| Lijiang | Advice on a 5-day trip in Lijiang Posted: Sat September 26, 2009 07:10 AM UTC
Hi,
am going with my bro and aged mum to Lijiang for a 5 day trip. We have confirmed a hotel booking and are planning to go the following places: Yulong Snow Dragon Leaping Tiger Gorge Shuhe Baisha Black Dragon Pool Lijiang Old town What are the best ways to visit these places? Should we book 1-day tours or just find our own transport and walk around. Please advise! We are still deciding on whether to book these 1-day tours on the net or find an agent in Lijiang on our first day there. Also, are there any other not-to-be missed attractions in the area? Thanks!

| Lijiang | Travel Agent recomendations? Posted: Fri September 18, 2009 03:45 AM UTC
I've been doing research on Lijiang travel and am considering maybe a trek of couple of days to Tiger Leaping Gorge and visiting some of the sights in Lijiang. There are many agents on the internet but if I can get some recomendations on reliable ones it would be very much appreciated.
I'm looking to make my own arrnagements to Lijiang and then the tour to cover the land arrangements. Thanks. |

| Lijiang | Good hotel accommodation in Shu He Gu Zhen and Lijiang Gu Cheng Posted: Tue July 14, 2009 11:52 AM UTC
Would appreciate recommendation of good hotels (in terms of cleanliness and service) in both locations (with attached bathroom). There are numerous hotels around Gu Zhen which are reasonably-priced, western and traditional naxi style. Websites providing hotel info provide little info and without tourists' review
Thanks! |

| Yunnan Sheng | ALTITUDE SICKNESS IN ZHONGDIAN Posted: Sat July 11, 2009 11:36 PM UTC
Lonely Planet warns regarding altitude sickness in Zhongdian . Could someone refer to this ? I have been to Lijiang before and was not at all disturbed . Could the difference in elevation have such dramatic effect ?

| Yunnan Sheng | HELP!!!! Easter trip... Posted: Tue March 10, 2009 09:31 AM UTC
Hi all
Planning a Yunnan nature trip this coming easter. Below is my draft IT: Day1: fly directly to Lijiang. visit the old town, take in night scenery Day2: take a day trip to Dali - is this worth going? the three pagodas and some old towns? Day 3: spend the day in LiJiang - YuLong mountain, Shuhe old town. Take night bus to ZhongDian OR take early morning bus to ZhongDian Day 4: arrive ZhongDian (or is this Deqing?) Tiger Leaping Gorge, Potala gardens Day 5: want to go see the BaiShuiTai, but i dont know how to get here. Pls help! Day 6-7: Kunming wonders Questions: 1) my IT sound feasible? any suggestions to add more scenic spots, and what areas to skip? 2) is zhongdian and deqing two different places? if yes, can we cover both in 2days? special mention to the BaiShuiTai (the calcium pools) really need your inputs esp point to point travel times between Dali, LiJiang, ZhongDian/Deqing and their respective places of interest. Start pouring in VTers! |

| Yunnan Sheng | Travel advice Posted: Mon November 24, 2008 12:08 PM UTC
I will be entering the Yunnan from Laos at Mohan (i think). I am looking to go to Tiger Leaping Gorge and Shangri-La immediately as to avoid the coldest of the winter. What I am looking for are ideas that combine cheap with quick. Cheap being most important. I will have time to see the rest of Yunnan and Guangxi afterwards, but am going to rush through to the northern part. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

| Yunnan Sheng | Few questions for trip. Posted: Mon March 31, 2008 07:28 PM UTC
Hi all
Hoping someone can help me with a trip here. I'm planning to go at end of December as this is the time I have available. I want to see the main places in 16 days (Kunming, Lijiang, Dali, Tiger Leaping Gorge, Zhongdian). I would also like to fit in 3 days in Guilin/Yangshuo and think that I can do this on the way as I will be flying to Guangzhou. 1. Is December a decent time to go? I heard that the Li river doesn't do boat rides all the way to Yangshao (I know this is not in Yunnan). 2. Will there be enough time to see the places listed (14 days in total as 1 day each way to fly to China)? 3. Is it possible to fly from Zhongdian back to Guangzhou? Or maybe from Zhongdian to Guilin? Thanks for any help! best regards mike |
