[2024 Yulong Attraction] Travel Guide for Lashihai Wetland Park (Updated Nov)

Kayaking Adventure at Lashihai: Battling Winds and Making Memories in Lijiang

#kayak #lijiang #china #lashihai One of the must-do activities in Lijiang is kayaking at Lashihai. We joined a local day tour that included horseback riding along the historic path, followed by kayaking at Lashihai. As someone who loves kayaking, I was excited, but the wind that day was exceptionally strong. Controlling the paddle became a challenge, and the wind pushed our kayak further and further away. No matter how hard I paddled, I found myself spinning in circles, unable to make any progress. It wasn’t until a staff member came to help that I finally managed to paddle back to the shore. It was a truly unforgettable experience. Despite Lashihai being a wetland park rather than a sea, making it feel more like kayaking on a lake, the outing was still enjoyable. Though the water wasn’t particularly clean, kayaking with a group of friends made it a memorable and fun adventure.

Lashi Lake and the Ancient Tea Horse Road in Lijiang

Lijiang, Yunnan, a place filled with romance and mystery, where every piece of scenery seems to be a masterpiece of nature, leaving visitors enchanted. Among the many attractions in Lijiang, Lashi Lake Scenic Area stands out as a dazzling gem, shining with captivating brilliance. Lashi Lake, located about 10 kilometers west of Lijiang city in the middle of Lashi Dam, is not only the first nature reserve in Yunnan Province named after a 'wetland,' but also a place full of legendary charm. The name 'Lashi,' derived from ancient Naxi language, means 'new barren dam.' It was once part of the ancient geosyncline in northwest Yunnan and, after billions of years of geological movements, has formed the current highland basin. At the center of this basin lies a clear lake, vast and boundless, with an altitude of 2,437 meters, offering a breathtaking beauty. In this inland province of Yunnan, such a large lake is affectionately called 'sea' by the locals, hence the name Lashi Lake. It is not only a place of natural beauty but also rich in cultural history. One of the main attractions for visitors here is the horseback riding experience on the Ancient Tea Horse Road. This ancient trade route witnessed the hardships and legends of countless caravans. Today, visitors can retrace this ancient path, riding horses through the mountains and forests, experiencing the culture of the caravans. The rugged mountain roads and the careful steps of the horses make every slip and misstep a thrilling experience, allowing visitors to deeply appreciate the resilience and perseverance of the caravan people. Besides horseback riding, the unique landscape of Lashi Lake Wetland Park is another highlight. Within the park, large swathes of reeds sway in the wind, aquatic plants grow abundantly, and the vast marshlands create a unique lake and wetland scenery. Here, visitors can fully enjoy the beautiful landscape of lakes and mountains, feeling the magical charm of nature. During the bird-watching season, it becomes an important habitat for many migratory birds, such as black-necked cranes, egrets, and herons, providing a visual and spiritual feast for visitors. On this beautiful land, there is also a hidden and stylish club—the Youyiju Private Club. Located in the picturesque Shuhe Ancient Town of Lijiang, this club covers a large area and is renovated from three connected Naxi houses. The club is well-equipped, including uniquely designed guest rooms, a self-service kitchen, a restaurant, a tea bar, a book bar, a wine cellar, a spa, and a home theater, providing a comfortable and leisurely space for visitors. Here, visitors can escape the hustle and bustle of the city and enjoy a rare moment of tranquility and comfort. Of course, a visit to Lashi Lake Scenic Area would not be complete without experiencing the unique 'lake porridge sharing.' In the lakeside restaurants, visitors can taste delicious porridge made from local specialty ingredients. The host will serve the fragrant porridge in small bowls and hand them out to the visitors one by one. This unique way of sharing porridge not only allows visitors to feel the warmth and simplicity of the locals but also gives them a deeper understanding of Lijiang's food culture. The Lashi Lake Scenic Area in Lijiang, Yunnan, is a tourist destination that combines natural beauty, cultural history, and leisure experiences. Whether it's appreciating the beautiful lake and wetland scenery, experiencing the ancient Tea Horse Road culture, or tasting the unique lake porridge, visitors can leave with unforgettable memories. The presence of the Youyiju Private Club adds a touch of mystery and style to this beautiful land, attracting countless visitors to explore and experience.

Lashihai, the delicate white cauliflower blooming quietly on the water...

#roadtrips #100WaysOfTravel Lashihai, the scenery is beautiful, the air is fresh, and it is also particularly quiet and comfortable, unlike the hustle and bustle of the ancient city of Lijiang... There are Wohu Mountain and Qinglong Mountain in the north, Sleeping Beauty Mountain and Moon Bay in the west, the shining Zhiyun Temple and Snake Mountain in the south, Wenbi Mountain and Ma'an Mountain in the east are in sight, and the jade dragons in Kaohsiung in the distance, and in an instant, they hide in the shallow Lashihai and dissolve in the blue sky and white clouds. The Lashi Sea in winter is the best season to watch migratory birds. Thousands of migratory birds soar above the lake, sometimes standing on the branches, sometimes diving to the water. The scene is particularly spectacular.

A small, tranquil village in Lijiang worth visiting

Lijiang·Poduo Village Located in the mountains beside Lashihai, it is just a mountain away: on one side is the famous scenic spot that is the postcard of Lijiang, and on the other side is a secluded village rarely visited by people. The village has only more than 20 households, and from the totems on the walls, it seems to be a Yi ethnic settlement. I really envy the people of Lijiang who can see the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain wherever they go. In addition to the quiet ancient village, Poduo also has a hiking route that takes only 6 hours. After crossing the mountain, you can reach another niche check-in place—Wenhai Village. If you don't want to get too tired, you can also stroll around the forest entrance. Summer is the best time to pick mushrooms, and you must experience it when you come to Yunnan. Starting from Shuhe Ancient Town, it takes 1.5 hours, passing through Lashihai Wetland and Zhiyun Temple. Recommended travel route ➡ Poduo - Dayu Village (outdoor sea view coffee) - Zhiyun Temple - Hainan Dike (watch the sunset) A light hike of about half an hour through a piece of primitive forest brings you to a meadow with a wide view, high mountains, and low clouds, until you can see the entire back view of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain without any obstructions. Looking around, it's so spectacular!! Hiking in nature really has the power to heal everything! Important notes, must read! 1. There is no signal in the primitive forest and it is easy to get foggy, so it is strictly forbidden to go alone. 2. In summer, there are snakes, insects, and leeches. It is recommended to wear long sleeves + long pants + boots + hat, and it is best to tuck your pants into your socks. 3. In a zero-commercial natural village and forest, you need to bring your own dry food and take your garbage away when you leave. 4. Do not eat wild mushrooms randomly.

Listen to advice, when traveling in Yunnan, you must join a semi-free small group tour!!!

Listen to advice, when traveling in Yunnan, you must join a semi-free small group tour!!! Just finished a 5-day trip to Yunnan, and I can't stop thinking about it! The beautiful scenery and culture of Yunnan are simply mesmerizing. Here are some of my feelings and tips that I have compiled to share with everyone. If you are planning to go to Yunnan soon, make sure to save this! ✨Day 1: Lijiang Ancient Town Lijiang Ancient Town is indeed a 5A-level scenic spot, where vehicles are not allowed, and the management is very good. Small bridges and flowing water, quaint buildings, we strolled around the ancient town and tasted the local delicacies of Lijiang, especially the cured pork ribs hot pot, which was absolutely delicious! Be sure to walk to the highest point of Lijiang Ancient Town to get a panoramic view of the entire town~ Some small alleys are very suitable for taking photos, and I personally think the night view is even more beautiful~ - ✨Day 2: Jade Dragon Snow Mountain Jade Dragon Snow Mountain is a landmark attraction in Lijiang. First, take the cable car, then walk. There are really many people this season, but you can avoid the crowds by finding the right angles for photos. Spruce Meadow and Blue Moon Valley are unbelievably beautiful! However, be aware that you might experience altitude sickness, so it's best to prepare an oxygen bottle in advance. - ✨Day 3: Shuhe Ancient Town, Lashi Lake Wetland Park, Shaxi Ancient Town On the third day, we went to Shuhe Ancient Town, a quiet tea-horse town that has retained its original appearance. Shaxi Ancient Town is one of the filming locations for 'Where the Wind Stays', a peaceful town that is well worth a visit! Sitting under a tree, daydreaming and playing with dogs, it allows you to momentarily empty your mind~ - ✨Day 4: Shuanglang Ancient Town, Santorini, Dali Ancient Town Shuanglang Ancient Town in Dali is a place far from the hustle and bustle of the city, with Cangshan Mountain to the west and Erhai Lake to the side, it's simply beautiful! The afternoon tea in Santorini also allowed us to enjoy a rare moment of leisure. Be sure to visit People's Road in Dali Ancient Town at night, buy a drink and listen to everyone's stories~ - ✨Day 5: Erhai Lake, S Bay On the last day, we went to Erhai Lake and S Bay, riding bicycles and enjoying the breeze, it was simply wonderful! There are many coffee shops along the ecological corridor, and S Bay is also a great place for taking photos~ This time, I was too lazy to make an itinerary, so my friends and I directly joined a 5-day 4-night pure play small group tour. The overall itinerary was not rushed, and the driver was a local who kept teaching us how to avoid pitfalls. Overall, we didn't encounter any major issues. I truly believe that a trip should be enjoyed slowly. If you are also planning to travel to Yunnan, don't hesitate, pack your bags and set off!

Heed the advice, go to the free sea

On the way from Dali to Lijiang, passing by Lashi Lake, with a try-it-out attitude, I headed straight for the park charging 80 yuan (entrance fee + boating). After entering, I followed the tour guide for a round and then spent another 120 yuan on a prayer blessing (this was actually worth it, as I am quite superstitious), but the scenery inside is really hard to describe in a word, and the boat was a real letdown, with no desire to row at all. In the end, I chose to take the staff's boat back to the entrance of the scenic area❤️ I just want to say that Chengdu's free parks are indeed better than this one. ✨✨Navigation Positioning: Jixiang Leisure Fish Farm✨✨ ❤️Enter from the fish farm, directly opposite the solitary tree, the whole area is a natural wetland, everyone must remember to take their own trash. On the way past the park, there is also a grassland and a herd of horses, which is also very beautiful, the whole area is very beautiful, I strongly recommend it to everyone.

The beauty of Lashi Lake is boundless

Lashi Lake is located in the middle of Lashi Dam, 10 kilometers west of Lijiang City, and is the first natural reserve in Yunnan Province named after "wetland", adjacent to the colorful rose base. "Lashi" is the ancient Naxi language translation, where "La" means barren dam and "Shi" means new, signifying a new barren dam. Lashi Lake was originally part of the ancient trough in northwest Yunnan. During the Mesozoic Yanshan movement, it was folded and uplifted into land, and by the Miocene, it became a quasi-plain. With the development of the orogeny of the Hengduan Mountains, by the end of the Pliocene to the beginning of the Pleistocene, this quasi-plain under the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain was divided into three plateau intermountain basins with relative height differences of 100 to 200 meters, namely Lashi Dam, Lijiang Dam, and Qihai Dam. Be sure to come and see it if you have the chance!

I declare, this is the most beautiful Lijiang in my heart

This time I visited Lijiang, I found that its beauty has been enhanced. Under the blue sky, white clouds, and at the foot of the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, the scenery is picturesque. Staying in the Lijiang ancient town and playing around Lijiang is also great, with attractions like Black Dragon Pool, Lashi Lake, Mu's Residence, and so on, all worth visiting! 📍Black Dragon Pool Park I've been to Lijiang many times, but this is my first visit to Black Dragon Pool. It's a free park with clear mountains and waters, shaded by willows and bright with flowers. There are some ancient buildings around, such as the Dragon God Temple, Deyue Tower, Suocui Bridge, Jade Emperor Pavilion, etc., which, along with the distant Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, reflect in the water, creating a stunning view! 📍Lashi Lake I used to resist the attractions in Yunnan, always feeling that the free scenery was beautiful enough. This time at Lashi Lake, it felt like a paradise. I didn't go horse riding; just walking around and looking was very comfortable. Walking around the wetland, the wind blew the reeds, causing ripples! 📍Lijiang Ancient Town After the rectification of Lijiang ancient town, there are fewer tourists, but it feels better than before. The ancient town is full of ethnic charm. Walking up the stone-paved road to the commanding height of Wangu Tower, staying at a guesthouse on Lion Hill, you can overlook the entire ancient town of Lijiang and experience a leisurely slow life!

Lashihai | A solitary tree, a free wind

🌟 The winter at the Lashihai Migratory Bird Bay is exceptionally tranquil, with only the occasional cry of seagulls breaking the silence. On the vast grassland, a lone tree standing by itself catches the eye, its shadow elongated by the sunlight, accentuating its solitude. Solitude is an inevitable part of our lives, profound and enduring, real yet hard to articulate. As the Hungarian literary master Sándor Márai said, 'Solitude is conscious being alone, not punishment, not a sign of withdrawal, nor a quirk, but the state of being truly existent as an individual.' Solitude is like the thin air, a poem, a small world. When we understand and appreciate solitude, we meet the true self. ⛰️ Under the pure blue sky, the sunlight outlines the contours of the snow-capped mountains, melting away the chill of the morning, leaving only the howling wind that makes the wheat fields and the lake surface undulate. The lake shimmers, dotted with light, resembling the scene of 'a boat full of starry dreams pressing on the Milky Way,' and I can hardly believe my eyes, the lake surface actually presents a golden color, twinkling with light. 🌾 The sunlight dyes the vast grassy slopes into a brilliant golden yellow, with the wild grass showing a clear transition from yellow to green, and the slender tips of the grass shining in the sunlight like luminous bodies. Seagulls soar in the sky, their graceful posture as if the embodiment of freedom and romance. It is said that Lashihai is a habitat for migratory birds, with more than 80 species of birds wintering or resting here each year, making it the crown of Northwest Yunnan. 🦙 In the distance, on the grassland, two Tibetan antelopes are always grazing with their heads down, never looking up, indifferent to the noise around them, focusing on enjoying the delicacies, seemingly unconcerned about charging five yuan for photos with tourists, facing everything calmly, without being flustered by honor or disgrace. Perhaps this kind of leisurely life is where true happiness lies. 🌬️ The wind at Lashihai Migratory Bird Bay in winter is strong, blowing in all directions, wanton and free. Today, wearing a fleece hat and a windbreaker, I can barely withstand the strong wind, but no amount of wind can stop the seagulls from flying freely. The wind is free, the lake is free, and solitude is also free. Standing in the mountain ravine, with the howling of the wind, I feel the freedom in life!

Lashi Lake Horse Riding

I had no idea what I was getting myself into. this package really includes a everything you need. for 198¥, I was picked up from Lijiang ancient town, taken to ride a horse for about an hour and a half up a mountain with breathtaking views, fed lunch, and taken to a flower village for even more photos and a small boat ride. I was lucky to have a local person to help me because I would have been lost, but I’m so grateful for the experience!

Compared to the nosiy of the ancient city, Lashihai is quiet. Lashihai is a nature reserve named after wetlands, whose ecological environment protection is still good.

Is Lijiang Lashihai worth visiting recently? Lijiang Lashihai has always been a must-have for many tourist travel projects. Some time ago, Lashihai was rehabilitated and many seaside clubs were demolished. This news has brought a project to Lijiang's traveler plan list, so there is still no need to go to Lashihai. Some time ago, I went around with friends and found that there was still a play. Many inns can book a day trip. Includes a lunch and horseback riding, which is much more formal than when you go in 2013. Lunch is a local chicken hot pot in Lijiang, which tastes very good. There are also specialties such as Naxi barbecue. When eating, there are Naxi natives singing and dancing performances, which are very ethnic. After dinner, you can choose to ride horses or play in the orchard. Riding time is 1.5 hours, and it is recommended to do sun protection measures along the way. Lijiang's ultraviolet rays are not a joke. You can stop taking pictures while riding, have a rest pavilion and free tea. The last section has a specially created photo base that can be played freely. Red swing, glass ball, sky, nest, etc., suitable for all ages. There are also colored jeep cars that can take pictures of concave shapes. Overall, the Lashihai after the rectification is more formal and there is no invisible consumption. For family outings, it is still worth punching.
