I have a new unit with winter and summer vacations, and I can finally have more time to travel. Although it is more expensive to have more people traveling during the holidays, it is still much better than nothing... It's time to travel alone for the first time in my life. After some deliberation, I decided to go to Yunnan. First, I went to Kundali once and I knew Yunnan well, and second, I felt that Yunnan was relatively safe... It feels great to make recommendations alone and book a hotel without having to discuss with others...

This time, Yunnan originally wanted to go to Tengchong, Xishuangbanna or Shangri-La, but in the end, I still had to go back to Kunming or Dali to transfer from Tengchong to Banna or Shangri-La. The ticket I bought was a flight from Beijing to Kunming. I really didn't want to trouble anymore, so I left Banna and Shangri-La for later and fly directly to play again.


Main itinerary: Beijing-Kunming-Dali-Tengchong-Chengdu-Beijing


DAY1, July 18: Beijing flies to Kunming, 07:45-13:30, Sichuan Airlines stops at Chongqing Wanzhou Airport.

Feinan made two stops in Chongqing, both at a small airport surrounded by mountains, where a beautiful small plane of Air China was parked. Afraid of loneliness during travel, I bought a book in advance and liked this kind of novel with prose and mood monologues.

A person was pulling a 26-year-old box, and the plane was transferred to a train, and the train was transferred to a bus. Only he knew the hardship, and he swore that no one would ever mention such a big box again...

It is still very convenient to take the Airport Express to the city when you come out of Kunming Changshui Airport. As long as you distinguish between Express Line A and B and don't get on the wrong train, the whole journey is 25 yuan...

Because the original plan was to be alone during the entire journey, the accommodation was booked based on the economy. Kunming stayed overnight and took a train to Dali the next day.

Accommodation in Kunming: Kunming Yuguang Art Hotel seems to be the kind that has several floors in a commercial building. Although it looks ordinary on the outside, the room is really clean, simply decorated, and the area is not small. The young lady at the front desk is very gentle and told me that the newly opened shortcut from the hotel to the train station is only more than 200 meters. When I came, I walked with a suitcase and walked more than 1 kilometer with a lot of difficulty.

I explored an Internet celebrity chicken offal self-service shop (Apeng Kei Qianjiang Chicken Offal) in advance, but originally it cost 10 yuan per person to eat the buffet alone for 28 people. Okay, let's just take it. Fortunately, the taste is okay.



DAY2On July 19, Kunming-Dali, trains took two hours, with many trains running every hour.

Because I left Banna and wanted to spend two more days in Dali, I really didn't feel the beauty of Erhai Lake during my first trip to Kunda. Let's feel it again... The one-person sea view room was still very painful, but fortunately I did not disappoint... The inn was not booked in Shuanglang and Dali Ancient City. These two Internet celebrity photo spots and tourist gathering spots are enough for me to go once without taking photos. The inn is located in the Laocheng District near Xiaguan. There are relatively few tourists here. This time, I just want to stay quietly by the Erhai Lake for two days. I can see the metasequoia in the Erhai Lake. When I am tired, I will be in a daze in my sea view room and experience the warm spring blossoms facing the Erhai Lake.

Accommodation in Dali: Dali Moss Seaview Inn, two nights (16 yuan by taxi from Dali Railway Station). I felt good after staying for two nights. It was mainly clean, the decoration was very romantic in Mediterranean style, and my favorite rice noodle for breakfast.

The inn is located on the edge of Erhai Wetland Park. In the evening, we strolled along one side of the park for nearly two hours. We decided to live nearby because we had learned about the presence of metasequoia in the wetland park in advance.

Some waterbirds just can't see clearly on their mobile phones.

I know all kinds of ways to surround the Erhai Lake, and parading around the Erhai Lake is the most powerful. (Actually, only this area can swim)

For a free park, this view is still good. From the inn, walk south along the Erhai Lake. After passing the Wetland Park, you will continue to walk along the Erhai Lake. You will turn back until you feel that you will not be able to go back no matter how far you are. The bad thing about this inn is that there are not many places to eat around. The young lady at the front desk said that they only order food when they eat rice noodles themselves. In the Wetland Park, I saw a big sister selling stinky tofu who bought a serving for five yuan. It was either bad or it didn't smell much. The chili noodles cut in the middle of the roasted tofu blocks were also very fond of these street snacks from all over the country.



DAY3, July 20, Dali Xizhou Ancient Town, Haishue Wetland Park

I walked from the inn to Dali North Bus Station in the morning and bought a ticket to Xizhou. The price was 8 yuan. There are many long-distance buses from the North Bus Station that can go to many places in the province and other provinces. More than an hour's drive to Xizhou... Coming to Xizhou is also a guide. Xizhou is a place in Dali where many Bai customs are preserved, and traces of ethnic minorities are basically no longer felt in other places.

It came early, and it rained intermittently that morning. When we arrived in the ancient town, there were not many people. The stone floor was wet, which was the standard feeling of an ancient town.

Strolling around Xizhou casually, the ancient town is not small in size. The front houses are used for business, and the people living behind are also indigenous people. I accidentally walked to this small courtyard and was stunned by the vegetation inside, which made me envious, who loved meaty meat.



I also love this small shop selling ceramic products in the ancient town, but it's just that fragile products are really inconvenient to bring them around long distances, so I can only take a look.

Xizhou Baba, which is very famous in Xizhou Ancient Town, bought a pork dish that was quite big. After eating less than half of it, he took it back to the inn and finally threw it away.

Mr. Zhu was deeply impressed by the last time he came to Yunnan to eat milk fans. It was something he would never eat again in his life. This time, I bought a serving (5 yuan) in Xizhou and sprinkled it with some honey. I thought it was not bad.

There are several small shops that sell homemade handmade jewelry. There are many varieties and beautiful ones. The price is not cheap. I hesitated for a long time and didn't buy it (always so ungenerous to myself...)

This house is the symbol of Xizhou...

I took a bungee ride from Xizhou Ancient Town to Haitang Park, and carpooled with a middle-aged couple in Guangdong. Both of them were teachers.

They are a very interesting couple who came out on a vacation during the summer vacation. They are still making fun of themselves when they are in their 50s. The three of us drove us from Xizhou to the gate of Haitang Park, waited for an hour and then pulled us back to the ancient town. The price was 20 yuan per person. It was really amazing to sigh at the simplicity of the Yunnan people.


I came to Haishue Park because I saw photos of Metasequoia on the Internet and liked the dilapidated beauty of dead trees forming various natural postures in the water. I just walked around my tongue and only found a small area with metasequoia, but I didn't see anything in the online photos. An area was enclosed on the tip of the tongue and some props for Internet celebrities to take photos were put on. Each person charged 5 yuan, but I had no chance.


One hour is enough to walk around Haizue Park. When I came out, I found a small shop selling souvenirs at the door. There were many interesting little objects, and it felt even better than the park. Haha, I just like these gadgets...

I bought Mr. Zhu a painting of the God of Wealth with armor and horse skills. Please bless me.

If you wear this felt hat on the street in winter...

Back at the front desk of the inn, my sister said that there was a dinner delivery event today. The room I booked was not included. Seeing that it was inconvenient for me to eat alone, she gave me a dinner. I was touched... Steamed chicken (judging from the color of this soup, it should be the local goo chicken. I have eaten all the contents, but I can't finish the soup), stir-fried pork and a local vegetarian dish similar to argue. Boss, did you ask me about my taste? Why are they all my favorites?



DAY4, July 21, Dali-Tengchong, long-distance bus 5 hours. The bus ticket booked by Ctrip was 188 yuan and was also responsible for picking it up at the door. When I came here, I saw that it was a 7-seater commercial vehicle. It was so comfortable... It rained six or seven times on the way. Looking at the scenery along the way and the rising clouds and clouds in the valley was also a pleasure. Sure enough, the scenery was always on the road.

Accommodation in Tengchong: Huaman Hotel in Tengchong, three nights. The inns in Heshun Ancient Town are basically two-story, and the second floor is more expensive than the first. The flowers are chosen because they are clean and the price is moderate. The owner of the inn is a girl in her 20s with a very straightforward personality. At that time, ticket inspection in Heshun Ancient Town was very strict. She picked me up at the main entrance of Heshun on an electric bike, carrying my big box in front of her and carrying me behind her, and dragged me through the back door of the ancient town to the inn. Later, I learned that Mr. Zhu would fly to Tengchong at night, so I arranged for a car to pick Mr. Zhu up from the airport and back to the inn for free. The most important thing is that we also gave us two tickets for Lotus Hot Spring, worth more than 500 yuan, allowing us to have a beautiful hot spring soak.

The innkeeper keeps a docile golden hair and a cage of cats. Every day, mountains, rivers, cats and dogs live a colorful life...

It rained for four consecutive days in Heshun for four consecutive days, which made me feel a little annoying because I like rainy days... I didn't expect that there would be so few tourists in the ancient town during the summer vacation. Walking quietly and looking at various small shops was not going to visit scenic spots one stop after another, nor was it going to find a seaside and face the sea every day. Humanities and leisure are my favorite way to travel.


I successfully joined Mr. Zhu and had my first decent meal in four days, which was also the beginning of the skyrocketing meal costs... Calculate that I only spent 130 yuan on eating and drinking for four days alone, but this meal is 200 less. I wanted to eat the local specialty copper spoon beef, so I chose the most popular mother's taste and ordered a group meal. The beef was very delicious...

A boy who paints wall paintings feels that these people are so talented...

Looking at this season's scene in Miao Village, Guizhou Province, Huang Lei felt very fresh to cook in a pit. Entering this pottery shop, there was also a pit for decoration.

Rattan weaving is also a local specialty. The craftsmanship is very fine and every piece is beautiful. However, the price is not cheap, so I hesitated but didn't buy it.

Walking down the street from the inn is the morning market. Locals buy goods in this morning market, and it only opens for half a day and closes at noon. After looking at it, there were nothing unusual. There were many sellers of chicken fir oil, but it was said that there were no chicken fir fungi in it.

For a breakfast in the town, two bowls of rice bait, one fried dough stick and one roasted bait cake cost only more than 20 real money. It was too cheap...



DAY5,July 22, a one-day trip to Tengchong

I signed up for a one-day trip at Ctrip, including Volcanic Geopark, Pillar Joints, Heiyu River, and Beihai Wetland Park. After knowing that there were hot air balloons in the Volcano Park, I was full of excitement. Finally, the hot air balloons could not be lifted off because of the light rain. It seems that the dream of hot air balloons can only stay in romantic Turkey.

When I saw someone saying that the Dakongshan volcano is just a big pit, it was boring, but I thought it was not bad. Climbing up the crater, the air was filled with the freshness of rain, soil and vegetation, which dissipated the emotion of not riding on a hot air balloon.

Columnar joints are a naturally formed landscape. After getting off the bus, I took a look and went on to Heiyu River.


There are many macaques sitting on a big tree not far from Heiyu River. When they saw tourists jumping over with bananas in their hands, many people took food and attracted a group of monkeys to feed them. Unfortunately, I don't like monkeys.

The same water source of the Heiyu River flows through two roads at this boundary, with one side clear and the other turbid.

The small grilled fish from Heiyu River is said to be available only in this river. It costs ten yuan each and tastes very delicious.

I found a farmhouse for lunch on the way from Heiyu River to Beihai Wetland Park. The copper pot rice was delicious. The local potatoes had a different taste, and the content was not only on the surface, but also rich inside.

The tempura version of lotus leaf tips returned to Beijing and still missed the taste. Unfortunately, Beijing did not sell lotus leaf tips, so I wanted to find a place with more lotus leaves to pinch some and fry them home...

This fried chicken fir fungus costs 108 yuan. After watching so many delicious food programs, I know that the chicken fir fungus is most delicious when it is half-opened. It is time to combine theory with practice. It's just an illusion to taste the sweetness carefully...

Beef stir-fried chuen chuen. The first time I ate chuen chuen, it turned out to have the flavor of celery, and the taste was stronger. All the strange taste was a great love.

The local bitter gourd wanted to try this unknown species, but Mr. Zhu refused to eat bitter gourd...

In the afternoon, we arrived at the Beihai Wetland, a very cool place, but it was a little freezing in this windy and drizzly weather.


I want to play with a bamboo raft, but Mr. Zhu doesn't want to play, hey...

This back reminds me of a song, summer blown by the wind...

The tour guide kindly added a hundred miles of lotus flowers to the scenic spot. As soon as we arrived, the rain started to rain. Walking in the lotus pond with an umbrella in the wind and the rain, the scenery was really beautiful and I was completely immersed in the rain.

I went back to the inn to take a bath and change clothes and continued to wander out, but I just couldn't stay... Walking to Zhongtian Temple in the back mountain

In the evening, I continued to eat at a popular restaurant. The small potatoes still did not disappoint, and the Pu 'er beef tasted better. Who said that eating at an Internet celebrity restaurant might not feel good but would not step on thunder? That's right.



DAY6,On July 23, Lotus Hot Spring was soaked

Take the hot spring bus from the entrance of the ancient town directly to the hot spring early in the morning. Lotus Hot Spring is said to have the most vegetation. Indeed, there are more than 20 pools of size and size that you go to will feel like private soup. Since when did people who couldn't take hot springs start to like hot springs?

This picture was commented on by a person who had basically no contact in the circle of friends on a big belly. Can you click on the picture and pay attention to the size of the belly? Do you love me... I wanted to flip my lips back, but I wanted to forget it, Buddhism...

After returning to Heshun Ancient Town and then developing a place that I had not been before, I took this favorite photo despite the pattering light rain... Walking into the pavilion to shelter from the rain, I saw the inscription inside. It was a local overseas Chinese who came back in his later years and funded the construction of this water pavilion.



DAY7,July 24, Heshun Ancient Town. Flying from Baoshan to Chengdu in the evening

There is a rice noodle shop at the bottom of the street at the inn. Two bowls of rice noodles and one serving of beef offal seem to be more than fifty yuan. Rice noodles really won't bother eating three meals a day...

I said I would take a hand-in-hand photo every time I go to a place, why do I always forget...

After checking out on the last day, I found a cafe in the ancient town to spend time in the afternoon. It actually had three floors. The small terrace on the top floor was also good to sit and have a cup of coffee in good weather.

The rain kept falling... Mr. Zhu bought his favorite Nanhong bracelet.



DAY8,On July 25, Du Fu Cottage and People's Park drank tea

Accommodation in Chengdu: Jinxiu Mandarin Hotel (Chengdu Jinli Wuhou Temple Store), two nights. I chose this hotel because it is in the city center, close to popular attractions and not expensive. The room is not small and sanitary. It is convenient for buses around to go anywhere.

I really don't know how many people there are in Heshun Ancient Town until I reach Chengdu. It turns out that Chengdu is such a popular city... I chose Du Fu Cottage between Wuhou Temple and Du Fu Cottage.


Drinking tea is a symbol of leisure life in Chengdu. Let's also experience it... The area where people's park drinks tea is already crowded. After looking at it, it should be full of tourists. We can't find a real teahouse where Chengdu people drink tea...

Walking back, I finally had a free seat. I ordered two bowls of tea without melon seeds, and I also had to buy a bag of cha-cha from the nearby canteen... Bamboo leaf green is the best to drink. Drinking tea in the open air while sweating while drinking tea on the ground on the dog day, which is very good.

There are more people in Jinli at night. After eating several snacks for dinner, Chengdu people's nightlife is also quite rich.

I like shadow puppets so much. I will definitely buy a pair next time I see them on a trip.

The little boy singing at the entrance of Wuhou Temple at night would probably be popular if he was more attractive.



DAY9,July 26, Kuanzhai Alley

The next day, we continued to stroll through the popular wide and narrow alleys, with many people

There is an Internet celebrity sugar and oil fruit near Kuanzhai Alley. It is called Master Yang. It costs 4 yuan a string is very delicious.

There is a Sichuan restaurant next to Du Fu's Cottage. There are many adults in the area. Fortunately, the waiting time is not long. The three dishes only couple's lung slices are not bad. Why are Mapo tofu made with sauce? It's all the taste of sauce. Maoxuewang has no intestines or eel, but it's a small crispy meat. However, the dish is large and not expensive.

Maojiao Hot Kuanzhai Alley Store, and there is an online celebrity shop queuing up for a waiting list. Rabbit waist and tooth tip crispy taste super good for the first time. The pig brain I love feels average, including the pig brain on the roadside. I don't think it's as delicious as Dacheng Zui skewers... The string is 60 cents, and I still feel that it is very cheap after eating and checking out.



DAY10, July 27, Qingcheng Mountain

Accommodation in Chengdu: Chengdu Xipu Tianhe Yaduo Light Residence Hotel, two nights.

I plan to go to Qingcheng Mountain for a day, because trains to Qingcheng Mountain depart from Xipu Station, so Chengdu will be moved to near Xipu for the last two nights. I first chose Aduo, who loved it, and used to her favorite style...

I bought a small set of travel cups and brought them out for the first time.

In a noodle shop near the hotel, Mr. Zhu's favorite noodles with mixed sauce are served with the eel he is longing for.


There are too many people in Qingcheng Mountain. The elderly are free of charge. Many elderly people come here early in the morning to play, and by the time we go up the mountain, they are already returning home.

The murals on the stone wall when the Qingcheng Mountain cableway went up the mountain... From the planned walking up and down the mountain, to walking up and down the mountain and down the mountain to watch the scenery, and finally going up and down the entire cableway, it was still hot and tiring. Tickets for Qingcheng Mountain plus cableway are not cheap, and all the attractions in Chengdu feel expensive...





DAY11,July 28, Chengdu-Beijing

Sunning a volcanic stone flowerpot bought from Heshun Ancient Town and matching it with my favorite dendrobium. So far, the moss on the pot has all dried up and the flowers are half wilted. I know that this flower will not survive in the north, but I still want to try it...


Cost: A total of 12264 yuan (excluding hand companions, N more hot pot bases and gadgets)

Outbound air ticket and return high-speed rail, Tengchong-Chengdu air ticket: 6080 yuan

Other transportation: 820 yuan

Accommodation for ten nights: 3078 yuan

Meal: 1420 yuan

Attractions: 866 yuan


PS: My first travel novel. I hope it can be of some help to the friends I see and give myself a more detailed memory... All the photos were taken with mobile phones, and some of the photos were posted to the circle of friends with beautiful pictures (incidentally, the photos of Apple X make people want to smash their phones in minutes)... Friends who like to travel can add me to chat on WeChat: lulu790530
