About renting a car because we don't have much time to drive from Beijing, we chose to fly to Kunming first and rent a car in Kunming to start our self-driving trip.
Car rental company, we chose Avis. Because I have rented cars in this house many times at home and abroad before, it feels good.
The most important thing is: cheap! Cheap is king! Skoda encourages 89 days (including insurance), and personally feels that the price is very beautiful. Of course, according to the driver's experience, the car starts slowly, the power is a little poor, and there is no cruise at a fixed speed ... Hey, Skoda rents this price, so we don't want so much ~ ~
Although riding a mule is the primary route for hiking, for people who are physically weak or older, rain can only exist in the place names of travel books. However, this does not stop them from yearning for the rain collapse. Riding a mule seems to make it easier for Yubeng to walk. Actually, this is a misunderstanding.
No matter how expensive it is to ride a mule every day (300-350 yuan/person/mule), there are still many unsafe factors in riding a mule. It is often heard that * * * was injured riding a mule. Just a few days before we entered the mountain, someone broke his waist riding a mule and needed to lie flat. It rained. In the rain, a flatbed truck was specially approved to drive in and transport people out. Rain collapse has closed traffic since ancient times because of inconvenient transportation.
Secondly, riding a mule has many similarities with riding a horse. Riding for four days is a great test for the inner thighs, hips and waist. Once the leader was strongly asked by the guests to ride a mule together. After four days, the leader could only go home and rest. According to him, riding a mule is more tiring than walking. He would rather walk.
Riding a mule is to save effort. In fact, most downhill and steep uphill roads require mule riders to get down and walk by themselves, and then get on the mule when they get to a safe place. Therefore, it is a good wish to finish the rain avalanche on the mule. In fact, it is still necessary to get up and down, which is also for everyone's safety.
Traffic Shangri-La's scenic spots are far apart, and public transportation is very inconvenient (after all, we only have 2 days), so we choose to rent a car! Whole vehicle ~ high cost performance
Electric car: 238/ day, can run 140 km.
Car burning engine oil: 280/ day, the oil money is self-care.
Location of car rental: Gucheng parking lot (ask the exit toll collector, it is said that there is only one car rental)
Transportation: Because the city is too small and there is no airport, we can only choose a nearby airport. Fortunately, the high-speed rail is convenient now. You can take a walk from several airports in Xuzhou, Jinan, Nanjing and Zhengzhou to see which one is more cost-effective. Finally, it was decided to fly from Zhengzhou to Kunming, and the round-trip air tickets for two students 1 three people plus high-speed rail totaled 3,900 yuan. From Zaozhuang to Zhengzhou high-speed railway, from Zhengzhou East high-speed railway station-Xinzheng Airport special line, the train runs every half hour, and it is very convenient to transfer directly without leaving the station.
Transportation and self-driving 1. Rent a car, charter a car, anywhere (Lugu Lake is not sure about renting a car, but charter a car is ok). Big brands and small personalities can ask the front desk of the inn or book online.
2. If driving, slow down, watch, slow down, watch, slow down, watch, be sure to slow down, slow down! ! ! Look, look. ! !
Especially after the rain, there are more gravel and soil falling from Lijiang to Lugu Lake!
Especially after the rain, the first 50 minutes from Lijiang to Shangri-La are full of bends, sharp bends and slippery roads. The driver has mentioned it many times! ! !
Length and price reference 1. Lijiang Airport is an international airport with many flights and cheap prices. Anywhere between go to dali and Lugu Lake is very convenient.
