(Detailed description of each place is in the attachment)

2018-10-8——2018-10-17

3 people: myself and my parents (over 70 years old, in good health)

1. I planned to return to Beijing from Lijiang or Dali Airport, but due to the small number of flights and expensive air tickets, they all took off and landed from Kunming. Arrange a six-day visit to Shangri-La, stay away from Lijiang on weekends, and reduce the flow of people.

2. This itinerary is only suitable for those with good physical strength. The average daily walk is 20,000 to 30,000 steps, and the walk in Cangshan Mountain exceeded 40,000 steps on the day.

3. We only eat breakfast and dinner every day. There is no time for lunch. You can eat some food in the car or eat snacks when you play. Those who need a fixed meal must consider this itinerary.

4. Try to visit the ancient city at night, so that the night view is beautiful.

5. The daily accommodation is in B&B inn, 3-person room or 2 double-person rooms, the price is around 200. Because it is not a holiday, there are many inns, and there is no need to make an appointment in advance. It is only when you arrive at the local area that you start to find the right one on Ctrip. It is required to be able to park, clean, convenient to take a shower, close to or within the ancient city on foot.

6. The daily dinner costs about 200. I usually look for local specialty stores on Dianping and order a set meal for 4-6 people. I can handle it, no problem. I just need to go for a walk in the ancient city at night to digest food.

7. The total final cost: flight + car rental + fuel fee + highway fee + accommodation + food = 16,000. Tickets are not recorded because many parents are free.

Anyway, if you are over 70, you don’t need to spend tickets, and then let the car take me to the parking lot under the Gantong Cableway Pick up the car, I will visit the Tianlong Babu film and television base by myself, and then go to meet my parents)

Cangshan Mountain is located on the west side of the Erhai Lake in Dali, and the scenery is extremely beautiful.

Climbing up the Cangshan Mountain, you can also overlook the beautiful scenery of Erhai Lake and Dali.

An overview of Cangshan

To appreciate the beautiful scenery of Cangshan Mountain, you can take pictures from a distance from the villages and towns by the Erhai Lake, or you can walk into the Cangshan Mountain Scenic Area and experience it up close. There is an 18-kilometer-long mountain tour trail built on the mountainside of Cangshan Mountain, called Yudai Yunyou Road. From Xiaocen Peak in the north to Shengying Peak in the south, it passes 6 peaks along the way, as well as scenic spots such as Qingbi River, Qilongnv Pool, Longyan Cave, Fengyan Cave, and Zhonghe Temple. Walking on the 2,600-meter-high Jade Belt Road, you can overlook the scenery of Dali Bazi and Erhai Lake at any time. The air is fresh and the temperature is suitable, which makes people feel refreshed.

How to play

There are two ways to go to Shangcang Mountain: take the cableway and walk on the hiking trail. If you only plan to play for half a day, you can take the Gantong Cableway, Zhonghe Cableway, and Cangshan Cableway (Ximatan Cableway) (near Tianlong Babu Film and Television City) to go up and down the mountain. The cableways are not connected to each other, and they can respectively reach Qingbi River, Zhonghe Temple and Ximatan on Yudai Road on the mountainside.

Cangshan Cableway

Take the Gantong Cableway (near Gantong Temple), the upper station of the cableway is Qingbixi. Afterwards, head north along Yudai Road, and arrive at Zhonghe Temple after passing through Qilongnv Pond, Longan Cave, and Fengyan Cave. Zhonghe Temple is located in the west of the ancient city of Dali. It is an excellent location overlooking the Erhai Lake and Dali Bazi. It is also the upper station of the Zhonghe Cableway. If you take the Cangshan Cableway, you can go directly to the 3920-meter Ximatan after the Qilongnv Pool. After that, I went all the way north along Yudai Road, playing while walking. The next station of the Cangshan Cableway is located in the "Tianlong Babu Film and Television City" (the price seems to be 40-60, and it is free above 70) at the foot of the mountain.

hiking

If you have plenty of time and energy, it is recommended to walk up the mountain. On the west side of Tianlong Babu Film and Television City, there is a hiking trail, which is also the morning exercise route for locals. The stone steps on the trail are very flat. It takes about 1 hour to go up to Yudai Road (near Fengyan Cave), and then go north for about 2 kilometers to reach Zhonghe Temple, then turn back and go south to visit Xima Lake, Seven Dragon Girl Pool, etc. . Afterwards, you may return on the same road, or return via the Gantong Cableway. It takes a lot of time to hike up the mountain, but you don’t need to bring your own drinking water and food. You can supply them along the Yudai Road. There is a Jiagantong teahouse next to the Qingbi River, where you can replenish water when you are tired from walking. There are two snack bars next to the Seven Dragon Girl Pool, just beside Yudai Road, which is very convenient. Vegetarian food is also available in the vegetarian room of Zhonghe Temple. Those who are on a day trip to the mountains can have lunch and replenish water here.

Special Tips 1. Cangshan Mountain has a strong body and complicated mountain roads. It is recommended not to deviate from the Yudai Road during the tour, otherwise it is easy to get lost if you stray into the deep mountains. 2. The altitude of Cangshan Mountain is high, and the temperature is low in the morning and evening. In addition, due to the cold mountain wind, it is recommended to bring warm clothes when going up the mountain. 3. Some locals will provide horseback riding services in Cangshan, but the comfort and safety factors are relatively low, so it is recommended to try with caution.

3. Lijiang

1. Lijiang Old Town

There is no maintenance fee for the ancient city. Good night. The ancient city is too big and we walked around for 2 nights, but we didn't finish shopping.

The things sold are flower cakes, silverware, beef consumption, etc. There are many bars on Sifang Street. Young people are looking forward to an affair there, and the music is noisy.

Lijiang Old Town, also known as Dayan Town, is one of the most famous towns on the Ancient Tea Horse Road with a history of more than 800 years. In the ancient city, there are wooden buildings with green tiles, ancient streets with stone alleys, small bridges and flowing water.

Sifang Street is the center of the ancient city, and it was also the trading market of the ancient tea-horse road.

The Mutusi Wangfu Mufu, which was praised by Xu Xiake as "the beauty of the palace, is like a king", is located near the gate of Qiyi Street. When you come to the ancient city, you must not miss this magnificent palace. If you are interested in music and history, you must not miss the Naxi ancient music performance known as the "living fossil of music". Gu Le was impressed.
classic experience
When you come to the ancient city, you can walk along the river and visit the ancient city with the water: the ancient city makes full use of the spring water. The water of the Yuhe River is divided into three parts in the city, three parts into nine parts, and then divided into countless canals, forming the main street near the river and the alleys near the canal. The situation of the ancient city makes the ancient city clean and full of vitality; you can also walk into the courtyard and feel the connotation of Naxi national architecture: the ancient city building is a simple Naxi courtyard with white walls, blue tiles and wooden eaves, and the structure is rough and simple, while the courtyard layout and house detail decoration Rich and delicate, the Naxi people like to plant flowers and trees in the courtyard, forming a beautiful harmony between man and nature; you can even wear slippers, sit on Sifang Street, chat with the Naxi old lady basking in the sun, and feel the rhythm of life of the local people; When night falls, the noisy bar street is the best choice for you to experience Lijiang's nightlife.

The ancient city is full of shops selling local specialties, and you can choose everything you like at will: ethnic ornaments, tea, silverware, copperware, Dongba paper, shawls, etc. Don’t worry if you’re tired from shopping, there are many restaurants in the ancient city, whether it’s local flavors or western pizza, everything will satisfy you.
Over the years, with the development of tourism, Lijiang has been accused of "over-commercialization" and "folk customs are no longer simple", but this does not prevent groups of tourists from dragging their suitcases into this snow-capped mountain. small town. When you come to Lijiang, as long as you calm down and stay quietly for a while, you can feel her tranquility and tolerance.

Special Note

1. There is a small mountain called Lion Mountain next to Sifang Street. There is the best place to take a panoramic view of the ancient city on the mountain. If it is sunny after the rain, it is possible to photograph the rainbow across the ancient city.

2. There are many inns in the ancient city, with various styles. But once the golden week and other peak tourist seasons are approaching, the inns will be full in an instant, and the prices will rise. Visitors who come to the ancient city of Lijiang at this time must book their accommodation in advance.

3. Guchengkou often gathers a large number of solicitors, encouraging you to "ride horses" and "charter cars". Most of these are unlicensed operations, and the safety and quality are not guaranteed. It is recommended to stay away. If you need to travel, it is recommended to find a qualified tour group or club inside and outside the ancient city.

2. Mufu

Over 70 years old free ticket price 40

Located in the south of the ancient city of Lijiang, the Mu Mansion was the residence of the chieftains of the Mu family in Lijiang in the past dynasties. The building combines the architectural style of the Central Plains in the Ming Dynasty with the craftsmanship of the Bai and Naxi people. Now Mufu is a landmark of the ancient city, attracting countless tourists to come here to appreciate it.
Although the Mufu Palace is the Tusi Palace, its magnificence is not inferior to the royal family. It is said that it was "built in imitation of the Forbidden City" in its heyday, and there were more than 100 palace houses in its heyday. Walking along the stone road at Guanmenkou, the first thing that catches your eyes is the wooden archway of "Tianyu Liufang". Turn around the wooden archway, and on the right hand side is an exquisitely carved stone archway with the word "loyalty" written on it. At that time, the stone archway had a magnificent structure and exquisite carvings, and the folks praised it as "Dali Three Pagoda Temple, Lijiang Stone Archway".
Stepping into the majestic red gate of the Mu Mansion, the central axis is lined up with the meeting hall, Wanjuan building, Dharma protection hall, Guangbi building, Yuyin building, Sanqing hall and other buildings, all of which are exquisite. On both sides of the central axis, there are more than 160 houses, including supporting halls, attics, street-crossing buildings, courtyards, official posts, and promenades.
The meeting hall is dignified and majestic, and it is the place where the chieftain of the Mu family in Lijiang discusses politics; the Wanjuan Building is a manifestation of the culture that the chieftain of the Mu family admires. There are many cultural treasures such as calligraphy and painting of famous scholars; the Dharma-protecting Hall, also known as the rear meeting hall, is the place where the chieftain discusses family affairs; It is also located in this building when receiving the imperial decree; the Sanqing Hall is the product of Mu's chieftain advocating the Taoist spirit, and it is also a witness of the close connection between the Naxi people and the civilization of the Central Plains. After the tour, the Loyalty Archway outside the gate of Mufu, the "Tianyu Liufang" archway and the Zhaobi written with Xu Xiake's words are good places to take pictures.
After hundreds of years of splendor, most of Mufu was destroyed in the war in the late Qing Dynasty, and the remaining part was also severely damaged in the 1996 Lijiang earthquake. Although it is rebuilt, it does not prevent it from becoming a representative building in Lijiang Old Town. The TV series "The Wind and Cloud in the Wooden House" and "The King of Money" were filmed here. Visiting Lijiang without looking at Mufu is almost the same as not coming to Lijiang.

Special Note

1. There are free explanations in the scenic area. After a certain number of tourists reach a certain number, they will explain it once. You can consult after buying tickets and entering.

2. The buildings in Mufu Scenic Area are all wooden structures, smoking is prohibited, please pay attention.

3. Shuhe Ancient Town

Located in the northwest of Lijiang Old Town, Shuhe Ancient Town was an important stop on the Ancient Tea Horse Road. The ancient town is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and its structural layout is similar to that of the ancient city of Dayan. What is rare is that due to the late development of tourism, Shuhe Ancient Town is much quieter and simpler than Dayan Ancient Town.

walk along the street
Walk in from the large archway with the words "Shuhe Ancient Town" hanging on the carved beams and painted buildings, and walk along the stone pavement with shops on both sides to the center of the ancient town. Like Dayan Ancient Town, it is also called Sifang Street. Back then, Sifang Street was a place where caravans traded fur goods. Now Sifang Street is surrounded by various shops, and you can vaguely feel the prosperity of that year.

Jiuding Longtan
Go upstream along the stream along Sifang Street, walk across the Qinglong Bridge, and there is a bay of clear and green water on the side of the road. This is the source of the stream: Jiuding Longtan. There are a large number of rainbow trout growing in the pond, because of the biting meltwater of Yulong Snow Mountain, it has become a natural breeding ground for rainbow trout. There is Longquan Temple beside the pool, also known as Sansheng Palace, which is dedicated to Sun Bin, the patriarch of the cobbler. Climbing up the hill behind Sansheng Palace, there is a relatively open flat land, which is a good place to overlook the panoramic view of the ancient town.

The Ancient Tea Horse Road Museum
The Ancient Tea Horse Road Museum, located on Zhonghe Road in the ancient town, is a place worth visiting. The museum was originally a part of the wooden chieftain's "Shuhe Bieyuan". It mainly introduces the history of the ancient tea-horse road, including tea-horse trading, leather goods trading, and the origin of Shuhe cobblers. You can have a simple understanding of the history of Shuhe . In addition, the mural painting exhibition hall is not to be missed. The murals on display are the Dajue Palace murals in Liupu, which were painted in the Ming Dynasty. Although they are later than the Baisha murals, they are also superb.

Catering and accommodation
The area of ​​the ancient town is small, and there are many restaurants and bars in the town. You don’t need to worry about catering when you visit the ancient town. If you are tired from walking, you can find a small shop and eat local specialties such as chickpea jelly, rice enema, etc., as well as the famous rainbow trout. Be sure to try it. Because the ancient town is not restricted by many conditions such as "world cultural heritage", many inns have unique architectural styles. If you are entangled in the hustle and bustle of Dayan Ancient Town, you might as well come here for a few days to feel the leisure of Shuhe Ancient Town. The vicinity of Old Sifang Street is a place where accommodation is relatively concentrated. Different from the hustle and bustle at the entrance of the ancient town, this place is relatively quiet.

Surrounding recommendations
Walking around, 3-4 hours is enough. If you still have energy and strength, you can go out of the ancient town from the back of Sansheng Palace, and you can reach Baisha Ancient Town not far away. This is also a simple and quiet town. Don’t forget it when you are wandering around. It doesn't take too long to enjoy the same old and famous Baisha murals, and you will never delay returning to the ancient town for accommodation.

4. Baisha Ancient Town

There is no commercialized ancient town, it’s too old, and it’s really meaningless. Baisha murals are 30, 70 and above are free (I wanted to see it, but I had to add 80 ancient city maintenance fees on the basis of the entrance fee, so I gave up decisively. In fact, I will travel to Mufu later. , which contains imitation)

Baisha Ancient Town is an ancient town about 12 kilometers north of Lijiang City. It is the original settlement of the Naxi people in Lijiang Dam and the birthplace of Lijiang Mu's Chieftain. It still retains the antique style, and it is very quiet and simple. The "White Sand Mural Paintings" in the town during the Ming and Qing Dynasties are even more precious.

Some people say that Baisha is Lijiang ten years ago. There is only an old commercial street here, and there are many small Naxi courtyards of local people, which retain the original appearance of the ancient town, and you can see the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain when you look up. Small shops selling souvenirs mainly sell two kinds of things, one is tie-dye, the other is all kinds of antiques, and there are some cafes and snack bars. Compared with the bustling business of Dayan and Shuhe, Baisha Ancient Town is a relatively quiet place. The strange thing is that although the streets here are relatively old, there are almost foreign-style English signs on the doors and windows on the street, and some shops can still use English to do business with foreigners. This is because most of the people who came to Baisha in the past were foreigners. They prefer the simple and primitive Naxi folk customs here, and the locals have learned foreign languages ​​because of this.

There is a very famous sight in the ancient town, "Baisha Mural Paintings". The painting of "Baisha Mural Paintings" lasted for more than 300 years from the early Ming Dynasty to the early Qing Dynasty. When you come to Baisha Ancient Town, you might as well come here to learn about Dongba culture. In addition to this scenic spot, most people who come to Baisha Ancient Town are for the cleanliness here. They can ride bicycles from Dayan Ancient Town, sit and drink tea in small shops on the street, stroll slowly, and use each other with local old ladies. Chatting in a language you understand or don't understand makes people feel relaxed and leisurely.

5. Yushui Village

Tickets are 35/person, and more than 70 are free. The play time is 2 hours. The Shenlong Sandie Waterfall group at the entrance is very beautiful, and there are a lot of golden bottle fish in it. I like to bring some cheap solid bread when I play, which is specially used to feed the fish.

Look at the heritage to the ancient city, look at the scenery to the snow-capped mountains, look at the Naxi culture to the water village

Yushui village is located about 15 kilometers north of Lijiang City, at the foot of Yulong Snow Mountain in Baisha Town. The scenery of the village is natural and simple, especially the ethereal and clear water scenery is amazing. Here is also the holy land of the Dongba religion of the Naxi people, where you can learn about the unique and splendid Naxi culture about sacrifices and papermaking.

Walking into the scenic gate of Yushui Village, the first thing that shocks you is the waterscape of Shenlong Sandieshui. In the scenic area, there is a stream of clear springs from under two old trees, which turns into cascading waterfalls with nearly ten white beads splashing, large and small. Legend has it that the spring of Shenquan is the place where the gods of nature come and go. The gods folded the water into several piles, thus creating this patchwork group of Shenlong three-fold water waterfalls. The stream flows into Yushuitan, where golden trout and rainbow trout are bred. Tourists gather by the pond to enjoy the harmonious scene of fish and water.

In addition to the waterscape, this is also the birthplace of the Naxi Dongba religion. Zhainei Heyuan is the residence of the Naxi Dongba religion gods. There is an exhibition hall of Dongba cultural relics, displaying ancient Dongba scriptures, puppets, and magical instruments. wait. In the center of the Harmony Courtyard is the "Yushuiyuan" hall, the highest temple of the Dongba religion, which enshrines many gods such as Dongba Shiluo, the ancestor of the Dongba religion, and Sanduo, the patron saint of the Naxi people.

In addition, you can also visit the Dongba Papermaking Workshop, Dongba Wine Brewing Workshop, looms, etc. in the folk custom courtyard, learn about the papermaking, wine making, and weaving skills of the ancient Dongba people, and enjoy the local ancient folk music of the Naxi people "Baisha Xile". " performance. Every year, according to the Naxi tradition, the scenic spot regularly holds activities such as offering sacrifices to heaven, wind, and nature gods; on March 5 of the lunar calendar, a grand Dongba ceremony will be held at the Harmony Courtyard. , I am very lucky to have a deeper understanding of the charm of Dongba religion.

The ancient city is built on the hillside, and the road surface is paved with stone slabs according to the terrain, with natural ups and downs. Up to now, the imprint of horseshoes can still be seen on the stone road, which is a token left by the long-standing caravan.

The architectural layout of the ancient city is like an eight-petal lotus flower, with Moonlight Square in the center surrounded by quaint Tibetan-style wooden houses one after another, where local people live peacefully. On the west side of the square is Daguishan, also known as Guishan Park. It is a famous local scenic spot. On the top of Guishan, there is the world's largest prayer wheel recorded in the Guinness Book of World Records. It takes three people to turn it together. On Sifang Street on the northwest side of Guishan Park, the Tibetan Guozhuang Village, which starts at 7 o'clock every night, always attracts a large number of tourists to participate in it.

After arriving at the end of the plank road, you can take a car out of the valley to Tongtian Gorge, or you can choose to drift all the way down in the deep and beautiful canyon, and take a car to Tongtian Gorge after arriving at Pier No. 2. The most interesting thing in Tongtian Canyon is the 700-meter suspended plank road. Walking on it, you can enjoy the beautiful landscape and experience the exciting feeling.

In addition to the canyon and the ancient village, there are other "two wonders" in the scenic area that cannot be missed. One is the thousand-year-old Bodhi tree near the entrance. The trunk grows out of the shape of a human palm. In another pasture located in the depths of Jiala Village, there is a Qudeng Mountain. The round spire on the top of this mountain is covered with white snow, and the bottom is a black round rock wall, which is very similar to the shape of Buddhist pagodas that can be seen everywhere in Tibetan areas. , known as the natural pagoda, to visit the natural pagoda needs to walk for about an hour from the end of the road in Gala Village, and interested tourists can go there.

6. Tiger Leaping Gorge 8:00-16:30 price 45, free for 1.5 hours over 70 years old, can be regarded as the first stop to Shangri-La when the gate opens at 8:00 am, the first to enter the park, so no one is easy to take pictures. I only play Tiger Leaping. Considering my mother's physical strength, I won't go to Zhonghu Leaping. Tiger Leaping Gorge is the canyon with the largest drop in the world. It is located in the east of Tiger Leaping Gorge Town, Shangri-La County. It is divided into upper, middle and lower Tiger Leaping sections, with a total length of about 20 kilometers. The Jinsha River rushes here, surrounded by the two snow mountains of Yulong and Haba. The narrowest part of the river is only 20 to 30 meters, and with the huge drop, the river is rushing and turbulent. In addition to the majestic natural scenery, Tiger Leaping Gorge is also a world-renowned hiking resort, and there is an endless stream of outdoor enthusiasts who come here every year. After walking through the Tiger Leaping Gorge and going down to the river, you can truly appreciate the majestic momentum of the Tiger Leaping Gorge.

Tiger Leaping Gorge is famous for its strangeness, danger, majesty and grandeur. Among them, the upper tiger leap is dominated by "gorge mouth" and "tiger leap stone", the middle tiger leap is dangerous with "starry sky" and "a line of sky", and the lower tiger leap is "high gorge out of Pinghu" and "big mountain". "Beautiful" is beauty.

Tiger Leap

Upper Tiger Leaping Gorge is the upper section of Tiger Leaping Gorge, about 9 kilometers away from Tiger Leaping Gorge Town, and is the narrowest section of Tiger Leaping Gorge. Among them, near the viewing platform, the width is only less than 30 meters. In the center of the river stands a huge triangular boulder, which divides the torrent into two, splashing snow-like waves and bursts of waves. Legend has it that a fierce tiger jumped from the side of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain to the side of Haba Snow Mountain by taking advantage of the huge rock in the middle of the river, so the stone got its name: Tiger Leaping Stone. Shanghutiao was developed earlier, and there is a plank road that can go down from the roadside to the riverside, and it takes 20 minutes for those with fast feet. Because the road is simple and easy, the distance is relatively short, and the difficulty is relatively low, some people jokingly call Shanghu Leaping "the activity center for the elderly".

Tiger jump

The middle tiger jump is under the upper tiger jump, about 8 kilometers away from the upper tiger jump viewing platform. The mouth of Zhonghu Leaping Gorge is slightly wider, and the river is relatively open, but there are many dangerous shoals. The river water runs through the reef area. Under the sunshine, it sparkles like stars shining all over the sky, so it is called: the sky is full of stars. Winding down along the "Teacher Zhang Trail", the path is narrow and rugged, and it takes about 40 minutes to reach the riverside. The strange rocks along the river are rugged, the river is surging, splashing mist, and when you are lucky, you can see a beautiful rainbow. There are two mountain roads back to the highway, namely the "108-level brave ladder" built by Mr. Zhang Inn and the "Tian Lai" road built by Tianti Inn. Winding up along the mountain road, climbing up the almost vertical ladder, using both hands and feet After returning to the road, everyone was sweating profusely. But looking back at the vast Jade Dragon Snow Mountain opposite, the rushing Jinsha River at your feet, and the ray of sky in the canyon in the distance, you will feel that all the hard work is worth it.

Tiger Leap

Walking along the road from Zhonghutiao, after passing the "talc slab" with loose and rolling stones in the mountain, suddenly there is an openness in front of you, the river surface becomes open, and the river water tends to be gentle, just like a huge reservoir in the canyon, here is Xiahutiao . In the distance, the fields are criss-crossed and the smoke is curling up. It is already the Daju Township of Lijiang City. Special Note

1. Tiger Leaping Gorge's rainy season is concentrated in July-August, prone to rockfall and landslides, so the best time is April-June and September-November. 2. Be sure to pay attention to safety when hiking, especially pay attention to falling rocks above your head and slippery feet. 3. Do not listen to strangers near the old ferry. If someone says that they have charged tolls, it can be concluded that they are all liars. 4. Tina's Zhongxia Inn is a very famous inn in Tiger Leaping Gorge. There are a lot of foreigners staying in it. It may be full during the peak season. It is recommended to call and make an appointment in advance. Contact number: 0887-8202258, 13988771688. 5. You don’t need to carry too much food during the hike, as there are inns along the way to supply. But if the weather is hot, you need to bring more water. For non-winter travel, it is recommended to wear thin sweat-wicking and quick-drying underwear. For shoes, it is recommended to use medium and high-top waterproof and non-slip hiking shoes. If you can bring a pair of trekking poles, it will save you a lot of effort on your hiking journey.
