Lijiang 3 Days and 2 Nights: The Perfect Itinerary!

My dear friends, if you're planning a trip to the beautiful Lijiang, please listen to my advice… As a native of Yunnan, I'll personally guide you on how to explore Lijiang in depth, avoid all possible tourist traps, and fill your journey with unforgettable plateau scenery! Imagine standing beneath the majestic snow-capped mountains, witnessing the breathtaking sunrise over the golden peaks, and capturing those stunning photos with your camera📷. ### 1. Lijiang In-depth Travel Guide **Day 1: Ancient City Charm and Natural Wonders** - **Day 1: Lijiang Ancient Town ➡ Dongba Valley ➡️ Jade Dragon Snow Mountain ➡️ Blue Moon Valley ➡️ Yunshanping ➡️ Yak Meadow** When you come to Lijiang, you can't miss the sunrise over the golden peaks! The water in Blue Moon Valley is crystal clear, like nature's palette, requiring no filters. Yunshanping and Yak Meadow are must-visit spots, but remember to book in advance to avoid missing the best viewing times. **Day 2: Ancient Town Exploration and Ethnic Customs** - **Day 2: Shuhe Ancient Town ➡️ Lijiang Impression Show ➡️ Flying Flowers Touching Water Show ➡️ Baisha Ancient Town ➡️ Yuhu Village ➡️ Black Dragon Pool** The stunning beauty of Yuhu Village is unforgettable. Compared to other places, Baisha and Shuhe Ancient Towns are less commercialized, with fewer crowds and a more tranquil atmosphere. The Lijiang Impression Show is an absolutely soul-stirring experience, especially the "Horse Caravan Legend" story, which is both thrilling and deeply moving. The bonfire party and group dancing in the evening were my favorite parts of the trip. **Day 3: Ancient City Exploration and Local Life** - **Day 3: Big Water Wheel ➡️ Zhongyi Market ➡️ Mu's Residence ➡️ Wangu Tower ➡️ Dayan Flower Alley ➡️ Sifang Street** The architecture of Mu's Residence is exquisite, with expansive views that will leave you in awe. The night market at Zhongyi Market is a great place to sample local snacks. The grilled Rushan cheese and fried potatoes are particularly memorable. ### 2. Lijiang Food Guide **Malubianbian:** This restaurant offers a wide variety of skewers, using disposable hot pots for a healthy and delicious experience. The nostalgic decor makes you feel like you've traveled back in time. **Chijungke Wild Mushroom and Dried Pork Rib Hot Pot Yunnan Ethnic Cuisine:** When in Lijiang, you must try authentic Yunnan cuisine. The ethnic dishes and dried pork rib hot pot here are not to be missed. **Li Jia Huobao:** This small, affordable stir-fry restaurant is a local favorite. The "Old Lady Potatoes" and stir-fried "Watery Poplar Flowers" are refreshing and delicious, and the dry-fried shredded potatoes are unique. **Pomegranate Courtyard:** This rooftop cafe offers stunning views of the snow-capped mountains. Here, time seems to stand still, allowing you to experience unparalleled relaxation. My dear friends, the beauty of Lijiang lies not only in its scenery but also in its profound cultural heritage. I hope you can experience this unique emotion and create beautiful memories on your journey. Let our travels be more than just passing through; let them be true experiences and insights.
