Day 1 Xishuangbanna (overnight)
Yunnan, I traveled deeply with friends 12 years ago. The regular route I took at that time was basically quite comprehensive, so this time my personal plan was to take some niche routes that I had not been to back then. The first stop was Xishuangbanna mainly met with my best friends, so the B & B we booked was only one street away from their family. In the morning, we made an appointment to have breakfast at the nearby morning market and take a stroll. Traveling and visiting the local farmers 'market is a big hobby of mine. There is a morning market opposite where we live. We simply had breakfast in the market, and the car rented online was delivered to us at the door of the hotel. It was only yesterday. The new car I mentioned hasn't even arrived yet had its license plate.

First stop: Manting Park

Manting Park is the oldest park in Xishuangbanna. It used to be the imperial garden of Dai kings. The scenic area embodies the three major themes of "Dai royal culture, Buddhist culture, and Dai folk culture". Although it has been raining lightly, it is not hot or exposed. Many female tourists change into Dai national costumes and take photos, which is very appropriate to the situation.

Photo description: The park is connected to the main Buddhist temple, and the temple does not accept tickets

Photo description: This small building is all made of wood and is quite beautiful
At noon, I had lunch at a restaurant called Cocha Danfan near the park. I ordered vegetables and flowers that I couldn't eat at home. Although it was just a small roadside shop, they all tasted very good ~

Second stop: Xishuangbanna Botanical Garden Botanical Garden is the most high-quality scenic spot worth visiting in Xishuangbanna. The flowers in the park are gorgeous, the beauty of borneol, the charm of palms, the charm of cycads, the clarity of hundreds of bamboos, and the smoking of hundreds of spices are dazzling; Wonders of tropical rainforests such as "old stems grow flowers","strangulation phenomenon","single tree forest", and so on can be found everywhere. I like flowers and plants, and I don't want to be wrong about each of them. I can only pat them...

Dinner was at Jingxiangyuan Dai Flavor Restaurant recommended by Xiaohongshu. I tasted the authentic Dai flavor and ordered a lot of dishes. The flavors were all very good and unique. Because they were so delicious, I forgot to take photos of many dishes. Haha! Cultivation of eating food.

The next day, Xishuangbanna-Pu 'er (Accommodation)

I woke up in the morning and saw that the meat grown at the entrance of the hotel was particularly beautiful, so I still went to the morning market for breakfast. Today, I tried local snacks and used a hard glutinous rice to make small dishes. Then we set out and avoided the crowd today and mainly went to a few niche attractions. Although we didn't charge tickets, they were very exciting. I took pictures beautifully all day.

Photo description: I use a hard glutinous rice to mix it with various small dishes here. It is a local special breakfast. In addition to the hard glutinous rice, I am not used to eating it, but I also think it is quite delicious.

First stop: Prajna Temple

Because the Dai people are the main ethnic minority in Xishuangbanna, and the Dai people believe in Buddhism, there are many temples. Prajna Temple is far away from the hustle and bustle of the city. It is very quiet and peaceful. It is a quiet and peaceful white pagoda. The entire tower is white, so it is also called the White Pagoda. It is a bit similar to the White Temple in Chiang Mai. This stupa is not big, but unique in style. There is a large stupa in the middle and two small stupa connected on both sides. The shape is the same in all four directions. The white pagoda is solemn, sacred, quiet and peaceful against the blue sky and white clouds.

Second stop: Daixiang Shuicheng
Dai people love and respect water; Dai people have chosen water to live since ancient times. Dai Township Water City is a wonderful idea of this city. It draws the Lancang River, which flows day and night, into the city. By treating and utilizing the original water system, the clear Lancang River water system runs through the city, forming a beautiful water leisure loop line and forming a complete Dai Township Water City, demonstrating the water culture of the Dai people in Xishuangbanna and creating a more charming, magical, beautiful city. We changed into the Dai costumes that our best friends had prepared at home and started patting again...(But please ignore my meat that has nowhere to place)























Third stop: Da Jinta Temple
Jinghong Shwedagon Pagoda, also known as the Shwedagon Pagoda of Myanmar, is located in the core position of Gaozhuang Xishuang Scenic Area. It is grand and tall, majestic, resplendent, and beautifully designed. It is located on the north bank of the Lancang River. The temple faces north to south. It consists of a Buddhist pagoda and a Buddhist foot stone and a wishing platform built by the allusions of Buddha's three visits to Banna. Shwedada Pagoda is a newly built stupa in modern times. It is a stupa with the color of southern Buddhism, reflecting the cultural essence of Hinayana Buddhism in Xishuangbanna and the Mekong River Basin. It is also a good place to take photos.

At noon, we ate at a small restaurant called Caicai Dining next to the gas station. After lunch, we set off separately for the next destination-Pu 'er.(Taking the train) For dinner, we had chicken soup next to the B & B in Pu' er. I forgot to take pictures when I ate it. After eating and drinking, I came across the blooming giant epiphyllum while holding hands with my fat boy.

Photo description: Lunch, bitter beans. There is a little bitterness when it comes to the mouth. It tastes quite delicious when eaten carefully

Day 3 Pu 'er-Maitreya (Stay)

Browsing the ancient city of tea and horse, all of which are post-modern, highly commercial and boring, but the sea of flowers in the tea and horse ancient road park is my favorite with my friends and I. It was another beautiful photo ~ After that, I visited the Pu 'er Tea Museum in the city to learn about the history and culture of Pu' er tea. After lunch, set off for the third destination-Maitreya. (High-speed rail)

The fourth day Maitreya (night)

In a large B & B we booked in Maitreya, a group of 10 people lived together. Instead of renting a car, they changed to online ride-hailing or taking a taxi.

First stop: Colorful Cloud Pool

In the morning, we went to a good place I found while doing strategies at home: Jinping Mountain Colorful Cloud Pool. The Colorful Cloud Pool is located in Jinping Mountain Scenic Area at the foot of the foot of Jinping Mountain next to the Maitreya Buddha Buddha. The "Colorful Cloud Pool" in Dianxi Wetland is high and low green flowing water. The blue sky and the white transformation of the clouds are reflected in the cloud pool, as if you are among the clouds, like a fairyland on earth.

Photo description: Looking at Jinping Mountain from afar, the colorful cloud pool echoes the Longhua Pagoda. The sky, pagoda and clouds have merged into a natural picture scroll. I admire the infinite charm of nature and admire the craftsmanship of the designer and builder. When you personally stand next to the colorful cloud pool, you can understand firsthand what a "cloud pool" is. The blue sky, white clouds and mountains are reflected so beautifully through the pool ~

Photo description: Walking on the stone trail, bathing in the sun, and looking at the water landscape, it is refreshing and refreshing. Maitreya Colorful Cloud Pool is a free sky mirror attraction and is worth a visit

Second Station Dongfang Jing Scenic Area

Since I decided to come to Maitreya, I have paid attention to the unique architecture of this scenic spot. It is said that the inspiration comes from the wine bottles, large and small, expressed in red bricks: pure, mysterious, and magical. Although it is a completely artificial attraction, the photo effect is very good and it is specially taken out. It's just that the sun is particularly hot today, and I went back and found that most of them were sunburned. Yunnan is a place where the temperature is not high but the ultraviolet rays are particularly strong. You can easily get sunburned without realizing it, so you must protect yourself from sun protection ~

Dongfang Rhyme Scenic Area is an art town that integrates leisure vacation, Buddhist culture, folk experience, and ecological tourism, but we only stayed in red brick buildings and flowers of flowers (some missed the blooming time, and many were dried up).

The fifth day Maitreya (night)

On the second day in Maitreya, we chose to soak in the hot springs. There are many hot springs in Maitreya. We searched for a long time and decided to go to the Maitreya Red River Valley Hot Spring Villa. This is a hot spring located in the mountains and requires a boat to reach. The steaming hot spring water flows freely in the mountain stream. The facilities are relatively simple but better than natural. The fly in the ointment is that the herbs are too abundant. During this period, there is a small black insect that almost bit us all red dots. It is very itchy and seems to be allergic. It was still itchy even when I got home.

Photo description: Waiting for the boat, the hot spring is in the mountains opposite. The lakes and mountains are particularly beautiful ~

When we came back from the hot spring, we found a restaurant called "Old Maitreya" where local people were lining up. It mainly served as Old Maitreya's specialty snacks.

The sixth day of Maitreya-Dali (night)

Taking the high-speed train from Maitreya to Dali, I was separated from my best friend's family (she had to work), but the B & B she booked for us online was very good. It was next to Erhai Park and you could see Erhai Lake from the balcony of the living room. After checking in, we came down and went for a walk in the park. The sea breeze blows, and the water surface is calm, clear, with lush water and grass. White flowers are blooming on the water surface, and small waterbirds are feeding in the water. In the evening, the local brother (the brother of my best friend's husband lives in Yunnan) took us to a small shop known only to the locals to taste authentic Dali-style food.

Day 7 Dali (night)

I had been to Dali during my trip 12 years ago. This time I came mainly to accompany another best friend who had never been here, so the itinerary was only arranged for one day. In order to have the best possible time, we booked a chartered car tour around the lake online. Dali Erhai Lake is named Erhai Lake because it looks like a human ear. It is 40 kilometers long from north to south. It is the second largest lake in Yunnan after Dianchi Lake. In the west of Erhai Lake, Cangshan Mountain is lined like a screen, and in the east is surrounded by Yuan Mountain. The space and environment are beautiful. We have a panoramic view of the beautiful scenery around the lake.

The first stop is Ideal Bang

Idebang is a small town built on a hillside. The buildings inside are all arc-shaped lines, like utopian buildings. Next to the town is Cangshan and Erhai. The buildings blend with nature and are natural. It is really beautiful. This is a scenic spot created by hotels, which is a bit like imitating the Aegean Sea. It is mainly blue and white. The good scenery is all inside the hotel, so we just have a brief look and come out.

Second stop, Xiaoputuo

Xiaoputuo is a small island in the Erhai Lake. It is said that when Guanyin opened the Dali Dam, she left a seal of Zhenhai on the sea here. It is a small island and a "mini island." A two-story pavilion on the top of the mountain houses a statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva. It has been on the island before on a cruise ship, but this time it is overlooking from the shore.

Third stop, seaside

The photo driver and photographer took photos of us at the seaside.

Lunch was also a restaurant that the master driver took us to. We ordered everything we wanted and spent more than 400 yuan. When we came out, the driver said that we ordered all good dishes.

Photo description: Dali's specialty food-rawhide. A newly killed pig in the morning. The raw pig skin was only roasted on the fur side on the fire. The meat below was still raw. This dish was eaten with water. It is said that this dish is only available before 12 o'clock, because the meat goes bad after noon. I only took a sip and couldn't quite enjoy the feeling.

The fourth stop is Xizhou Ancient Town

There are hundreds of Bai residential buildings with unique characteristics in the Ming, Qing, Republic and contemporary periods in the town. Viewed from a distance, it looks like a simple and elegant city, but more like a huge museum of residential buildings. The unique shape and the almost perfect structure give people a sense of solemnity and power yet yet light and lucid, simple and elegant yet free and free texture and beauty. The master driver's home lives in the ancient town of Xizhou, so he drove us through the narrow streets in a familiar way. I suggested taking some photos, so he stopped by an antique house and took some photos of us. Then he took us to the rice fields behind the town to take pictures.

Photo description: Hiding deep into the years, a thousand-year-old town with still lingering charm, with neatly scattered Bai folk houses















Coming out of the rice fields, we went to Huidiquan. I didn't go in because I had been there before. Instead, I chose two specimens of large butterflies for my mother outside. My best friend entered the scenic area for a simple stroll and came out quickly. Then the driver master pulled us an Internet celebrity photo spot and took pictures beautifully...

The fifth station is the most beautiful S-turn

The S-bend has become popular on the Internet unknowingly in recent years. Many people around the Erhai Lake come here to check in. They call it the Internet celebrity S-bend. You can ride here and feel the coolness of the seaside wind. Or just be in a daze here. My best friend took Fatty to rent a bicycle and go cycling. I wasn't very good at cycling, so I chose to be in a daze. Sitting on the beach and blowing the sea breeze, listening to the passionate singing of the Internet celebrity singers ~

Sixth Station Dali Ancient City

Fat 'er was riding a bicycle very happily. It was one of the projects he felt most involved in in the past few days. It was getting dark and we arrived at the last stop of the ancient city of Dali. We had dinner first and had a stone roast made of marble. Then we walked around casually. Now, the ancient city is full of bars, karaoke houses, and coffee shops. It is a resort for nightlife. We both old and young are not very interested in these. We just like to see those selling all kinds of weird gadgets. Most of them were very tired at the end of the day, but I didn't go back until after ten o'clock. This day was particularly fulfilling and exhausting!

Day 8 Dali-Puzhehei (Su)

When we got up in the morning, we set off for the hot springs of Dali Geothermal Kingdom. Our best friends have three major hobbies for travel: eating delicious food, soaking in hot springs, and visiting the local market. Therefore, if the destination has hot springs, we usually go for a soak. On the way, I passed the Three Towers of Chongsheng Temple. I didn't enter the scenic area. I just got off the bus and took two photos from a distance. I listened to the driver's master giving us a brief introduction: the high tower in the middle is from the Tang Dynasty, and the latter two are from the Song Dynasty. It has stood tall for thousands of years. It is a landmark building in Dali.

The hot spring is also very good. It has a very strong sulfur smell as soon as you enter. There are many kinds of soup ponds in it. We soaked it so comfortably that we didn't want to come out and almost missed the train.

Arriving at Puzhehei at around 7 p.m., the small Puzhei Village is quite lively. Roadside vendors sell all kinds of lotus related food: fried lotus flowers, lotus seedlings, fresh lotus seeds...

On the ninth day, Pu Zhehei (Su)

The first time I heard that Pu Zhehei was on the "Where Are We Going, Dad" program, I regretted that I didn't know there was such a good place when I went to Yunnan last time, so I had to make up for it this time. Puzhehei is a typical rock landform. Puzhei (Yi: meaning place with many fish and shrimp) There are 68 lakes, large and small, 15 rivers, more than 300 isolated peaks, and underground rivers 120 kilometers long. The lotus flowers on the water cover an area of nearly 10,000 acres. This is an ideal karst lake group, cave group, isolated peak group, and scenic spots with sound ethnic customs and natural and cultural resources.
We first chose to take a pleasure boat and swim in the lake. We saw lonely peaks dotted with stars, lakes connected one after another, swinging into the depths of the lake, looking around, thousands of acres of lake surface, lotus leaves clustered together, just like the lotus flowers in the sky The fairy led the team to come to the world and danced on the water with the gentle breeze. It was really a bird flying in the sky. People walk through the painting and can't help but sigh that the Puzhei is so beautiful!

After getting off the boat, we visited Swan Lake. Although it is called Swan Lake, there are no swans in the lake now. It is said that they have not been stocked to protect the ecological environment. However, the scenery is very beautiful and you can have close contact with the lotus pond. Thousands of acres of lotus flowers are wild, and it is really: the lotus leaves are endless green. The pink lotus flowers all over the lake decorate the entire lake area extremely beautiful, pure and affectionate, embellished with the harmony of nature.





























At noon, I ate at a restaurant near the river in the town. The best food here in Puzhei is of course the food related to the lotus pond. The lotus roots are particularly sweet and the lake fish are particularly delicious...

I have always liked Hanfu. I bought a set online before and never had the chance to wear it. I think the lotus pond here should be a perfect match with Hanfu, and it would not be embarrassing to wear it in a tourist area, so I changed into Hanfu and set off beautifully ~ In the afternoon, the male owner of the B & B we stayed in drove us to a cave in a carriage. There are more than 80 karst caves in Puzhei, large and small. Although this doesn't even have a name, it is by no means inferior to some other famous caves I have seen.













After the karst cave comes out, there are still lotus ponds and flowers...






































The tenth day of Puzhei-Fuxian Lake (night)

We got up before dawn. The male owner guided us to climb the mountain at the foot of Qinglong Mountain to watch the sunrise. The mountain was not high, but the fat boy climbed too slowly. He went up until dawn. Yunduo couldn't see the sunrise. After reaching the top, we looked down at the panoramic view of Puzhei, and the scenery was not disappointing.

After going down the mountain and strolling around the lake, we took the bus (it rained heavily while on the bus, but fortunately the rain stopped when we got off the bus. What a character!) High-speed rail to Kunming, then rent a car in Kunming and go directly to Fuxian Lake.











For dinner, taste Fuxian Lake's specialties at the landlord's house of Heyuan Restaurant in Mafang Village, a new socialist countryside: copper pot fish and copper pot rice. Fresh fish soup, tender fish, fragrant rice. Strolling around the village after dinner, the streets of the small village are clean and tidy, all of which are scattered. In front of the whole village is a large lotus pond, and in the distance are continuous mountains and green. The environment is invincible ~

Day 11 Fuxian Lake

Fuxian Lake is a scenic spot that was discovered when I was too excited to sleep and read the night before my trip. Because it is quite close to Kunming, it must be arranged. Fuxian Lake is located 5 kilometers south of Chengjiang County and more than 70 kilometers away from Kunming. Because the lake water is crystal clear and crystal clear, it was called "the vast expanse of glaze" by the ancients. It is the largest deep-water freshwater lake in China. The lake water is blue-green, has a high phosphorus content, and has a transparency of 4 to 5 meters, and some can reach 7 to 8 meters. Therefore, the water of Fuxian Lake is clear and transparent. Xu Xiake wrote in his diary of his trip to Yunnan at the end of the Ming Dynasty: "The only place in the Yunnan Mountains is rich in soil, so the flow is brave enough to form a sea, and the flow is turbid. Only Fuxian Lake is the clearest. For us, although we had changed several attractions this day, it was generally a day to accompany the children to dig sand. Wherever we went, my best friend and I sat on the beach in a daze and enjoyed the good time ~ The first stop was Zichong Scenic Area

Second stop, Hongsha Beach

Third stop Sakura Valley

Photo description: Lunch whitebait and eggs

Fourth Station Fuxian Lake Park

I rented a small boat and pedaled myself. When I went to the lake, I saw that the water depth was very visible, but I suddenly felt a little seasick. As a result, I vomited at night, and in the middle of the night, I pulled and vomited all night.

Day 12 Fuxian Lake-Harbin

Today is the last day. Because it is an afternoon flight, I can still play for half a day in the morning, but I am so uncomfortable that I don't want to move, so I asked my best friend to take the children to play. At noon, we drove to Kunming Airport to return the car and then took the plane home. The trip is over.
