What precautions should I take to be ready for Lijiangs high altitude areas?
Some travelers may be unaccustomed to high elevations, and upon arriving in Lijiang may want to plan a day to acclimate before heading up to higher elevations or doing strenuous travel in the area. Travelers should always pack and drink plenty of extra fluids to avoid dehydration. Local hospitals, clinics and the Guanfang Hotel (as do other hotels) has oxygen kits available for tourists, some of which can be taken along on tours.
