I believe many friends think like the editor. Traveling is definitely not just for the rich. You can travel even if you don’t have much money. In this article, the editor will tell you about Lijiang budget travel. How it should be played. How much does it cost to travel on a budget in Lijiang
Consumption in Lijiang is really not high. The editor stayed there for a total of ***12 days and spent less than 3,000 yuan a day.
Since we are traveling on a budget, we need to be prepared in every aspect. Below, I will detail it with you in terms of clothing, food, housing, transportation, equipment, shopping, and attractions. 1. Go
As little as possible to change trains, direct travel is the cheapest and most convenient. You can search for air tickets online (Alipay or Ctrip, etc.) APP website half a month in advance. The editor is from There is a direct flight from Wuhan to Lijiang, and the minimum cost is about 350 if you buy a ticket every half month. Wuhan Airport low-cost airlines also allow you to bring suitcases, which saves you money on checked luggage (checked luggage is really expensive, if you have If you really can’t take your things on a plane, I suggest you send them by express delivery, which is definitely cheaper than shipping them).
2. Equipment
If you want to save some money, it is best to bring commonly used things, toothbrushes, towels, etc., bring everything you can, such as makeup remover for girls You can’t bring things like lotions and lotions on the plane. If the things you want to bring are expensive, send them by express delivery first. If they are cheap, go and buy them later. There are also supermarkets in the local area. 3. Clothes
Lijiang has a large temperature difference between day and night, and the temperature changes greatly in the morning and evening. Bring clothes that are easy to carry. In summer, bring a dress, a single jacket, and a pair of trousers that can be worn with several tops. . In fact, you don’t need to buy too much clothes, because there are many shops selling ethnic costumes there, and they usually cost 40 yuan a piece. The material is cotton and linen, which is very distinctive. I only wore two of the boxes of clothes I brought. set, and the rest I wear every day are ethnic costumes bought locally. It’s really wonderful to experience them. And after buying them, I won’t be able to wear them when I go back to my hometown. It will feel weird, so I wear more while traveling. 4. If you want to save money on accommodation, then stay in a youth hostel. You don’t have to worry about accommodation in Lijiang. This tourist city is already very mature, so places to stay can be found everywhere. There are hotels, hostels, hotels, and inns everywhere. You can search for a youth hostel where you want to stay on Meituan. A single room costs about 100 yuan a night, a double room is generally 60 yuan a night, a four-person room is 40 yuan, and a six-person room is about 25 yuan. In fact, the accommodation in the youth hostel We are all friends from all over the world, and the atmosphere is very good. When we are free, we hang out together, eat together, watch TV in the living room, and chat about our own stories. It is very comfortable, and maybe we can meet people with similar interests. I want to have an affair, so there is nothing wrong with staying in a 6-person room. Some hotel owners are very nice to talk to. Just kidding, your accommodation fee can be reduced a lot. The owner of the youth hostel where I stayed was very humorous and often played with the big guys. In the end, I stayed there for 10 days and stayed in all room types, including double rooms, single rooms, and six-person rooms. However, when guests come, they make room, and when no guests come, you can stay in a good room. The final checkout is also the same price, with a discount of 20 yuan a night. Looking back now, it is still very beautiful, and it is not as good as what is posted online. fear. 5. Food
The editor doesn’t skimp on food at all, because I save a lot on other things and I can have a good meal.
The most representative one is Yunnan flower cake. Some delicious brands include: Yami flower cake. The skin is very thin and the filling has a strong flower flavor. It is my favorite; Pan Xiangji flower cake, the skin is not very thin, but the filling is filled with jam-like things, which is very soft; there are many other flower cake brands, I won’t go into details. Anyway, the taste is not as good as the first two, so I will eat the first two That's enough.
Yunnan coffee, there are many coffee houses in the alleys of the ancient city. If you don’t like coffee very much, you can ignore it. If you like coffee, you can go in and taste it for free. The coffee here is very cheap, and a big can is the best. It’s five yuan cheaper. Because I don’t know how to taste this, I think it tastes good even for five yuan.
Tea cakes are also available in many streets and alleys, not only in the alleys of the ancient city, but everywhere. Tea cakes usually cost 100 yuan for 4 cakes, and some in better locations sell for 100 yuan for 3 cakes. Tea cakes and tea are actually the same. The prices of tea cakes vary. Good tea cakes are very expensive. Tea cakes cost several hundred yuan per cake and can be bought as gifts for your family to drink. They are very good.
Rice noodles, the most common rice noodles here are not the "Yunnan Crossing the Bridge Rice Noodles" from other places, but the "Local Chicken Rice Noodles". If you want to find the top rice noodles from other places, you have to look for them. In fact, native chicken rice noodles are the most authentic Yunnan rice noodles, which are very fresh and tender.
Chicken Soup Rice, this is the most delicious meal that the editor thinks is the most delicious in the ten days I have been in Lijiang. I will not get tired of it three times a day, but I will eat fat. The address of the most delicious restaurant is There is another exit further up from the south gate. The name is XX brand local chicken rice noodles. It is delicious and very cheap. It costs 9 yuan for a big bowl. The chicken nest is 5 yuan and there is really a big nest. I can’t finish it. , the chicken liver is 3 yuan, which is also a very big one, so I won’t say more, the last picture:
Then there is the cured pork ribs hot pot. I don’t like cured meat so I haven’t tried it, but I heard from my colleagues It is said to be very delicious. Friends who are not averse to bacon can try it. 6. Shopping
I really talked a lot about food just now... As expected, all the money is spent on food. Those who don’t like to eat may save a lot of money, and it is not expensive to buy food. Yes, the things worth buying in Yunnan are silverware and jade. These two stores are also located in the alleys of the ancient city. The editor recommends that if you want to buy, it is best to go deeper and buy in a store that is not in a very good location. This will be cheaper, but the silver is cheaper in Tibetan. Silver, the silver content is not very high, but it is also a special feature, and the price of silver is not expensive. The same goes for buying jade. I heard that the jade in Lijiang is only bad and not very fake, because fake jade is more expensive. It is more cost-effective to buy jade if you know how to do it. Just don't follow the tour guide and trick you. 7. Attractions
Finally, we are talking about tourist attractions. If you want to have fun at the attractions, just buy tickets normally. Tickets are not expensive. If you really have no money... you can also consult the owner of the youth hostel. , the editor’s boss at the time knew how to evade fares... I won’t say much more. Anyway, I highly recommend going to Blue Moon Valley and Lugu Lake. The water is really beautiful.
No PS, purely shot with a mobile phone, the water is really blue.
Seeing it with the naked eye is really like a dream~ In fact, it was cloudy when I went there, and it was still raining. A local friend said that the water was not particularly clear because of the cloudy and rainy days. It’s not particularly beautiful anymore. The editor would like to say that this is beautiful enough. I really want to come here again on a sunny day.
You can also go to Tiger Leaping Gorge, which is very spectacular, but you need to wear something relatively relaxed, as climbing mountains and wading in rivers is tiring.
There is almost no snow in Jade Dragon Snow Mountain now. If you want to see the snow, you can wait until the weather is colder. It is also very beautiful. If you live nearby, you can go see the sunrise in the early morning. It is very, very beautiful, like a dream. .
You can consult the owner of the accommodation and the local travel agency for these. It only costs a few hundred yuan, which is not expensive. There is nothing to consume in the scenic spot, so you don’t have to worry about being dragged into buying things.
Finally, the consumption in Lijiang is really not high. The editor lived there for a total of ***12 days and spent less than 3,000 yuan a day. I didn’t save any money. You can also eat. You can choose a few scenic spots that you are more interested in. You don’t have to go to all of them, which will be too much for your body. Especially in plateau areas, many friends need to take oxygen when they go there. Anyway, I wish you all a good time.
