Lijiang 3-Day Relaxed Trip｜Say No to Special Forces! Live Life Like Poetry

The romance of Lugu Lake is so pure that even your naps are wrapped in the lake’s crisp water～ A 3-day slow trip with no rush, every moment is so beautiful you’ll want to save it on your phone! Day 1: Head to the mountains and fields, discover hidden photo spots ⏰ Depart at 6 AM! Self-drive straight to Shanhe Coffee Camp Skip the repeatedly visited Jade Dragon Snow Mountain and head straight to a lesser-known pond near the camp🌿 The green mountains reflect on the clear water surface; no need to find an angle, every shot looks like a masterpiece of sunlight on the mountain After shooting, go back to the hotel for a nap, focusing on relaxation～ In the afternoon, rent a set of ethnic-style clothes in the ancient town (choose big skirts + embroidery, perfect for photos!) Leisurely drive to Lugu Lake, arriving at sunset just in time by the lakeside The inn owner is super thoughtful, arranging the dock for watching the morning mist the next day in advance Dinner features the local steamed stone pot fish, incredibly fresh! Day 2: Morning mist wonderland + starry sky beer, the pinnacle of romance At 6 AM, a small queue has already formed at the dock, luckily it’s worth the wait! Mist slowly drifts over the lake, distant mountains wrapped in light veils, fishing boats faintly visible in the fog The moment the morning light pierces the mist, quickly snap photos; the original shots look like they have filters applied～ After shooting, return to the inn for hot rice noodles, then enjoy a blissful nap! In the afternoon, stroll slowly along the lake, the outrageously blue water + Gesang flowers on the shore, wearing ethnic clothes makes every photo full of atmosphere At night, lie on a deck chair in the inn’s courtyard, open a bottle of chilled Lugu Lake beer🍻 Look up to see a sky full of stars, the Milky Way so clear it seems within reach, the evening breeze tastes sweet～ Day 3: Lazy ending, return full of everyday life vibes Wake up naturally in the morning, wander and eat around the inn Grilled milk fan is sweet but not greasy, local chicken rice noodles so fresh you’ll stomp your feet, all authentic Yunnan flavors In the afternoon, pack up and head back, no tight schedule, just beautiful moments at your own pace This slowed-down time is probably the best way to travel～ 📍Little Tips: ✅ For sunlight on the mountain, check the sunrise angle in advance ✅ Wait at the dock for the morning mist, take the earliest pig trough boat to enter the fairyland directly ✅ Wear light colors! White/cream matches perfectly with the morning mist and golden mountains (see my hanfu and coat!) ✅ Keep warm packs + thick scarves on you! The lake breeze is colder than your boyfriend’s mouth🥶 ✅ For morning mist, be sure to coordinate the dock with the inn owner in advance; fewer people and better photo spots early in the morning ✅ Rent ethnic clothes with skirts, better for lakeside photos ✅ Must try Lugu Lake beer, if lucky, enjoy it on the mountaintop under the starry sky—amazing!
