I want to travel to Lijiang or Liupanshui in summer. Where is more fun? Any suggestions?

Invited by Xie: Summer vacation in Liupanshui, Guizhou is better than that in Old Town of Lijiang, Yunnan, while Old Town of Lijiang is a world cultural heritage and tourism in Lugu Lake, Chenghai and Wenhai, such as spring, autumn and winter festivals, is more fun than Liupanshui as follows.

Lijiang is an ancient city.

There are many scenic spots in the deep mountain forest of Liangdu, Liupanshui, Guizhou, such as Wumeng Mountain National Geology and Forest Park and Wangshe National Forest Principality.

Liupanshui forest landscape is cool and cool in summer.

Thanks for inviting me.

Of course, it is fun to go to Lijiang. I have been there many times.

Lijiang has many scenic spots and many bright spots. Dayan ancient city, the underground water system is vertical and horizontal, and the ground slab paves the way. Mufu is a palace regulation that imitates the Forbidden City. Xu Xiake once visited this place and was full of praise. The ancient city is open without walls. The ancient city is dominated by pedestrian streets.

There are ancient houses in Ming and Qing dynasties everywhere, and there are lofts with wooden structures in and out of the courtyard. Flowers are in full bloom, and flower cakes have become a special food.

Thirteen peaks of Yulong Snow Mountain are covered with snow all year round, and yaks stroll leisurely on the endless lawn. The big waterwheel is the symbol of the ancient city. There are dancing and singing performances of Naxi people in Sifang Street (Square) every day. Black Dragon Pool Park is unique, and the snow mountain water is divided into three streams and enters the ancient city. The performance of Naxi Ancient Music, led by Xuanke, gives you a different kind of antique enjoyment from afar.

There are many silver shops in the ancient city, which are finely crafted and made for local unique crafts. The sheepskin drum here is a special percussion instrument. Many beautiful pop songs have their voices in the accompaniment, so you should bargain when you buy them.

The Lijiang Ancient Love Scenic Spot in the ancient city is the largest comprehensive scenic spot, with mountains, water and characteristic shops. There is also a grand theater. Every day at 4: 30 p.m. and 6: 30 p.m., there are two performances of the large-scale song and dance "Lijiang Love". There are "Up the Mountain" and elephant riding in the scenic spot, and the activities that tourists participate in are very lively. Package tickets for scenic spots are available in different channels and at different prices, ranging from 250 yuan to 320 yuan. There is a bonfire party at night.

At night in Lijiang, nightclubs stay up all night, and visitors from all directions drink, sing and drink coffee. Red lanterns are hung high everywhere, but they are not noisy, and the ancient city becomes quiet and peaceful.

There are many scenic spots near Lijiang, so I won't go into details.

If you go to Lugu Lake, the first bay of the Yangtze River, Tiger Leaping Gorge, Shangri-La and Dali, it's much closer from Lijiang. Car rental, carpooling, car rental and self-driving are all acceptable. The general driving time is 4-6 hours.

Living in a folk house is expensive and chain hotels are cheap.

Lijiang has a special airport. Buy discounted air tickets online in advance, and there are many discounts.

The above brief introduction, I hope it will help you choose.

I wish you a happy trip!

Both places are good. There are many tourists visiting Lijiang, but I prefer to go to Liupanshui, which is not free for you in summer. Liupanshui's natural scenery, ethnic customs and culture are excellent. It is a good place to receive Qilindong Park, Liuzhijiang River and Beipanshan Canyon, and come to Liupanshui for summer vacation.

Both places are very nice, and it won't be as hot as other cities in summer. Compared with the two, Lijiang is indeed more suitable than Liupanshui if you like to punch in or develop better local tourism. And I would prefer to go to Liupanshui, because the title of Liangdu was not given for nothing, and Lijiang has had too many negative news and too strong commercialization in recent years. Personally, I prefer a niche, so I choose Liupanshui, the cool capital.

Let's share some places worth visiting in Liupanshui. Although Liupanshui is a coal capital, both the climate and the environment are not bad. You can see not only the karst scenery, but also the ethnic customs and cultural sites.

If you like natural scenery, Liupanshui has Qilindong Park, Liuzhijiang, Beipanjiang Canyon, Yushe National Forest Park and so on.

If you like cultural relics, Liupanshui has Yelang Ancient Country, Changjiaomiao Museum, Panxian Conference Site of the Second and Sixth Army Corps of the Red Army and so on.

If you like ethnic customs, Liupanshui has Pugu Yi Torch Festival, Miao jump flower festival, Buyi "Langjieshan" and many other festivals, which you can choose.

Although the scenic spots in Liupanshui are not as famous as those in other places, it is natural to win. If you don't like commercial places, it is still very good to come to Liupanshui for summer vacation.

Can you see the main peak of Yulong Snow Mountain at Wenhai Pass in Lijiang?

You can see the outline of the main peak of Yulong Snow Mountain and the snow mountain group at Wenhai Mountain Pass in Lijiang, but you may not be able to see the complete main peak clearly. This is because seeing the main peak of Yulong Snow Mountain requires good weather conditions and proper light angle, and it usually emerges in the fog. So sometimes it may take many attempts to see the complete main peak. However, even if you can't see the complete main peak, Lijiang Wenhai Pass is also a good place to enjoy the magnificent scenery of Yulong Snow Mountain.

How is the best way to climb Yulong Snow Mountain?

The most suitable way is to go up the mountain by cable car.

This is because Yulong Snow Mountain is located in Lijiang City, Yunnan Province, with an altitude of 5,596 meters, which is one of the highest snow-capped mountains in the world.

Climbing on foot is very difficult and dangerous because of the steep mountain and bad weather conditions.

The cable car can reach the top of the mountain safely and quickly, avoiding the risk of climbing and physical consumption.

3. In addition, you can enjoy the magnificent snow-capped mountains by taking the cable car up the mountain, especially on the way of the cable car, which overlooks the whole snow-capped mountains and leaves a deep impression on people.

Therefore, taking the cable car is the most suitable way to go to Yulong Snow Mountain.

Take the cableway to Yulong Snow Mountain.

To get on the Yulong Snow Mountain by cableway, you need to enter the scenic spot first, buy tickets for the scenic spot (100 yuan), the cableway (100 yuan) and the eco-car (20 yuan), then arrive at Ganhaizi, the tourist service center, and then take the eco-car from Ganhaizi to the boarding point of the cableway. It takes about 25 minutes to get to Glacier Park by cableway, and the place where you get off the cableway is 4506 meters above sea level. Then, you build a hiking ramp and walk along a ramp for about 30 minutes.

Hiking Yulong Snow Mountain

This way of hiking on Yulong Snow Mountain is not from the scenic spot, but the path and wild road outside the scenic spot, which requires a professional leader to lead the way. It is recommended to participate in the hiking trip of Yulong Snow Mountain in the local hiking club.

Hiking to Yulong Snow Mountain, first take a bus from Lijiang to Wenhai, and then start hiking from Wenhai-spruce forest-cabin (hiking base camp)-meadow-the first peak of Yulong Snow Mountain. The whole journey takes nearly 10 hours. It is not recommended for people without any outdoor experience and physical strength to participate.

1. Take a taxi to the scenic spot of Yulong Snow Mountain, and then walk into the mountain.

If you take a taxi from Old Town of Lijiang to Yulong Snow Mountain, remember to buy your own oxygen cylinders, which are sold in supermarkets and small shops in Guzhen. Don't listen to the master asking you to buy others, they are all the same. Down jackets go to the ropeway to rent, and buy ropeway tickets. WeChat WeChat official account Concern-Lijiang Tourism Group micro platform is fine, remember to book one day in advance. There are corresponding tickets for each time period, and you may not get them if you are late.

2. Take a taxi directly and let the driver take it to the waiting hall in Blue Moon Valley, and then queue up to take the cableway into the mountain.

It is also very exhausting to take the cableway. So you can buy some chocolate in advance to supplement your physical strength. Generally, the oxygen we buy in advance is used up when we queue up. When you climb to the top of Yulong Mountain, you will see some glaciers. If it's foggy, you can't see anything. If you go in the morning, it's all foggy, and it's foggy in bad weather. The weather is fine, and there will be blue sky to see the scenery below the mountain after the afternoon.

3. Tour Yulong Snow Mountain with a group and take a bus to the waiting room in Blue Moon Valley.

If you join a group, you can go to the US group or comment on the public. Or ask if the inn has such a self-organized group. This kind of tour group includes food, down jacket, oxygen, scenic spot tickets, etc. The welfare of some groups can save you from waiting in line. Of course, you can ask this clearly in advance.
