Hi all,

Having now left China and we thought we'd leave a few tips/hints about Lijiang and Shangri la and hope they'll be of use to someone:

Lijiang:

Moon Inn - great place to stay - 200RMB for a big double, breakfast and laundry included;

Blue Papaya restaurant: don't skip the local Naxi food - ask the waitress to recommend and then enjoy;

Prague Cafe: for chilling out;

Begging Monks - aren't real monks so ignore;

Town Ticket - 80rmb rip off to allow you buy tickets for everywhere else;

Yulong Snow Mountain: you need to either go on a tour or hire your minivan and driver (150rmb for day) and then pay another fee in - about 140rmb entrance and hire of coat and oxygen another 70. Latter should be based on your own judgement. Oh yes, what glacier?? You cannot make your way by public bus to each vantage point.

Naxi Holy Grounds: Brilliant, interesting, spooky, evocative..between Lijiang and Yulong, off to west. Local minivan driver will know.

Shuhe: village 10 mins from Lijiang - 30rmb admission or ask taxi to drop you at back entrace. Lijiang without too many tourists.

Baisha: nice cycle but not on main rd. Get local map.

LTG: check weather conditions in hotel - do NOT believe minivan drivers. 2 people killed there three weeks ago we believe.
