  • Travel Tips

    Traveling through Dali and Lijiang offers stunning scenery and rich cultural experiences, but a few practical tips will ensure your journey is smooth and enjoyable. First, high-altitude precautions are important: Dali and Lijiang are at higher elevations, so avoid alcohol, strenuous exercise, and stay well-hydrated to prevent altitude sickness. Sunscreen, sunglasses, and hats are highly recommended due to strong UV rays and dry air.

    When taking high-speed trains or transfers, keep your phone accessible and arrive at stations early to collect tickets. Your tour staff will assist with pickups, but maintaining contact is essential. In towns and scenic areas, it is advisable to carry hotel business cards to avoid getting lost.

    Dress in layers: mornings and evenings can be cool, while daytime may be warm. Comfortable walking shoes are recommended for exploring old towns, flower gardens, and scenic areas with trails, bridges, or glass walkways. Some attractions, such as Dongba Secret Realm, include high-altitude paths and glass bridges—avoid them if you have vertigo or health concerns.

    Respect local customs and traditions. In Bai and Naxi areas, people maintain unique cultural practices; be polite when photographing locals or attending performances. For meals, try regional specialties like Bai Eight Bowls and Naxi Chicken Hotpot, but be mindful of portion sizes and food allergies.

    Keep personal belongings secure, especially in crowded old towns and popular photo spots. Carry water and light snacks during excursions, and supervise children closely. For photography enthusiasts, sunrise or early-morning visits offer the best lighting at scenic spots like Erhai Lake and Shuhe or Dali Ancient Town.

    Lastly, always follow your guide’s instructions, check local weather before heading out, and allow flexibility in the schedule for unforeseen delays. A positive attitude, curiosity, and respect for local culture will make this 3-day journey through Dali and Lijiang unforgettable.
