Once again, I only bought the ticket and only bought the return trip. Two days later, I bought the return trip. Only then did I realize that buying a round trip could save 800 yuan per person. There were no strategies. I drew a sketch and set off with my children.

This picture can be called a schematic diagram. It is easy to paint but cannot be accurate. It is basically walking along the Hangzhou-Rui Expressway in the middle. Yunnan is very big, and you can't get there without going seven or eight trips. Moreover, some attractions are seasonal. For example, cherry blossoms bloom in Wuliang Mountain in January, rapeseed flowers are best in February, Dongchuan red land is the most beautiful in autumn, Tengchong Ginkgo Village is also golden in autumn, Shangri-La and Lugu Lake avoid the rainy season and take photos beautifully... Then we can only make more trips


D1: Arrive at Changshui Airport in Kunming at 11:30 p.m. with bright lights. Stay at Bili Hotel near the airport and have airport pick-up service.

D2: Because our flight back was at 6:50 a.m., I went to the airport alone early the next morning to pick up the car we rented. There are many car rental companies near Kunming Changshui Airport, and it is very convenient to rent a car. There are many stories about this car rental. We have always used SZ to rent cars, but this company is a bit shady. Three days before the Spring Festival, the daily rent has changed from 84 to around 488. If the rent is renewed for three days, the total price is 1755, I will go to Ctrip and see that the same car is 65 a day and 375 for three days. I decisively went back to the airport on my way to Kunming and changed to Ctrip's car. I was lucky enough to handle a violation in other places for the first time. The airport traffic police brigade is so powerful that they work at noon without taking a break. Deduct 3 points and fined 200 points for pressing the line in the Mang City Tunnel.

The next day's trip was from Kunming to Dali. Because it was a 6-hour drive to Tengchong, I chose to transfer in Dali. When encountering a service area on the way, we will get down and walk around and rest. A reading shop service area in West Kunming is the most considerate service area I have encountered so far. It has a children's playground, bookstore, environmental sanitation, and advanced facilities. The blue sky makes it difficult for us to suppress the joy in our hearts. We started to have fun in the service area

Even the bathroom is so beautiful and full of childlike fun. I have always believed that the bathroom can best reflect the level of a unit

Arriving in Dali City in the afternoon, this big butterfly is the symbol of Dali City.

Driving to the ancient city of Dali, it was already late. I came to the ancient city of Dali six years ago. The tower still stands tall in that place, and the magnolia flowers still bloom quietly in that place. As the saying goes, every year has similar flowers and every year. People are different.

To be honest, today's ancient city of Dali is becoming more and more deserted, and the gap with the ancient city of Lijiang is getting wider and wider. It is not as big as the ancient city of Lijiang, nor is it as lively, romantic and romantic as Lijiang

The presidential military and military forces were off work and could not visit it, but at night, they saw aunties in Bai costumes dancing in the square opposite it

This looks like a silk doll from Guizhou

This street is the central scenic spot of the ancient city of Dali. The Cangshan Mountain in the distance, the beautiful snowy roof, and the snowy mountains always give me a very sacred feeling


I was hungry, and I met two enthusiastic Bai guests. I could not miss eating and taking photos



This old man should be named the best employee. He is very enthusiastic and polite. As soon as he saw that you wanted to take a photo, he immediately put on a POSE cooperation.




In Yunnan in winter, it is still cold in the morning and evening. You have to wear a thin down jacket. The charcoal fire in the store makes people feel warm

This is a Bai specialty dish, which is delicious and inexpensive.

Wild mushroom crispy rice

stir-fried kidney flower with walnuts

stir-fried tofu with arugula

stir-fried pork with mountain bamboo shoots

Stone ground corn cake

The lights are on at the beginning and the sunset shines in the sky

I wonder if you will live forever after eating these Bagua stove mutton kebabs


Walking into a snack street, I had just eaten enough, and I could only take photos of various snacks

Xizhou Baba

Bamboo tube pear soup, steamed egg with wild mushroom

Pineapple rice, purple rice

black sugar rice cake

Stinky tofu (non-smelly)

Guo Hotel's Xiao Er Ha is acting cute and attracting customers

After eating and drinking enough, I have had enough shopping. I stayed at Mengxin Valley Inn not far from the left side of the ancient city. I like it very much. It is a sentimental inn






D3: When I woke up in the morning, I saw Rizhao Jinding (Cangshan) on the street

Today's first stop-the Three Towers of Chongsheng Temple. The weather is really good. Every time I encounter good weather when I travel, I can't help but say: Thank God

。The Three Towers Scenic Area naturally takes photos of towers. All kinds of photos can be taken. One tower, two towers, and three towers can produce up to six towers

This is when you turn a little left after entering the door. There is a pool of lake water and you can take the reflection of the tower. There is still a waning moon in the sky, snowy mountains, lakes, and white towers. In addition, there are very few tourists, birds singing, and the breeze... We are very intoxicated

The kingfisher is so beautiful. Later, I saw several more in the ancient town of Heshun in Tengchong. Its belly is orange and shining with golden light, and the feathers on its body seem to be composed of a thousand kinds of blue and green colors that you cannot speak for. You can only truly understand the meaning of the word Cui in Chinese

The kings of the tower were born

The tower in the middle is called Chihiro Tower. It was built in Nanzhao (Tang Dynasty) and was used to hold water. The front is engraved with "Yongzhen Mountains and Rivers". It belongs to the Fengshui Tower. It is built with civil construction and excavated to create the tower. These three towers have no underground palace. During restoration, a large number of cultural relics, called Tiangong, were discovered on the third floor of the top of the tower. The other two were built in the Song Dynasty and began to tilt a little more than 400 years ago. They can be called the Chinese-style Leaning Towers of Pisa.

The Three Pagoda Scenic Area of Chongsheng Temple has towers first and then temples. The temples are laid out on a central axis. Buddha statues and other statues have local characteristics. They are backed by Cangshan Mountain and facing Erhai Lake. They face east-west, with mountains and water, and adapt to local conditions. The Daxiong Hall is modeled after the Hall of Supreme Harmony in the Forbidden City in Beijing.

Buddha statues are enshrined in the temple, but none of them have been photographed. There is an eleven-faced Guanyin statue, which is deeply impressive. There are a total of eleven faces arranged in five levels. It is quite special. It is said that during the Tianbao War, this Buddha statue was cast and retreated from the army and saved the Nanzhao Kingdom.

In history, there were nine Dali emperors who became monks in Chongsheng Temple. In Jin Yong's novel "Eight Parts of the Dragon", it was called Tianlong Temple, which refers to Guanyin. Chongsheng Temple was burned down in the Qing Dynasty, and the statue was later rebuilt based on the "Zhang Shengwen Scroll".

There is a mirror under the tower, where you can take pictures of six towers

There are my favorite winter cherry blossoms in the garden.

After coming out of Chongsheng Temple, I started driving around the sea by myself. I heard that Dali will close the road around the sea and ban motor vehicles to protect the ecology. Osprey fishing in the past can now be invisible to protect the ecology.

The most beautiful road in my mind, from S221 to Huanhai East Road, with cherry blossoms on the left and blue water on the right. I drove with my beloved person and listened to songs, and drove slowly on the Huanhai Road. This is a photo taken last year. This year, the cherry blossoms are not as good as last year.

The scenic spots on the western line of Dali include Haiyue Ecological Park (temporarily closed), Huadian Spring (personally feel that there is no need to go), and Xizhou Ancient Town (I went there last year, but it's not big. The wires in the town are quite messy and the photos are not good. There is a courtyard to buy tickets, so I'll stop by this year). Focus on taking the children to Shuanglang, Yuji Island, and Xiaoputuo on the east line, and we'll finish shopping in Dali.

Shuanglang is actually a fishing village, not an ancient town. The most famous ones are Teacher Yang Liping's Sun Palace and Moon Palace on Shuanglang Yuji Island. It is not far from Nanzhao Style Island and you can ferry to the island. When I came last year, we could rent electric motorcycles at the door and ride around the village. This year, they have been cancelled. We can only walk or take the village battery car. It is 10 yuan per person. One way. The price is small. A total of 10 yuan. It is reasonable to ride unlimited times, and the village is not big, so we just take it on our legs.

As soon as I entered the door, there was a restaurant. Food was the most important thing for the people to fill their stomachs first.

stir-fried bacon with garlic sprouts

This is the double corridor version of fried kidney flower

iron plate beef

Scrambled eggs with tree bark. There are some seeds the size of pepper on the tree bark. They taste crunchy, but it's okay.

To focus on this teapot, I didn't see it at first. Later, I saw a lot of this at a B & B in Luoping. It was called Dali earthen pottery. It had a simple beauty. I always wanted to find a single-eared teapot without a mouth, but I had never encountered it yet.

This roast pork makes you happy

This is the famous water-scented poplar flower. He is the one who takes pictures with his mobile phone in the water in Lugu Lake. However, he has tried stir-frying and hotpot, but the taste is not very delicious.

This is the stage in the village. It is located in the center of the village. It is booming with a lot of peppers in the sun.

Many of these narrow alleys in the village lead to the seaside, but only to the seaside, there is no road around the sea, and you have to turn back, which is very suitable for taking photos.


This is the end of the alley, and in the distance is Nanzhao Style Island

The celery eaten locally is this white celery. It is very crisp and tender and is a side dish for many dishes.

This ancient house is quite elegant, but it's a pity that the door is locked

Since I arrived in Yunnan, I have been eyeing this kind of basket. It feels so convenient and environmentally friendly.

I bought a small one for 90 yuan, and I suddenly felt like Li Ziqi

Kuixing Pavilion opposite the stage

This looks like a Bodhi tree

Bougainvillea blossoms in winter in Fujian and Yunnan

This is Yuji Island. There are road signs on the right hand side of the main road of the village. When you turn in, you will have a strong artistic atmosphere.

Opposite this store, there is a shop that sells ethnic costumes, like Teacher Yang Liping's red dresses and floral hats, all of which are very expensive

The famous Sun Palace cost 35 million yuan

Opposite the Sun Palace is written Qinglu (note that it is Mr. Nan Huaijin's calligraphy). It is a hotel designed by Zhao Qing, the designer of the Sun Palace and the Moon Palace. It is expensive

This Sun Palace can only be viewed from a distance. I saw this program before when I had a date in Luyu. Later, I heard that the rectification of the Erhai Lake was illegal and was facing demolition, but it was not demolished. All kinds of curiosity drove me to find out. To be honest, I don't like this kind of building. The cold bluestone, various irregular geometries, gaudy curtains, and the momentum that repels people thousands of miles away...

After wandering around the mountain for a long time, I photographed two sides from a distance, but I couldn't see everything clearly.

These are the instructions for visiting. Oh, my God, you can't visit after 2 p.m., but you can enter. How can you enter? There is a male attendant at the door. Tea or coffee can enter, but tourists who don't consume cannot enter. Coffee 128 for each person, tea 358 for each person. I scoff at it. Imagine an illegal building is still a big deal. It's a celebrity. It's really funny to do this thing

I came out to the beach to take some wind. When I was tired from walking, I went to a walnut house to listen to music and drink tea.


Nanzhao Style Island in the distance

After having had enough rest, continue driving along Huanhai East Road to Xiaoputuo in Wase Town

There is an island in the sea, and there is a temple on the island. In the temple, there is an aunt sitting on the steps. She can take a boat to the island, or scan the code and use binoculars to explore the island's style.

I originally found an inn in a villa area to check in. I had a four-person suite and set up a pose on the roof to take photos. After I was done with everything, I found that the air conditioner was not heating and the room was full, so I had to check out and move elsewhere. I would like to remind you that I visited two inns in the villa area during this trip, but I didn't stay in them. First, food and shopping were inconvenient. Second, private inns were not as safe as chain hotels. Fire protection and staff management were not in place. The vacancy rate of some villas was too high, and the courtyard was gloomy. When I came out for a walk at night, I would be scared to see an uncle and aunt and I would be sweating.

I watched the sunset on the Erhai Lake, but it fell so fast that it disappeared in the blink of an eye

D4: Starting from Tengchong, Dali, you have to pass through the Longjiang Bridge. It was previously known as the No. 1 Bridge in Asia, with a length of 24 kilometers, but the canyon span is the largest in the world. The Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge is 55 kilometers long, which is longer than the Longjiang Bridge.

There are parking areas on both sides of the bridge, which is very considerate and allows you to get off and watch and take photos.

Passing through Baoshan City, I will get off the highway and have a golden arch. The children are not used to eating ethnic minority food. Occasionally, Kaifeng food and golden arch can mediate their emotions, otherwise it will be difficult to lead the team.

I studied the ancient tea-horse road here. In the previous picture, Tengchong has Gaoligong Mountain, which should be familiar to friends who like to drink tea.

Daldo Supermarket purchased supplies and continued on its way, more than an hour away from Tengchong

Arriving in Tengchong and staying at Yongzi Yiyuan Hotel, I learned that Tengchong produces Go seeds called Yongzi. There are photos and inscriptions of Master Nie Weiping. This hotel is a Go themed cultural hotel. Unfortunately, Yongzi Hotel does not sell them, so they are sold in Baoshan.

I found grandma with the highest rating for dinner. To be honest, this was the worst meal.

The hotel is in a deserted shopping mall

This is called snowflake fish. It is actually a long-lipped fish. It's so fishy.

steam pot chicken

tamales

The brown sugar glutinous rice cake is also very ordinary, not as delicious as the glutinous rice cake in Jinan Mao Lu impression

Simmer rice soup, thick steamed rice water

Crispy red beans with bitter vegetables are okay, fried and a little greasy

D5: After thinking about it again, the focus of Tengchong's attractions is to soak in hot springs in Rehai. Beihai Wetland should be better in summer. Volcano Park is just some pits for non-geological enthusiasts. Hot air balloon mom tells me not to sit. It's dangerous. Ginkgo Village is also out of season. After some calculations, the daily temperature is around 3 p.m., 19 degrees, and it's still 4 degrees in the morning and evening. Afraid of freezing the children, I will go to Heshun Ancient Town first.

I have been to many ancient towns in the motherland. I am very tired of the artificial decoration of some real and fake ancient towns. I prefer the rough women in the mountains and grasslands of Guizhou, and I don't have much expectations for Heshun Ancient Town. I followed Uncle Guo Degang's navigation and set up the parking lot of Heshun Ancient Town. I ended up going astray and walked into a small road, an unconventional route. It happened that a middle school in the town was on holiday and there was a traffic jam. We accidentally entered the scenic spot and finally stopped the car. This is what I see, the Wild Duck Lake. In fact, this is the core scenic spot.

The beautiful scenery swept away the haze of traffic jams, and everyone's mood instantly improved. The children ran away and the adults were busy taking photos.

Sun-dried shredded carrot and shredded white radish

When water flows down from the bamboo tube above a large waterwheel, you can see rainbows among those wooden spokes.

I've seen injecting trees, but this kind of grenade-like needle seems quite convenient

A laundry booth allows several people to wash clothes together. It's quite smart

This seems to be an inn. It is on the edge of the Yeya Lake. It is all inns and B & Bs. Even parking is inconvenient.

The Fireworks and Flowers Corridor is so spectacular and festive

Ai Siqi's former residence, his house is very unique and unique

See the words on the archway--Isolated from the mortal world, isolated from the mortal world

It is this fairy Taoist temple-Yuanlong Pavilion. It was built during the Qianlong period. The building is very exquisite and has a sense of time

Next to it is the Dragon Pool, with faint blue waves and very spiritual

Playing chess in this holy land, drinking tea, watching lotus and feeding fish, it is difficult not to become an immortal. I can't help but think of the word "Jiantian" when I entered the door.

The moss marks are green on the top, and the grass color is green on the curtain

Looking at Yeya Lake from this perspective, you can see the inns and B & Bs by the lake. You might as well come here for a few days.

It's almost noon, and the temperature reaches around 18 degrees. Men by the lake are wearing short sleeves to suit the scenery. There are many little wild ducks on the lake that cannot be found when they dig into the water.

This small place is called Qianhe Wetland. It is not big, but hundreds of birds are singing together. I see many rare white storks, kingfishers, and many birds that I can't name. chirping, I almost forgot that it's winter.

There are several ancestral halls in the ancient town. Li and Liu have seen many ancestral halls in Hongcun and Nanping in southern Anhui. I was really tired after walking here, so I stopped visiting them again

When we arrived here, can you see that we were walking backwards, which is the main entrance of the scenic area. I drove all the way here, but there was really no way left, so I turned back. For the first time, I drove on the stone road of the ancient town.(I didn't mean to, I was just lost, and I was commanded by a traffic man), I always believed that only trucks carrying garbage and building materials could drive into the ancient town at night, so I felt that the management of the scenic area and traffic guidance needed to be improved

To commemorate the absurdity of my mistake

There are also some man-made landscapes such as the Tea-Horse Ancient Road Museum in the ancient town. I haven't visited them yet. I am hungry and tired.

Follow the narrow village road from which you came and return the same way you came

Food is the most important thing for the people. Seeing this air-dried meat and air-dried goose, we can see the chef's professionalism.

Copper ladle for beef, similar to hot pot

There are all kinds of condiments on the table, which is called dipping water locally

This is a halal shop, and you can also add all kinds of beef offal (tripe, beef tongue, beef liver, tendon, etc.)

In particular, these two bowls are sour, lemon juice and bitter, cow bile, and dipped in water made of leeks and other ingredients. They are used to eat rice noodles, which is rice noodles

This is a complete sprinkle. Pick up rice noodles or meat dishes and dip them in water made from cow bile. Locals love it very much. They say that cow bile is cool and kills the fire and helps digestion. In fact, some local characteristics are very unique and you can't get used to it. It's not easy to eat.

This stinky tofu also tastes very mellow, with a strong protein flavor, tender on the outside, and the tofu inside is a bit soft and waxy like cheese or durian meat.

Great rescue. It should be a certain emperor who was hungry and fried the miscellaneous vegetables with flour leaves and eaten them. The taste was very delicious

After a full meal, go to Atai and soak in hot springs. This is the theme of this trip.

Admission to the scenic spot is 50, the hot spring ticket is 280, and the round-trip transportation bus is 20. It is more cost-effective to buy a joint ticket, which includes the hot spring, transportation bus, and tickets. There is also a big pot of Ersi as a bonus, which seems to be a joint ticket of 280

The route is like this. When you enter this gate, there is a battery lane on the right that drives directly to Yugu Hot Spring, which will lead to the exit of Atami. When you enter from the exit gate, you will go up the steps and you will see the big rolling pot. If you choose to follow the regular route from the scenic area and climb mountains all the way, based on the status of tourists I see arriving at Dagouanguo, the mountain road has a certain intensity.

The number one hot spring in the world in my heart can only take a photo from a distance. They went to soak in the hot spring, and I took my aunt to soak my feet in a rolling pot.

The water outlet is 102 degrees, the water surface is 96 degrees, gurgling... There is a smell of sulfur in the air

Hot spring eggs are 10 yuan for four. They are not expensive and tender.

Here tourists can put in the eggs they buy at the entrance and steam them

Foot soaking with traditional Chinese medicine was 50 yuan, and pedicure was 50 yuan. For 40 minutes, I put on a woolen hat, put on a down jacket, basked in the sun, stepped on hot spring water, and blew the mountain breeze, and fell asleep in a daze.


This sister or sister has great craftsmanship. When chatting with her, she suggested that I go to Longling to visit the Anti-Japanese War Memorial Hall. On the way back, I did go to the Longling Anti-Japanese War Memorial Hall. Sometimes local people can learn from places worth visiting.


There are stone gamblers at the exit of the scenic spot. A chemistry professor friend said a famous saying: All good chemistry lies in the private sector.

Although I was a little tired, I drove an hour to Mang City and checked into a newly opened hotel. Everything was good, except for a KTV. It was noisy until midnight. I got two golden rules: 1. You can't stay in a hotel that is too new. The air conditioner tripped. A total of four rooms were changed and I became a circuit tester. 2. You can't stay in a hotel next to KTV. It's too noisy.

Today is the New Year's Eve, and I am so happy that I ordered takeout Northeast dumplings in the evening. Life should have a sense of ceremony

D6: Mang City is the only single-word city in my country. The Dai language is called Menghuan, which means City of Dawn. Dehong Dai and Jingpo Autonomous Prefecture is a prefecture-level administrative region. The state government is located in Mang City. The Dai language Reid means below. Hong refers to Nujiang River, and Dehong is the place in the lower reaches of Nujiang River.

Mang City is my country's important gateway to South Asia and Southeast Asia. It was only in 2018 that it was lifted out of poverty-stricken counties (counties were transformed into cities). There are Shubao Tower, Menghuan Grand Pagoda, China-Myanmar Friendship Tree, etc. We chose to go to Menghuan Grand Pagoda.

As soon as you went up the mountain, you saw many mythological beasts on both sides of the road, including rhinos, peacocks, elephants, chickens, etc.

Paying attention to toilet culture is my hobby.

My impression of the Shwedagon Pagoda used to be that it was a check-in spot where photos were taken to look good. It was really worthwhile to explain it through a tour guide. It reminded friends that in addition to the natural scenery when traveling, you must hire a tour guide to learn about many cultures. You can also learn about some local customs and customs. Getting some tour guide fees is also a contribution to the destination. Why not?

These five leaders represent the five local ethnic minorities, Dai, Jingpo, Lisi, Achang and De 'ang


Some tall and majestic buildings can be photographed in panoramic mode with your mobile phone, as shown below.

Menghuan Da Pagoda is the first golden stupa in China and the first hollow stupa in Asia. On the top of Leiyarang Mountain, it is said that Sakyamuni lived here when he was reincarnated as the Golden Rooster ALuan (the phoenix bird is the phoenix) during his lifetime. It was rebuilt by combining the destroyed Leiyarang Mountain Pagoda and the Menghuan Da Pagoda in Mang City City. It belongs to the architectural style of the Dai Palace in South Asia. The name of this mountain also has a story. It is that after Buddha's Nirvana, Buddhist disciples practiced here, weeds and thorns were all moved aside, so it is called Leiyarang Mountain. A good story about respecting virtuous people

This is tree-transformed jade. Some places have turned into jade. It is hard and moist, and some places are still wood. It has a name, called Smiling Always, and there are still living branches growing in its open mouth. The power and energy of life are amazing.

The fairy held a book in her hand, explaining the importance of knowledge, which can open up wisdom.

This is the golden rooster Aluan. Luan is a bird like the phoenix in ancient mythology. In the Book of Mountains and Seas: "On the mountain of Nuchuang, there are birds. They look like Zhai. They are called Luan Bird. If you see it, the world will be peaceful."

This Bodhi tree is the third generation of the Bodhi tree from which Sakyamuni became Buddha. Visiting this tree is like visiting Buddha. In the tourist season, not a single leaf under the tree can be found.

Bodhi leaves are so beautiful

There are many fruit trees next to the Shwedagon Pagoda. The tour guide said that the locals like to use green mangoes, sour ones, dipped in chili noodles, which taste unique. These fruits must be picked and offered to Buddha first, and then everyone can eat them.


What we believe in here in Mang City is Southern Buddhism, which is closer to the origin of Buddhism. I like it better. There are not so many taboos and forms. When you enter the Buddhist hall and take off your shoes, you can take photos. There is no merit incense or incense burner. If you wish, you don't need to repay your wishes. I quite agree with what the tour guide said that believing in Buddhism is to allow everyone to cultivate their own character and do themselves well. Don't be superstitious. The Buddha is also a person who cultivates and will also die (called Nirvana). People still rely on hard work to get rich. If you just recite Buddha and do nothing, you will not get rich. In the past, we were so poor and were all very happy. Why are we still unhappy now that we lack everything? We have to give up greed.

The first time I photographed a Buddha statue in full light, I remember that I even saw the words "SLR Rogue" written in the temple in Ta 'er Temple, which meant that no photos were allowed. Director Shan Jixiang of the Forbidden City changed the ban on taking photos to ban flash lights. I wanted to take photos because of my love. Taking pictures can also promote Dharma and spread culture. Why not? Isn't it said that everyone lives in their hearts, that the Buddha is themselves, and that their own mind is cultivating Buddhism?

Although this photo is ruined, I also want to vaguely show the exquisite peacock seat

These Buddha statues are so beautiful

This is the first time I've seen this plant. It has a very festive name. Golden Lotus Surges on the Ground


This kind of jade earrings cost more than 4000 yuan. I like it very much, but I am not willing to buy it, and I regret it.

A large silver tower was built on the mountain opposite the Shwedlock Pagoda. From a distance, it looks like a fairy tale castle. It should have been later used to develop tourism and the Guangda Pagoda's tourism project was all built of masonry. There were originally more than 2000 Buddha statues in the Buddhist niche. Later, because it was a national cultural site rather than a Buddhist site, they were all invited away. Personally, I think that there should be a travel photography business here, which is suitable for taking wedding dresses and photos

A sign language square as soon as you enter the door

I have listened to this bell on the tower for a long time. It is crisp and pleasant to the ears.

When I came down the mountain, I smelled the fragrance and found a four-season osmanthus. I picked two and put them in my pocket. I always felt happy eating osmanthus sugar.

Come out of Mang City and go straight to Ruili

Paying attention to street lights is also a big hobby of mine. For example, there are street lights for riding bicycles by Qinghai Lake, Luo Ping is a rapeseed flower-shaped street light, and here is a peacock street light.

After running for several days, without saying a word, I checked into the hotel-Lasong, next to the Jewelry City, and the Mengmao Banquet.

A hot spring ticket will be given for check-in at the hotel. There is a hot spring pool on the terrace on the second floor. Water is now discharged and it is absolutely sanitary.

On the eve of the peak season, there were not many customers, so it became our private soup pond with TV on the wall

Children learned to make cola soup

You can also watch fireworks. The waiter said that there is a fireworks seller on the roadside ahead. The jewelry city will also set off fireworks after it has completed business. You can feel some festive atmosphere.

D7: Ruili is the largest inland port in southwest China and a jewelry distribution center. Its business card is jade. The Dai word Mengmao is Mengmao. It was an ally of the ancient Ailao Kingdom (I seem to have read it in a martial arts book).

The main attractions in Ruili are Yizhaizhongguo, Moli Tropical Rainforest, Jiegao Port, and Jewelry City

Below is a village and two countries. It is actually a village. I don't see the residents. It's like a small park, bordering Myanmar. This is the only cloudy day of this trip, and the photos are not bright.

These are all red brick towers, some of which are painted with colored paint, which looks more crude, but they are also quite beautiful

I planted a lot of dragon fruit


With this Internet celebrity swing, I guess it's impossible to line up when there are many people


The bricks and stones of the path are engraved with the two languages, so you can learn while walking

Beyond the blue barbed wire fence is the country of Myanmar

This bridge is also called a bridge across two countries. After reading many of the most expensive jade border lines, a bridge across two countries, etc., I didn't quite understand whether the barbed wire fence is the border or the river is the border because there is no natural barrier here. The border line is winding, and residents of the two countries come and go frequently. The steps of this bridge are covered with jade and jade, and many jade on the Myanmar side have been dug away. I recorded a video but did not take photos.

There is a glass bridge here, and you need to take an elevator to get up there. Each person can see the villages in Myanmar. His son said that his friend in Myanmar warmly said to him: Hello

This stockade is called Yinjing in China, and Mangxiu in Myanmar.

Myanmar stamps


We wanted to visit the jewelry city and realize a dream of jade, but it was almost New Year and it was a holiday. The shops had rolling doors closed and the stalls were empty. Later, we went to the jewelry pedestrian street in Ruili City, and the same was true. Therefore, those who were still enthusiastically selling jade jewelry during the Spring Festival should mainly face tourists.


Ready to return, we went to the local supermarket, Dongfang Garden Supermarket, to purchase supplies and start the long-distance journey again.

I prefer to visit local supermarkets and vegetable markets and see some different things

This is duck's feet with pickled pepper

Little pineapple is very cute

Live baby fish, my God, I dare not eat it even if it is stewed

On the return journey, I drove to Baoshan from Ruili in one go. To be honest, the accommodation conditions in Tengchong City are relatively poor and meals are inconvenient. Baoshan is much better. It is more prosperous not far from getting off the expressway. On the way, I passed Longling and remembered the suggestion of my sister Rehai pedicure. Decisively get off the expressway and visit the Anti-Japanese Memorial Hall.

It is not far from getting off the highway. The museum is not large, has a lot of information, is very educated, and has a little more understanding of the Anti-Japanese War.

I remember watching the movie "East Becomes and West Becomes", the handsome Wang Leehom joined the army in the beautiful Dongchuan red soil. The heroic death of the country was about this period of history. The children and I all learned a patriotic lesson.



Baoshan is the center of Ailao State (one of the Eight Mysterious Ancient Countries in Yunnan) and one of the important places of human origin in Yunnan. It produces Nanhong Agate. It is very prosperous not far from the expressway. It has a supermarket and is convenient for accommodation and meals, so I chose to transit here. After traveling for many days, I had to choose a hotel with a laundry room. I occupied two of the three washing machines to wash and dry all the dirty clothes. My son sighed in the face of my joy when he saw the laundry room: Hey, the happiness of housewives We don't understand!


I started wanting to eat hometown food. I went to a Maojia restaurant for dinner (because there is one right in front of my house and I often go there), and ordered Shandong cuisine, braised pork, and chopped pepper fish head to comfort my homesick stomach.

After dinner, I went to buy fireworks. Because Jinan has banned fireworks for many years, I was so excited to see a room full of fireworks. I bought a bunch of all kinds and specifically called the hotel to ask if I could put them in the hotel yard. Fireworks. The hotel said that the yard was small and could be put on the doorstep and roadside, and then there was a happy fireworks moment.


D8: The next day, I had a rich breakfast. The hotel sent me desk calendars and water. I happily embarked on the journey and continued to Kunming.






Because of the problem of changing cars at the beginning, in order to save 1400 yuan, I originally planned to go to the Cherry Blossom Valley of Wuliang Mountain. On the way from Dali to Tengchong, cherry blossoms are blooming everywhere on the mountain, and I yearn for the beautiful scenery of cherry blossoms in the tea garden. First, to save money, and second, the journey is a bit long and the journey is too long, so I chose to change cars in Kunming and lived near Dounan Flower Market. Facts proved that this was another wise decision that happened when I came to the wrong spot

It is really convenient to rent a car at Changshui Airport. This is the second time I have used Ctrip to rent a car. I feel that the scale and service here in Kunming are super. There are colorful Jeep Freedom Man. If you go to Dali, renting one will definitely be cool to take photos. There is also a RV, we plan to experience self-driving by RV next trip.

It was past ten o'clock in the evening after changing cars and passing by the Dounan Flower Market. This was the flower market with lights and excitement. Tricycles swizzed through the streets loaded with various flowers, and resolutely decided to visit the flower market.

I was so excited that I completely forgot the fatigue I had been experiencing for many days, and my eyes lit up


Forget-me-not sells it by the catty, 11 a catty. I picked some for the boss. He smiled and said,"Our catty is kilograms. Oh my God, I bought a lot more."

D9: I bought a bunch and took it back to the hotel. The children were very excited to see it, so I took the children to the flower market early the next morning. Only then did I realize that the stalls at Dounan Flower Market at night and during the day were not the same owner selling goods. There are more handfuls of flowers at night, and there will be some potted plants in the morning, so the flowers are more high-end.

I like this purple water lily very much. He has a high demand for water and is afraid that he will not be able to raise it in the next few days, so he didn't dare to buy it

Roses of various colors

A beautiful peony

Strepecchia, I keep calling her crane

Anthurium, the scientific name of flower candle, is more vivid.

Good luck is at hand, the scientific name is Water Tower Flower

The color of wintersweet is very popular, with a little caramel orange feeling

There is also cotton, which we do not lack in the north

So, I bought another pile and decided to vacate a suitcase for flowers to accompany us on the next three days of journey and take them home for the New Year.

I passed by a service area, Yuntui. This is the famous Yuntui, Xuanwei ham. Each piece costs more than 1600 yuan. The strength is not allowed. Later, I ate it at an inn and it is still very delicious.

Go straight to Luoping Rape Flower Scenic Area and you can't see the end at a glance. Although it is not yet in full bloom, it has already opened a lot. February is in full bloom every year. Many shots of the hit drama "Celebrating the Years" are filmed in Luoping.

Everyone got excited and let go


Children should live in nature, run and laugh as much as possible, rather than play games in the concrete forest

Oil painting style, a little Van Gogh and Monet


The sun is shining well. I have had enough fun. I went to the inn to rest. I plan to go to the Luositian and Jinji Peak Grove in the afternoon.

When I arrived at the inn, the landlady found two buckets for me to settle my flowers first

before settling our bellies.

The food in this inn is also delicious

Scrambled beef with mint, highly recommended

Fried cauliflower with cloud legs, so much meat

I love that little jar. The store uses it to make ashtrays. I am too embarrassed to ask the boss for it because I am afraid of infringing other people's trade secrets, but I always miss it.


In the afternoon, the sun was not so warm. I drove to Jinji Peak Grove, which was quite close to the sea of flowers we visited at the beginning. Maybe it was approaching the Chinese New Year, and it was not the peak season. There was no one in the entire scenic area. We were the only one driving. It was so happy to wander on the small road between the mountains

Because the mountains cover the shade here, the flowers bloom later, and the sunset reflected by the mobile phone is not bad


The sunset has come out. I drive to Luositian. I pass through many villages along the way. There are blooming rapeseed fields next to the narrow road. I am intoxicated by the fragrance of flowers. I climb the mountain all the way to the observation deck. I get off and walk over, and have a look-Wow, it's so beautiful, so amazing


If after some time, the rapeseed flowers are in full bloom, it will be another golden scene.

On my return journey, I saw the beekeeper in the flower field. I stopped the car and wanted to buy honey. I really had no life experience. I thought that rapeseed nectar could be bought when the rapeseed flowers were in bloom. The production capacity of bees was not so efficient. At this time, they were selling other flowers. The honey was not easy to carry, so I didn't buy it.

D10: Kowloon Waterfall Group

Before I reached my destination, I heard the sound of water. I got off the bus and stopped to see such a beautiful scenery. Later, I realized that this was the water flowing from the scenic area. It seemed to have a Kanas feeling. This photo spot was a bridge. The right side of the bridge was blocked with an iron plate. After entering the scenic area, I realized that this was the best place to view Yingbin Waterfall. The tour guide said that he was afraid that tourists would gather here to take photos and cause danger, so he blocked it. I thought it was a pity that we could install a camera and ban parking should be enough.

You can see Yingbin Waterfall before entering the gate of the scenic area

This is the bridge blocking the sign

This old man uses 13 fishing rods to fish, which is too environmentally friendly

I bought two small bamboo tubes like this. Unfortunately, when I returned to my home in the north where the heater was turned on, they were cracked and not so green. I made pen containers

Beautiful and lively tour guide Yan Fen

I love to hear it. When the wind blows over, the thick bamboo pole makes a cracking sound. My son says it sounds like the bamboo chair has been broken.

This is the Buyi people, and the local people use dragons, snakes and pillars as their totems.

Panzhihua tree blooms first and then grows leaves. Later, I saw that Panzhihua stamens can be fried with bacon


When I saw the waterfall, my son, who usually didn't like to take photos, took the initiative to take photos. See how happy he was.




This place is the scene where Wu Zhu and Xin Zhilei played Haitang Duoduo fighting during the Year of Celebration

When encountering people selling colorful rice, it is dyed with rice. The common practice is to dye it with five-color flowers and plants, but the ones sold in attractions may be dyed with pigments.

The route planning for this scenic spot is not good enough. I heard that a new management company has taken over. Looking forward to a more reasonable route in the future, we took the cable car to the observation deck.

There is a hydropower station in the upper reaches of Jiulong Waterfall. There is a hydropower station first, and then this scenic spot. Therefore, the water volume is controlled by the hydropower station. The flow of the waterfall at this time is smaller than when we came.

The beautiful tour guide Yan Fen recommended us to go to Tanaka Garden for lunch. We accidentally discovered a paradise

You can also stay here, 80 a night, but transportation is inconvenient and there is no bus

Farmers are working in the field, and the old lady pulls up a pile of radishes and carries them home...

In the backyard, a treasure house used by the boss to make bacon was discovered. Orange peels were added and smoked with fruit wood

Scrambled eggs with wild vegetables

Pork platter

stir-fried vegetables

Dry fried river fish


This is called Buyi New Village

On the way back, there are beautiful scenery everywhere

This seems to be above the Kowloon Waterfall Observation Deck. Unfortunately, there are also iron plates blocking it. It should be for safety.

Walking to this flower field, I couldn't help but stop and get off the car to take photos


This inn is opposite Huatian. It's not bad to live here

Originally, they planned to visit the Shilin Scenic Area, but the children were nostalgic for this idyllic scenery and paradise. They refused to leave, so they stayed for an extra day and changed rooms

See morning glow in the morning


The noodles I eat. To be honest, breakfast in Yunnan usually consists of rice noodles and rice noodles. I'm just kidding. The rice noodles here don't have plastic bags. They are not delicious. They are soft and stick to the teeth. I didn't eat the difference between rice noodles and rice noodles. I still prefer noodles.

D11: I returned to Kunming and arrived at noon to deal with violations. Soon, I planned to go to Dianchi Lake to feed seagulls. To be honest, it was a bit exhausted, so I took the children to the City of Flowers nearby

The City of Flowers has hotels, shopping malls, and dome movies. For tourists, it is mainly a place to sell cosmetics. Fragrant skin care products used by a French queen are not too expensive, so I bought some for my family.


This is the first time I saw aloe bloom

Large-sized crab claw orchid

Production process demonstration


D12: I was called up to catch the plane at 4:30 in the morning. At this time, I heard that the city was being closed down and airport security was relatively strict. I didn't expect the epidemic to be so serious later, so I got on the Shandong Airlines plane and went home

Changshui Airport looks like this from the sky, like a long-tailed devil fish

When I arrived home at noon on New Year's Eve, my mother and brother prepared a sumptuous league meal.

At this time, I heard the news that Wuhan was closed, and the COVID-19 epidemic began to sweep across the country and the world. Later, I saw the news that those flowers in Dounan had thrown garbage away. It was a pity that I cherished the trip even more and felt that we should cherish everything around us more, respect nature, and coexist harmoniously.


Travel is the best geography, history, religion, art, communication, financial management... This is the longest self-driving tour, traveling 2400 kilometers and lasting 12 days. It is also the longest travel note. Every time I go out, in addition to enjoying the beautiful rivers and mountains of the motherland, what I deeply feel is the strength of the motherland and the people's peace and contentment. I am grateful for the prosperous China and everything I have encountered.
