[quote=PULLTEA ,8271]In the case of you want to go out from Lijiang town, to where you can't reach by bike, you may consider to charter a car/jeep. The normal rate is approx. RMB500 per day (with a driver). Talk with the driver a day before the tour. Better go with tourist car/minivan (with a green pinetree logo on it). These cars are registered with YunShan tour company, with insurance covered for passengers. How to find them? Go to YHA hostel, they can recommend you a good one.( or others?) There are many reception counter for independent travellers in the old town,you have to be very careful. From what I can see, unless you really want to take your time and spend your lazy day in the Lijiang old town, black dragon pool..or Shuhe, you might want to go out from Lijiang as well. Tiger Leaping Gorge is a good choice.In fact, you can covering the Lijiang Old town on foot, a good exercise. Black Dragon Pool's Entrance is only 10 minutes walk from the Windmill. Shuhe is 13 km from Lijiang. Entrance fees to Shuhe village is RMB30, half of it goes to driver's pocket as an introduction fee. Cycling is an good idea, if you can take a back route to the village.Most of the double standard rooms in Lijiang old town are between RMB40 - 50 during off peak season. You can always look for a better one. :-)Wish you a happy holiday.[/quote]
