A Must-See in Lijiang! Stunning Snowy Mountain Ancient Town, Every Frame is Movie-Level Cinematic!

A Must-Check-In in Lijiang! A breathtaking ancient town at the foot of the snowy mountain, perfect for movie-like shots anytime! This place is truly a fairyland destination~❤️ ✨ Top Reasons to Recommend: 1️⃣ A must for Jade Dragon Snow Mountain trekkers! A visual feast at over 4000m altitude, breathtakingly beautiful🏔️ 2️⃣ The ancient town area is stunning! Moss-covered stone slabs with red lanterns, every snap is wallpaper-worthy💕 3️⃣ The magical lake water of Blue Moon Valley, Tiffany blue so unreal~ 📍 Detailed Address: Gucheng District, Lijiang City & Yulong Naxi Autonomous County, Yunnan Province 🚗 Complete Transportation Guide: 🚖 From Ancient Town to Snow Mountain: Private car 100 RMB/person, about 40 minutes (sharing a ride with friends is more cost-effective) 🚌 Within the Scenic Area: Shuttle bus directly to Blue Moon Valley, super convenient! 👣 Inside the Ancient Town: Walking is recommended (but the stone roads are really not suitable for dragging suitcases, learned the hard way😭) 🔥 Must-Check-In Route: 1️⃣ Lijiang Ancient Town Waterwheel - The landmark check-in spot of the ancient town! Early morning has fewer people and soft light, shooting red lanterns with front light is very atmospheric~ - 📸 Tips: Best shooting time is 7-9 AM 2️⃣ Mu Mansion - The "Forbidden City" of the Naxi people, climb to the top of Wanjuan Tower for a panoramic view of the entire ancient town! - 🏯 Ticket: 60 RMB 3️⃣ Blue Moon Valley - The Tiffany blue lake at the foot of the snowy mountain, the most beautiful spot is at the boardwalk corner~ - 💧 Best photo spot: near Baishuitai 4️⃣ Jade Dragon Snow Mountain 4680 - Plateau snow mountain challenge! The sense of achievement at the summit is overwhelming (remember to buy oxygen tanks in advance) - ⚠️ Tickets must be purchased 3 days in advance! 🌟 Hidden Check-In Spots: 🌙 Sifang Street Night Scene: When the lanterns light up, it feels like traveling through a thousand years 🌲 Spruce Meadow: Stunning in winter, a holy place for wedding photos! 💣 Pitfall Prevention Guide: 🚫 Don’t buy silver jewelry over 30 RMB (mostly Yiwu goods) 🚫 The aunties who braid colorful braids will insist on extra charges, agree on the price beforehand 🚫 For cured ribs, trust "Ama’s Home," most other places are not authentic 🍲 Foodie Guide: 🔥 Cured Rib Hotpot: Ama’s Home (South Gate of Ancient Town) is the most authentic 🌹 Flower Pastry: Make sure to buy freshly baked ones! The sweetness is just right 🍜 Chicken Bean Jelly: The old lady’s stall in the ancient town is a must-try 💕 Tips: It’s best to reserve 3 days: 1 day for the ancient town, 1 day for the snow mountain, plus 1 day to rest Bring enough sunscreen! You know how strong the UV rays are on the plateau😎 Big temperature difference between morning and night, remember to bring a jacket~
