Travel is a necessary experience in life,
near or far, there are always once. Speaking of tourism in western China, Lijiang is a place that must to go, everyone before leaving has always a
lot of expectations for there, and also has a different feeling.
First, take a plane to go to Kunming and then
from Kunming to Lijiang. The first day we arrived in Kunming, the provincial capital
of Yunnan, due to its warm weather for the whole year, it
has a nick name of 'the City of Eternal Spring'. After arriving at the airport, the local guide will pick you up at
the airport and transfer to the hotel. If the time enough, the tour guide will
bring you to visit the local attractions.
Tips:
Kunming is located at the
high altitude, due to the heavy sunshine, the sunglasses and sunblock are
necessary to bring;
2. The temperature here
varies a lot between day and night, keeping warm in night is important;
3. Many minorities live toghether in Yunnan,
when travelling here, please respect their culture and protect the environment.
The next morning, drive 90km to Stone
Forest.
There is a saying "it is a waste of time without being in Stone Forest
while visiting Kunming". It is the most remarkable nature phenomena, which
is consisting of innumerable bizarre shaped ancient limestone cliffs and peaks
created by wind and water erosion some 270 million year ago.
In the afternoon, drive
back to Kunming and visit the Golden
Temple,
which is the largest temple in China. Here you can see something of the origins
of Taoism as the temple is located on Fengming Hill, the home of the Taoist
Taihe Palace. Overnight in Kunming.
On the third day we take an early
flight to Lijiang. Lijiang is an ancient city, where there are many scenic
peaks. Most of the residents there are the Naxi people. I Remember, that Sun Li
earlier played a drama called Yimiyangguang. That story took place in Lijiang.
Although I was ignorant, but I still look forward to going Lijiang. Many drama
mentioned Lijiang, where the couple seems to go traveling a lot. Have a rest in
the ancient town of Lijiang. At night you can view the ancient streets or go to
a bar to meet someone new. (There are also bed and breakfast hotel, which have old
charm of wooden floor, and the price is good. But the hotel is also very good.)
Tips:
1. Sunshine in Lijiang is
strong, sunglasses and sunblocks are necessary;
2. In Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, walk slowly,
no acute exercise, no alcohol;
3. For those who suffered
from high blood pressure, coronary heart disease, and heart disease, do not go
to Jade Dragon Snow Mountain;
4.
When shopping in Lijiang town, bargainning is necessary. Usually you
can get the products only for 1/3 of the owner asked for.
On the fourth day morning we
will drive to the famous “Tiger Leaping Gorge”, which is famed among the
backpackers. It is one of the longest, deepest and narrowest gorges in the
world. On the way back to Lijiang, we will have a visit of First bend of the Yangtze
River. The Jinsha River flowed southward along the
Hengduan Mountain ranges and was forced to the turn to north because of the
Alpine movements which caused changes in the earth's physiognomy. When the
river reaches Shigu Township, it makes an abrupt turn and flows further
northward, forming the rare V-shape bend. Overnight in Lijiang.
Tips:
1. A pair of sport shoes or
climbing shoes, a hat and a pair of sunglasses are necessary;
2. Bring some water;
3. If only driving to see
Tiger Leaping Gorge, 1 day is enough for coming and back; If you want to have a
trek here, usually needs 3 days.
4. Please protect the
environment when travelling.
