature in Lijiang from June to July is 15°C-30°C, with strong outdoor ultraviolet radiation and a large temperature difference between morning and evening, so pay more attention to dressing warmly to prevent colds. ✔️ For fruits, go to Zhongyi Market or Xiangshan Market, as the fruits in the old town are really expensive. ✔️ Never trust low-priced tour groups, as there are many hidden costs, be sure to choose a pure play group.
