Opening: If you are alone and only have three or four days, it is actually a very good choice to choose Lijiang for leisure and vacation.
1. The characteristics of the ancient town are different from the usual living environment, which can realize the desire to change the environment and mood.
2. Beautiful scenery, unlimited sunshine, unlimited blue sky and white clouds, lazy air, leisurely atmosphere, even if you don't travel far, wandering around the ancient city is enough to have a good mood.
3. Lijiang is mature in tourism, and it is very convenient to eat, live, and travel. Even if you are alone, you don't have to worry about how to eat, how to play, and how to live.
4. The safety index is high. I have personally surveyed and found that most of the people in Lijiang are honest and wealthy, so they seldom make money greedily. With a better living standard, there will be fewer scammers and thieves. Especially in Shuhe, things are even more affordable.
youth is for recalling
when you have it
it's worthless
but when you look back
It is the brightest day of my life.
transportation
There is an airport in Lijiang, and planes can fly directly to Lijiang, but they are basically small planes. It's even more convenient when you get to the urban area. Buses, taxis, and private vans can all get you where you want to go. PS: There are a lot of small blue breads in Lijiang. I heard from the innkeeper that this kind of bread can be used for a ride. Usually it costs 2 yuan, but I didn’t take it. Friends who take it can tell me. One thing, don’t listen to the taxi masters. They are not bad people, but sometimes they are too enthusiastic. The recommended route may not be what you like. You should follow your own itinerary, listen more and observe more. It is also very convenient to go to Shuhe from Lijiang. If you take a meter, it only costs 12 yuan, but if you see that you are carrying a large luggage, the driver usually does not use the meter and asks for the price casually. The price ranges from 30-50, but generally you can get it 20 yuan, we sit is 20 yuan.
stay
Lijiang is full of inns, and you can choose accommodation at will. February is the off-season, so there is no need to book in advance, and you can choose whatever you want.

Food
Lijiang has a lot of food. In the ancient city, there is a street of snacks, and in the new city, there is a street of flowers and horses. My biggest regret this time is that I didn't satisfy my foodie mouth. I ate too little delicious food, and I didn't drink Ding Ding yogurt.
Shopping
Lijiang Shopping:
1. The bells of Ashali and Bunun bells are very good. Don't bargain.
2. It is best to buy bells from small roadside shops and send them to colleagues. Colleagues like it very much. I bought Dongba handmade
3. Flower cakes are a good gift. Very tasty. Try it yourself, there are many.
4. All yak meat is not real. I didn't buy it.
5. The jewelry necklace is still good after bargaining. I bought it and they all said it looks good
6. Be careful when buying clothes! ! ! ! ! The place is very beautiful. I can't wear it at home. Must not be impulsive! Unless you keep it as a souvenir.
7. There are shawls everywhere, and I didn't buy any.
8. Bargain and bargain again! ! !
9. There is also a relatively international shopping mall in Lijiang, Lijiang International Shopping Plaza, which has a complete range of things, and of course the quality is also international.
play
There are scattered groups everywhere in Lijiang, and you can join the group at will. Go to Lashihai, go to Yulong Snow Mountain, go to Lugu Lake, Shangri-La, Meili Snow Mountain and other places. But keep your eyes open, ask clearly, and see if there is any hidden consumption.
Dayan’s ancient city maintenance fee must be paid, at least I haven’t heard of successful fare evasion, but Shuhe’s maintenance fee can be exempted. Generally, the driver will take you in through the main entrance for taxis. If you are stopped by uniformed staff and you have to pay the ancient city maintenance fee, then you just get off the car and say I won’t go in, and just sneak in through the side door. That's what we did, and it saved us 80 yuan.
This is how a solo journey begins.
written in front
The tentative itinerary before departure was Jiuzhaigou and Chongqing. At that time, no one would have thought that I would suddenly decide to fly to Lijiang to see the blue sky and white clouds in the sun on a certain night. Life is like this, one plan after another will be put on hold suddenly, and one thing after another will not come true, but there will still be more surprises waiting for you to discover with your heart.
At 5:30 in the morning, I was woken up by a friend's phone call. I simply washed, cleaned up in a hurry, and went out in a panic. So dazed, this is the beginning of a person's journey. The highway to the airport was covered in heavy fog, so we could only drive in the dark.
On the flight at 7:55, I changed my registration card and checked my luggage. My dad sent me to the security checkpoint. After passing the security check, I turned to look at him and wanted to cry. At that moment, I really didn’t want to leave. I was scared, confused, and worried. . But I still left all my emotions behind. At that time, my heart seemed to be fighting against the cruel reality. In the end, my heart that did not succumb to reality won, and I was determined to enrich my youth.
The plane was a bit late, and a funny thing happened while waiting to board the plane. On the flight to Hangzhou, only one passenger named Chow Yun-fat was unregistered, and the voice of the flight attendant echoed throughout the hall: "Passenger Chow Yun-fat, Chow Yun-fat, your flight to Hangzhou is about to take off, please hurry up Board the plane." Over and over again, over and over again, the whole lobby was dying of laughter. Such a small thing, to some extent relieved my anxiety about traveling alone.
first day
Chengdu - Lijiang
Thinking about how wonderful life is, I was still eating hot pot at a hot pot restaurant in Chengdu that night, I was still asking my classmates how to see the giant pandas tomorrow, and I was still wondering why Chengdu is the city with the highest happiness index in China. Who knows, when I got back to my place of residence that night, I thought about running out, so I decided to fly to Lijiang early tomorrow morning to see the blue sky and white clouds, and enjoy the sun.
Many times I wonder how long can youth last? How to maintain happiness and how to present the excitement? There are no specific answers to these things. Happiness does not lie in how much you have, but more in whether you have the ability and state of mind to perceive and create happiness!
In fact, the reason for flying to Lijiang is very simple, that is, I just want to see the blue sky urgently, and I want to shout and run as much as I want in a place that is completely different from the city I live in. Chengdu is a basin, at least not as blue sky as Zhengzhou. For me, if I stay in Chengdu like this, I will not be able to realize my dream of seeing the blue sky. Simply, fly to Lijiang.
As soon as the idea came out, I started to contact my friends, asking him to help buy tickets, contacting the inn in Lijiang, and asking the boss to help reserve the room.
It was 8 o'clock in the evening at that time, and I remember it very clearly. When this idea was decided to be implemented, I walked up and down the room excitedly, wishing to tell everyone that I was going to fly to such a beautiful place. Want to bask in the sun. That mood is like the blue sky is above my head, as if the sun has surrounded me, as if the beautiful scenery is already in front of my eyes.
I quickly ran to the bar of the inn. I asked the boss if he had any travel companions who carpooled to the airport at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning, but he didn't. I also took chalk and left a sentence on the message board of the inn: "If you have a companion at the airport at 8 am tomorrow, please contact 403. I have a dream, which is to fly to Lijiang to bask in the sun." But until I Go, no one will contact me, haha. It doesn't matter, it doesn't affect my good mood at all.
Booked the plane at 10:45. Before, I was worried that it would take a lot of time to take a taxi, but I didn't expect that once the check-out was completed, a driver would come in to help someone from a foreign country deliver their luggage. It was great, the master waited for me for two minutes, and I took his taxi to the airport.
In this way, I embarked on a new journey without checking the strategy, without planning, and without preparation.
It is very convenient to fly from Chengdu to Lijiang, and it may be the reason for the off-season. The whole ticket plus fuel and surcharges only cost 542 yuan.
The flight from Chengdu to Lijiang was a small plane. It was the first time I took it. I had heard that there would be bumps, but I didn't expect the reaction to be so strong. I sat closest to the window and saw the entire wing shaking violently. From the basin to the mountains, the turbulence was getting stronger and stronger, and then a wave of fear and worry hit. I couldn't help asking the girl sitting next to me: "Is this kind of bumping normal?" After getting an affirmative answer, I gradually felt relieved, and saw that the passengers around me didn't have a particularly big reaction. It also gradually calmed down. I closed my eyes until the plane landed smoothly.
The bumps along the way and the unknown journey made me feel very depressed, but! but! When I got off the plane and saw such a clear blue sky and white clouds, my whole heart jumped out with excitement. It’s not an exaggeration at all. For me, a mainlander who hardly sees such a beautiful sky for a year, if you don’t have the same living environment as me, you will definitely not be able to share my deep feelings.
Beautiful, beautiful, so beautiful; worth, worth, so worth it.
All the apprehensions disappeared so quickly, yes, there are so many beautiful scenery, so why worry?
When you get out of the airport, many people will warmly ask you, beautiful girl, can you take our car, etc. I have always been extremely repulsed by such warm hospitality, so I chose the most conservative route, according to the innkeeper According to the instructions, I took the airport bus.
Here, I would like to say that the last stop of the Lijiang Airport bus is the Blue Sky Hotel. Generally, everyone has to get here before getting off, and then choose a bus or a taxi to go to the place you want to go. Lijiang taxis start at 10 yuan, at least during the few days I was in Lijiang, except for the 12 yuan to Shuhe, all the taxis cost 10 yuan.
But taxis are hard to come by. I pulled a suitcase and waited on the side of the road for a long time before I saw an empty car approaching slowly. At that time, there was another person on the side of the road with a big backpack on his back. He looked like a donkey traveling alone. It was too difficult to get a taxi, and I finally got one, so I invited him to get on the taxi together. Go out and do good deeds.
This is the first time I talk to a stranger in Lijiang, and it feels amazing. But my location is different from his, and he is a little farther than me. When I arrived, although he kept saying thank you to me and asked him to ride with him, and he would pay the fare, I still threw him 10 yuan. Get used to the concept of carpooling and teamwork.
When I first arrived in Lijiang, I felt very strange, and the excitement gradually returned to calm. Facing all the unfamiliar environments and crowds in front of me, all the images of my hometown flashed in my mind at that time. The sky in Lijiang is very blue, the clouds are beautiful, and the sun is very gentle, but you always feel that something is missing? Maybe it's because there is no lover here.
Lijiang is the way I love it.
When I first arrived in a strange place, I saw everything was novel and exciting. I also walked quietly, appreciating it with my heart, and thanking life for giving me the opportunity to travel alone this time, which made me appreciate it more during the journey. The existing good.
It’s lunch time at this time, and the key is to solve the stomach first. The boss recommended me a specialty store in Lijiang, Dreamer Salmon Restaurant, Salmon Hot Pot. I heard it for the first time and decided to try it. In fact, I always listen to other people's suggestions, which was impossible for me in the past. I was very stubborn and rarely abandoned my own views to fully accept other people's suggestions. But this time is different than before. In the previous trips, I had friends, strategies, and plans. This time, I have nothing but myself and a heart that is crazy and unyielding to reality. So this time I was braver, and of course it was easier to open my heart and trust others.
I took the map, carefully identified the direction, locked my position, walked and walked, and with the perfect cooperation of my not-so-smart brain and a smart mouth, I found this store.
At this moment, while I was waiting for my lunch, I was busy appreciating the interesting items in the restaurant, while silently feeling in my heart that the biggest inconvenience of traveling alone is that I have a mouth full of foodies, but it is difficult to satisfy the heart of this foodie. I can't finish eating too much, and I can't eat enough if I order too little, entangled! I flipped through the menu, turned it over and over again, and finally ordered a pot bottom, a fish, and some fancy potatoes. . . There are vegetables and meat, but at this time, I start to miss my dad and my sisters. If everyone comes together, they will definitely order a large table of food, and then drink and chat with each other!
So I am very envious of the three men at the next table, their table is full of delicacies, all kinds of crock pots. I have a good impression of them, because I like people who value friendship. It can be seen that the relationship between the three of them is very good, because they all have happy smiles on their faces. I envy and miss my friends while planning For the next trip. The meal is here, let’s eat, you have to replenish your strength to enjoy the more beautiful scenery.
I didn't eat much snacks in Lijiang. In the afternoon, I walked past a street of snacks, selling and shouting. It was very lively, but I didn't have any desire to eat. Looking at the online strategy, the introduction is not very good, maybe it is the right choice not to eat.
Sometimes when I think about it, travel is really wonderful. Although it can't completely get rid of our irritating work, it can at least keep us happy for a while; I met a few simple friends on the road, and realized that there is such a special fate and love in the world; although it cannot make us a polymath, it can at least allow us to see different scenery and feel different life.
When I came back, I was asked, is this trip alone rejuvenating? I am surprised, why do I have to go again, now I am experiencing my youth? If you want to talk about why you are so impulsive, why you are so crazy, why you still choose to travel alone without any preparation, no plan, and no strategy, you already have a firm answer in your heart. Every inch of time in life is too precious, and every minute and every second can't afford to be wasted. If you have an idea, if you don't implement it immediately, time will not wait for you for any second.
But this trip was so hasty that it could be described as impulsive, at least I didn't give myself any chance to prepare myself.
When I woke up on Saturday morning, I felt such a waste of time. I was so sorry for the remaining beautiful youth, so I sent a text message to my dad and took a public holiday. Traveling alone was like this, and the first solo trip after growing up began like this . Maybe my dad sent me to the airport and sent me to a distant place where I can breathe freely without being overwhelmed. But how worried he is, I can't understand it all too well. When he came back, he told me that I was out for a few days, and he was anxious for a few days.
Maybe mine, I don't belong to anyone, I only belong to my own theory, it's really bloody.
