**🗺️ Where to Start** Begin your trip at Dayan Old Town, the historic heart of Lijiang. The ancient cobblestone streets and canals are best explored early morning before crowds arrive. Most hotels are within walking distance of the Old Town entrance at Square Street (Sifang Jie). **🏛️ Day 1: Old Town Highlights** Spend your first morning at the Mu Palace (Mufu), a grand complex that once housed local rulers. Entry costs 60 RMB and it opens at 8:30 AM. Afterward, wander through the nearby Black Dragon Pool Park, which offers iconic views of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain reflected in the water. **🍜 Local Food Spots** For lunch, head to A Niang's Kitchen on Wuyi Street for authentic Naxi cuisine like yak meat hotpot. Dinner at the popular Baisha Ancient Town, a 20-minute bus ride north, offers quieter streets and local eateries such as Baisha Naxi Restaurant. Budget around 80-120 RMB per meal. **🏔️ Day 2: Snow Mountain Trip** Dedicate your second day to Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. Take a taxi or bus from Dayan (45 minutes, 30 RMB by bus) to the base. The Glacier Park cable car costs 180 RMB and runs from 7:30 AM to 4:00 PM. Book tickets in advance during peak season. **🚌 Getting Around** Public buses connect Dayan to nearby attractions; route 7 goes to the snow mountain base for 15 RMB. Taxis within the Old Town area cost around 10-20 RMB. For a scenic route, rent an electric bike (50 RMB/day) to explore the countryside between Dayan and Shuhe. **🌿 Day 3: Shuhe and Baisha** On your final day, visit Shuhe Ancient Town, a quieter alternative to Dayan, just 15 minutes by bus (route 6, 2 RMB). Explore the tea horse road relics and the Sifang Street market. In the afternoon, continue to Baisha for its famous murals at the Dabaoji Palace (30 RMB). **🌙 Best Evening Spots** Evenings in Dayan come alive with bars and music along the canals. The Bar Street near Sifang Jie is lively but touristy; for a relaxed vibe, try the quieter lanes around Wenchang Palace. A cup of local Pu'er tea at a teahouse costs around 40 RMB. **💡 Practical Tips** Dayan's altitude is 2,400 meters, so take it easy on day one to avoid altitude sickness. Carry cash as many small vendors don't accept cards. The best time to visit is spring (March-May) or autumn (September-November) for mild weather and clear mountain views.
