Sharing a four-day, three-night trip to Lijiang
First of all, Lijiang is really a beautiful place, well worth the visit to experience it~
Let's start sharing!!!
☁️Lijiang Ancient Town Food and Shopping Guide
1. Zhazha Rice Noodles✨
They are really delicious, the best I had during those days, a bit pricier but the service and taste are beyond reproach. (ps: The Spoon Rice Noodles with strong wind I also tried were just average, and the recommended Fermented Rice Wine Milk was also just so-so)
2. Little Chef's Private Kitchen
This restaurant didn't quite suit our taste, those who like to try new things might give it a shot, but the Steam Pot Chicken tasted rather bland and tough.
3. Dongba Auspicious Bells Specialty Store✨
The shop owner is very kind and interesting, offering Naxi handwritten ornaments and wind chimes, which make meaningful souvenirs for friends!
4. Yunnan fruits are also very tasty, they can be cut into small pieces but the prices really vary, so it's better to shop around for stores with lower unit prices.
☁️Baisha Ancient Town
Not as commercialized as Lijiang Ancient Town, but still very crowded, and it's not easy to get a taxi, you have to walk a bit further out.
1. Yunwei Ji✨
Yak meat hotpot, great environment, great taste, and a good amount of meat, a set meal is enough for two people. I think the radishes were even tastier than the meat, haha.
2. Shanzai Noodle Shop✨
Stumbled upon this shop after lunch, ordered their homemade dried apples, tea drinks, and cake rolls, the environment is very nice! The owner's family is particularly friendly, there's a big dog in the yard, and a little cat inside, both very cute. Their rooftop terrace offers a view of the snow mountain, very quiet and personally, I think it's better than those popular photo spots!
3. Baisha Ancient Town Chili Sauce✨
You can mail four bottles, tasted really good, sent some to friends, and if you're interested, you can buy some too.
☁️Shuhe Ancient Town
It's really quiet here! Not very commercialized
✨Huya Coffee
Excellent service! The weather was great when I went, lying on a recliner enjoying the view and basking in the sun, ordered a tea and dessert set, really very comfortable!!! Highly recommended! Also met the shop's cats and dogs, played with them for a while with the staff, it's a small shop where you can sit for a long time and feel very happy!
🫡Finally, let me share about the hotel!
The first two days we stayed at an accommodation arranged by the bridal shop in Lijiang Ancient Town, to be honest, the living environment was very average, and the soundproofing was poor, it was also very cold at night! I do not recommend choosing homestays in the ancient town.
👍Highly recommend Right View Snow Mountain Boutique Hotel
The environment is really good, much better than the cold folk customs, top-notch service! The breakfast is delicious, includes a shuttle service (cost shared half and half by both parties), after all, Sanyi Airport is far away and a taxi alone costs 100+
Finally, I recommend a Yunnan restaurant very close to the hotel!
✨Yingchunhui Restaurant
We went there twice in four days! The Random Cut Beef is really delicious, almost a must-order at every table, try to ask for it a bit spicier.
(Be mindful of the dining hours when you go, there are often queues at the door)
