foreword
When we first arrived in Lijiang, Shuhe was our first stop. Those mottled stone roads and dead branches in winter, everything looked a bit depressed, only the bright sunshine in the afternoon greeted us hard. The inn boy who was as enthusiastic as the sun took us into the flower-filled courtyard, arranged everything quickly and properly, and said: "It's the off-season in Lijiang!" Let's end it~~
——Our inner OS: "It's not the off-season and it's not coming~~~"
In Lijiang in the off-season, there are few people, very few! The inn is cheap, very cheap! Tinghuatang, which can’t be booked in the peak season, not only has ample housing resources, but the price is still half of the peak season. The super popular Internet celebrity performance "Eternal Love in Lijiang" has also been booked into the VIP seats very smoothly. The popular Jade Dragon Snow Mountain is also not crowded. Peak travel is the most suitable for those of us who travel with naughty boys~~
There is no time to sum up 2019, so I can only use the last trip with a baby to make a perfect ending for December and 2019~~
Although Lijiang Jingmei is popular, it really exudes charm all the time. Let me start with the video I recorded this time during my busy schedule. Sure enough, the sunshine is a super production!
about Us
The three-year-old Pang Pang is enjoying the beauty in Lijiang, and we also feel that he can already feel the beauty of travel. From the ignorant five-month trip to Tokyo, all the way through Nice, Kuala Lumpur, etc., to this winter trip to Lijiang, the growth during the journey is very obvious. Look, I can take pictures of my mother! Go see the scenery together, travel the world, listen to the flowers and watch the snow. What constant parent-child travel brings us is to cherish the happy time in our hands.
I am @衣鱼911 A playful hot mom who aspires to travel around the world, a travel blogger who loves to share clothes and outfits, and uses the beautiful photos of mothers and filial piety to deceive and whitewash the baby and feel sad and tired, but life is still as beautiful as I imagined.
@胖胡 is a three-year-old little preserved egg, and this time I can finally speak clearly about my destination! All images are taken by Fat Dad @伊尼特. I really like the contrast between the little people and the big world. In this five-day and four-night family trip to Lijiang, Yunnan, we used modern technology (booking tickets online, ordering takeaways) to avoid many pitfalls and encountered many surprises. However, it is no exaggeration to say that the trip to Lijiang was the most heart-warming trip for me in 2019. Let’s start with a group of picturesque scenery of loving mothers and filial sons~~
my baby baby
give you a little sweet
let you sleep well tonight
my little devil
tease your smile
make you like the whole world
——I heard a singer sing this favorite song in Shuhe Ancient Town, so I sang it to Pangpang to fall asleep every night. He hummed the last syllable softly with me, the moon outside the window was full, and the night of the ancient city was dim.
Preparation
About Lijiang
Located in the northwest of Yunnan Province, at the junction of the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau and the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, it has a plateau southwest monsoon climate. To put it simply, the altitude is high, the sun is sufficient, and the ultraviolet rays are strong, but the temperature in winter is still cold, especially if you plan to go to the snow mountain cableway, prepare your down jacket!
air temperature
Being in the north with heating, we really didn’t expect Lijiang’s winter to be so cold. I laughed at my friends in the south before, don’t you know how to turn on the air conditioner? Now I find that the air conditioner is really useless, the outdoor temperature is not too low, so I don’t need to wear too thick gloves and scarves. The room was colder than the outside, and the father and son were like a small stove, which was completely unaffected. I was so cold that my hands and feet were cold, so I couldn't bear it anymore and bought an electric hot water bottle. Pay attention to those who are afraid of the cold, what kind of warm baby, remember to bring thick clothes.
high altitude
If you are in poor health, remember to prepare an oxygen bottle. I originally prepared two bottles for Pangpang, but the child is completely fine, and I used it myself when I was panting. I still have to be careful when staying up late. It will be much cheaper in the ancient city than going to the snowy mountain road or the snowy mountain. Buy it in advance and inhale it in advance. Don’t wait until you feel uncomfortable. Oxygen cylinders are like insurance.
stay and play
At first, I mistakenly thought that the ancient city had to charge tickets and maintenance fees, but later found that there was no need for it. In terms of tickets, I only bought tickets for Lashihai Wetland Park at 30 yuan per person, Lijiang Eternal Love VIP seat tickets at 360 yuan per person, and Jade Dragon Snow Mountain entrance fee at 100 yuan per person. Moon Valley tickets are 20 yuan, and the whole transportation depends on Didi Express.
Tinghuatang chain B & B has two inns with different locations. One is in Xiangyao store in Shuhe ancient town, which is located at No. 61 Dongkang Avenue, Shuhe ancient town, ancient city. It is mainly a fairy-tale public garden, and the other is in Dayan ancient town. That is to say, Lijiang Old Town, Private Garden Inn (Panorama Store), mainly public viewing platforms and private viewing rooms. Around 350 yuan per room per night.
baby care
Remember to moisturize and sunscreen, otherwise it will quickly turn into plateau red in just a few days. Children can’t walk for a long time in the ancient city, and it is very inconvenient to push a cart. It is recommended to bring a baby carrier or a waist stool to ensure that the child has a rest , Don't let him get too excited, in case of altitude sickness. Yunnan cuisine is very suitable for children's tastes, so don't worry about eating.
schedule
Our plan is to stay in Shuhe for two nights and Dayan for two nights. The slow travel of getting up late and going to bed early is very suitable for the rhythm of Lijiang. The air ticket from Daxing Airport is very cheap, only 6,000 yuan for three people including the luggage allowance.

[Shuhe Ancient Town] Warm sun in winter
In addition to Dayan Ancient Town in the main city of Lijiang Ancient City, Lijiang also has Shuhe Ancient Town, which is both quiet and artistic. Because of the itinerary, we did not go to the smaller Baisha Ancient Town, and even Shuhe was just a tour. On the main street, I walked around the ancient town a few times along the river, and I still like the morning light and lights reflected in the pond most. This place is called Flying Flowers Touching Water, and a rural pond has become a bar commercial area. It is said that when the catalpa flowers bloom, the sliding will be blown by the wind and fall into the pool water, causing waves of ripples.
The beauty of Shuhe Ancient Town is a bit bleak in winter, but it is such a faint scenery, which is especially suitable for the cheerful music from the street shops. The dogs all over the street make Fatty very happy, and the fat and strong koi in the pond are even more beautiful. Be full of joy, not only a holy place for couples, but also a place for lively family fun, there is no sense of disobedience!
The scenic spots in Shuhe Ancient Town include Shuhe Square Street, Qinglong Bridge, Ancient Tea Horse Road Museum, etc. It is called "Shaowu" in Naxi language, which means "village under the peak". Shuhe Ancient Town is a 4A-level scenic spot in my country. It was once selected as a "Charming Town in China" selected by CCTV. A living fossil of the development of civilization. The ancient buildings here have now become a tourist attraction, and the famous Shuhe Eight Sights are also famous here: Night Market Firefly, Longmen Watching the Moon, Snow Mountain Reflection, Broken Stele Knocking, Fish and Water Relatives, Xishan Red Leaves, Shilian Night Talk, Yanliu Pingqiao . If you have enough time, you must walk around the entire ancient town to feel the tranquility and comfort.
However, we didn’t have the energy to wander around the Shilian Temple opposite the Qinglong Bridge until we left the B&B with our children on the last day. We wanted to find an authentic Yunnan coffee, but it was not open in the morning, and we dragged our children along the blue stone road , wood-colored old waterwheels, blue sky and white clouds, and the dazzling array of green plants and flowers in the alleys are the brilliant colors of childhood.
The brand of the caravan leader in this store is a good match for Pangpang~~ But the stubborn three-year-old refused to stand there obediently to take pictures, so he had to give up, and the horse riding activities in the ancient city were also given up because of his unwillingness.
Living in the back garden of Xiangyao — Tinghuatang
We turned into a green doorway in the quiet and bleak ancient town of Shuhe, and returned to the B&B full of flowers. The feeling of coming back was like Alice breaking into Wonderland, which was unreal like a fairy tale. In the bleak winter, here is still as gorgeous as spring.
In the yard, flower dolls are carefully designed everywhere, with European fountains, tables and chairs, as if it is a princess back garden.
The beautiful garden also attracts chubby eyes, watching the flowers and basking in the sun, the feeling of owning a garden is great! Every corner here is also very suitable for taking pictures. It is recommended to check in and take pictures in the garden: Brown Bear, European-style tables, European-style fountains, and the entrance of the lobby.
The room is small and fresh, with European country style as a whole. The floral pastoral style pillows match the wood color decoration very well, red sofa, golden chandelier, all oak furniture, super comfortable latex mattress, thick duck down The quilt, the welcome flower at the door, the overall style is an extension of the outdoor garden, as a homestay, the detailed design is already very rich!
The private balcony can overlook the entire garden, and spend the most relaxing time in Shuhe.
The inn not only creates a fairytale scene, but also provides thoughtful butler service. The transportation is convenient and the facilities are complete. I am afraid of the cold, and the housekeeper also helped to install an electric heater in the room. Very sweet. There is also a clothing rental service in the lobby. If you come to take pictures alone, you don’t have to worry about not wearing beautiful clothes!
The roof garden is now a dreamlike mirror of the sky. Not only can you overlook the snow-capped mountains in the distance, but you can also see the panorama of Shuhe Ancient Town. At dusk, a blue sky is reflected here, and the clouds seem to be within reach.
The giant brown bear is the favorite for posing, and the European-style fountain is also the source of happiness for children. The childlike innocence is on the dolls of each iron chair, and is carefully designed in the shape of each flower border. There are countless angles that can’t be enough. It’s super good. Internet celebrity check-in place, you must live here when you come to Shuhe Ancient Town!

The entire Lijiang Eternal Scenic Area reproduces the grand scene of the ancient Tea Horse Road, and there are traces of caravans everywhere in Lijiang Ancient Town. Clanking the horseshoes to step out of the splendor of Lijiang, this story that has been passed down for thousands of years is shown on the stage by the emotional performances of the actors. The caravan with the task of transporting the imperial court and the Mufu set off. They bid farewell to their beloved girl and stayed away from their hometown.

Parent-child attractions TOP2: A blue moon under the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain
Appreciate the bustling and prosperous Lijiang through the ages, check in Lijiang's best parent-child destination TOP2, the beautiful scenery of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain.
Jade Dragon Snow Mountain is a group of snow-capped mountains in Lijiang City, Yunnan Province. It is the mountain range closest to the equator in the northern hemisphere covered with snow all year round. The main peak is steep and the highest point is 5596 meters above sea level. It is called "Oulu" in Naxi language, which means "Tianshan". Its thirteen snow peaks are continuous, like a "dragon" soaring and flying, so it is called "Jade Dragon". Because the lithology is mainly limestone and basalt, black and white are distinct, so it is also called "Black and White Snow Mountain". This is the sacred mountain of the Naxi people. According to legend, it is the incarnation of "Sanduo", the protector of the Naxi people. When the weather is bad, the mountain is closed by heavy snow and the cableway is closed. A few days before we went, Lijiang had just snowed, and the weather was a little unstable. Because there is no way to take pictures of the beautiful scenery of the snow-capped mountains with a baby, you must be cautious when traveling with a baby. It is inevitable that you will have uncomfortable symptoms when you come from the plains. For the sake of safety, we did not plan to board the big cableway, so we chose to see the beautiful scenery of the snow-capped mountains. Blue Moon Valley as a destination.
All the travel guides about Jade Dragon Snow Mountain that I checked before are very ambiguous, which is very troublesome for the confused free traveler. This personal experience found that if you don’t go to the big ropeway, you don’t have to worry about grabbing tickets and following the group. Tourists who mainly take pictures can go like this~~
Jade Dragon Snow Mountain is a large scenic spot, which includes Blue Moon Valley and the big cableway up to the snow mountain, as well as some other scenic spots.
Except for Lijiang locals, everyone who has not bought any kind of package ticket in advance must buy a mountain ticket of 100 yuan to enter the mountain (you can just take a taxi, and pay the toll on the road, similar to tolls). We are before entering the mountain. I bought oxygen on the way, 60 a bottle. It is said that it is much cheaper in the ancient city, but there are also guides that mention that there is fake oxygen in the ancient city, so I still hope that everyone will carefully identify it.
When you arrive at the visitor center, you can actually see a corner of the snow mountain. There is a prayer flag square next to it, which is very suitable for taking pictures. There is also a snow mountain market suitable for buying souvenirs, which is recommended for tourists with babies.
The weather was a bit bad. The tourists who had just boarded the cableway in the morning had already gone down the mountain. We ran into a family with a two-year-old baby on the road. They went up the cableway and punched the snow-capped mountain, but the baby kept crying and was not comfortable when he went down the mountain. , although there is no serious problem overall, it is better to be cautious.
The parking lot next to the visitor center can take pictures of the distant view of the snow-capped mountains. The snowflakes coming from the snow-capped mountains in the distance make the place more atmospheric. For those who dare not go to the snow-capped mountains with their babies and want to take pictures, please provide some information!
Among them, if you want to go to the snow-capped mountains on the big cableway, go directly to the visitor center to buy a big cableway ticket for 120 yuan (but it may be sold out, so make an appointment in advance to buy the big cableway ticket and bus ticket in the wx public account of "Lijiang Tourism Group" ), so you don’t need to buy tickets for Blue Moon Valley, the bus pass is 20 yuan, remember to bring your ID card.
If you don't go to the big cableway and only go to Blue Moon Valley (I am like this), you don't need to grab tickets at all! Just go to the bus station of Blue Moon Valley to make up the ticket, and sit directly at Shuiyue Pavilion, and the round-trip bus ticket is 20 yuan.
If you go to the Blue Moon Valley, there is a battery tour bus, which is an additional charge, basically you don't need to take it.
Beautiful scenery of Blue Moon Valley
The ice and snow of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain melted into a river passing through a valley at the foot of the snow mountain, because the moon reflected in the blue lake against the blue sky, and because the blue moon valley in "Lost Horizon" written by the British writer Hilton was similar to this. Hence the name "Blue Moon Valley". On a sunny day, the color of the water is blue, and the valley is crescent-shaped. From a distance, it looks like a blue moon inlaid at the foot of the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. The four larger water surfaces are known as Yuye Lake, Jingtan Lake, Lanyue Lake and Tingtao Lake. The vegetation around the lake is luxuriant, and the snow peaks are in the background.
Every stone and every plank road is an excellent photo spot. The weather turns fine in the afternoon, and the snow-capped mountains gradually become clearer. The lake water here is becoming clearer, blue without any impurities, just like the air in Lijiang, it is so clean that it makes people feel excited.
After a day of playing, the chubby fell asleep on his father's shoulder. To be honest, such a itinerary is very challenging for a baby!
On the return trip, take the bus when you came directly to the visitor center, and take the scenic bus back to the ancient city, 15 yuan per person, and then take a taxi to the ancient city.
Parent-child attractions TOP3: Meet Lashihai in the evening
The one-day trip to the snow mountain consumes most of our energy. We ordered takeaway directly at the hotel at night when we were tired. The next day, we didn’t want to bother at all. We changed to Dayan Ancient Town and followed the housekeeper of Tinghuatang all the way up the mountain to our first-class view. After getting into the room, have a good night's sleep. It was not until four o'clock in the afternoon that I started to prepare for Lashihai. We left the ancient city in a hurry and took a taxi. It was already close to five o'clock. The driver asked us why we were only going out now.
Entering the scenic spot, you will find that it is divided into two parts, one part is a small water surface with false scenery, and the other part is the natural beauty of the vast world. Walking along the wooden plank road, you can feel the harmony between man and nature.
Watching the migratory birds fly quietly, the clouds roll and the clouds relax. Although the sky is getting dark at this time, the whole family is in a happy mood. They walk hand in hand among the winding wooden plank roads and enjoy the wonderful time of travel.
Wetland parks are common, and Yeya Lake is also common, but the wetland park here in Lijiang, as if the blue sky and white clouds are close to touch, some gloomy winter evenings, surrounded by mist and floating clouds, the sky is particularly rich in layers, and the short-lived ray of sunset is even more beautiful. Let the picture in front of you be so beautiful that it is unreal, and the unrefined beauty of Yunnan flows in the frozen beauty.
[Secular Lijiang] Elegant Research
The ancient city of Lijiang is a bit "vulgar", with a wide range of commodities, tambourine music all over the street, bars and restaurants in the brightly lit alleys, but this worldly happiness is hidden in this ancient city in the mountains, where life is endless day and night, and the wood color is fragrant.

Live in the ancient city viewing room—— Tinghuatang
In Dayan Ancient Town, we still live in Tinghuatang. In the morning, we can enjoy the exclusive sunrise on the balcony, and the panoramic view of Dayan is so beautiful.
The traffic in this viewing shop is slightly inconvenient, but the scenery is definitely worth it! Moreover, there is a special person to transport the luggage up and down the ancient city, so you don't have to worry about the burden, and there are many delicious foods in the surrounding area. And there is a free breakfast when you stay here. The breakfast is rice noodles made by the aunt, which tastes great!
Address: Tinghuatang Private Garden Inn (Lijiang Ancient Town Panorama Store)
[Dayan Ancient Town] No. 51, Lower Section of Huangshan Mountain, Xinhua Street, Gucheng District
Entering from the small path, the winding path leads to secluded places, and it suddenly becomes clear. The flowers in the courtyard make me envious of the housekeeper here. The working environment is amazing! I really want to stay in such a garden every day.
This is a small courtyard of a villa. The entrance is the atrium, and we go up to our own room through the stairs.
Under the blue sky and white clouds, every flower blooms the most beautiful color of life. Although it is cold winter, it is more charming.
The entire inn is divided into the front yard and the back yard. Although the lobby is small and well-equipped, most of the rooms have a view towards the courtyard. The only room with a view is the one we live in! There is also a super comfortable rocking chair outside the window. But don’t worry if you haven’t booked a viewing room. The public balcony of the entire inn has a large area. There are Internet celebrity moons, children’s wooden horses, and viewing flower stands on it, which are very suitable for taking pictures.
The entire roof garden courtyard is super nice to shoot!
The room has a rustic European style. The yellow leather sofa is very eye-catching. It is also the favorite seat for Pang Pang to watch TV every day~ The room is well-equipped and the area is not small. The bedding is clean and comfortable, and the bathtub with a view is also beautiful. In winter Don't worry about it being too cold, the overall temperature of the central air conditioner is suitable, but I still miss the heater that can wear short sleeves haha!
The scenery of the private balcony is very luxurious, the most beautiful sunshine, the most beautiful ancient city.
"Look at the flowers under the hall, live while listening to the flowers", Tinghuatang B&B chain advocates a poetic life, as if you are sitting in a whole set of gardens, and the complicated flowers are the biggest feature here. , 2 in Shuhe Ancient Town, 1 in Lugu Lake, 1 in Dali Ancient City, and 1 in Erhai Lake, Dali. Still very quality assurance.
avoid pitfalls
The people of Lijiang are still very honest and simple. It can only be said that they have a very heavy concept of travel packages! ! I always want to pack a day trip for you. For young people with no burden and good physical strength, there is no problem. For parent-child families traveling with children, many things are tasteless. We just want to eat some local food and live in a beautiful place. Homestay, leisurely and leisurely enjoy a few days of parent-child time alone, walk through the beautiful scenery, immerse yourself in folk dances, don't hurry or get up early, free and easy, it is a super perfect family trip in Lijiang!
Thanks to the advanced technology now, takeaway taxis and various mobile payment, everything makes traveling much easier and simpler. In addition, don't try to be cheap, don't trust other people's words, just keep the network open and check online at any time. In 2020, I wish you all the best travel.
