Travel essentials: 🎒Lijiang-Dali March trip, don’t forget to bring these things!
👗 Clothing: In March, the temperature difference between day and night in Lijiang and Dali is large, so it is recommended to bring a light down jacket, long-sleeved shirt, and jeans. Don’t forget comfortable sneakers so that you can walk on the cobblestone streets of the ancient city.
🎩 Accessories: Hats and sunglasses are essential for sun protection, and you can also bring a shawl to keep warm and add a touch of style. You should also prepare rain gear as it occasionally rains in March.
🆔 Documents: Special documents such as Mainland China ID card, student ID card, and driver’s license (if you plan to rent a car). Bring some cash with you, as some small shops may not support electronic payments.
💊 Other articles: Altitude sickness medicine, cold medicine, and gastrointestinal medicine for emergencies. You must also bring sunscreen and moisturizer. The ultraviolet rays on the plateau are strong, so moisturizing is essential.
