In addition to the provinces and cities where I live and work, Yunnan is the place I have visited the most. I have traveled to Kunming, Chuxiong, Dehong, Baoshan, Dali, Lijiang, Diqing, Honghe, Wenshan, Yuxi, Pu 'er, Jinghong and Qujing and other prefecture-level prefectures and cities. Among them, Dali, Lijiang, Shangri-La and Xishuangbanna have been visited at least two or three times. Tengchong should have been there four or five times, so that when she arranged winter travel plans, she had to review her trip to Yunnan when her wife asked why she went to Yunnan again.

To the south of the colorful clouds, birds sing and flowers are fragrant all year round, and the breeze brings comfort all year round. Kunming is like spring all year round, Dali is beautiful and beautiful, Lijiang is gentle and beautiful, Xishuangbanna is surrounded by thousands of vines, Shangri-La is a paradise, Ruili is exotic, Heshun is outstanding, beautiful green mountains and clear waters, simple ethnic minorities, gorgeous national costumes, residential buildings with blue bricks and black tiles, walking between the beautiful mountains and rivers, shuttling through the quiet ancient city alleys, everywhere is filled with the unique atmosphere of Yunnan. Yunnan is a place that cannot be easily touched.

For some unknown reasons, many domestic tourism products limit the age of participating in the tour group to 65 years old. We are already critical, and our only child is not around, and the sense of crisis is increasing day by day. When I traveled to Europe the year before last, I planned to spend three to five years traveling to Europe. A sudden COVID-19 epidemic forced the plan to abort. My wife has just returned from being stranded in the United States. Yunnan's unique climate conditions and tourism resources have naturally become our first choice for travel in the cold winter.

After searching several travel websites for a long time, most of the destinations and attractions provided by existing travel products are popular and Internet celebrities. Basically, they have been there, but no product can cover what I really want to visit. There is a large distance between tourist attractions in Yunnan, and driving by yourself is too hard. In order to make up for the places where his wife didn't go and try to avoid unnecessary duplication between products, after weighing it, it was decided to use Dali as the connection point and order 3 products from Ctrip. com, 2 products to sweep scenic spots. After a 20-day journey, use a mobile vacation product to relieve your mood and relieve your body's stress.

The first leg of the journey is Tengchong Heshun Ancient Town, Mang City, Ruili, Nujiang Grand Canyon, Bingzhongluo, Nujiang First Bay, Taohua Island, Qiunatong Village, Wuli Village, Shimenguan, Laomudeng Village, Weishan Ancient City, Wuliangshan Cherry Blossom Valley, Ginkgo Village, and Dulong River Gorge will follow a group tour on the 12th and 11th nights. The entire journey will be small and individual travelers will compete in groups, starting on November 28 and ending on December 9. Except for Tengchong, Mang City and Ruili, they are basically non-popular attractions. There are not many tourists. When booking, there is only a group period on November 28. If you miss it, you will have to wait another year.

This is a good trip. The whole group has only 6 tourists, 2 Naxi drivers and an 11-seater commercial vehicle. The whole journey is more than 3500 kilometers. It passes through four states and cities: Dali, Baoshan, Dehong and Nujiang. A traveling companion from Shanghai and a couple from Qingdao have a total of 6 tourists. They are like old friends who have met again after a long separation. They first take the Hangzhou-Swiss Expressway, then from the national and provincial roads to the county roads, rural roads and village roads, and follow the Nujiang River. Go up, travel through the canyons of Nushan and Gaoligong Mountains, and stay in the hotel. Living in a private house, drinking wine, and eating authentic chicken meals in villagers 'homes, it was a joy. Mr. Meng, who was over fifty years old, was called "Brother Xiao Meng", and the "Lao Chen Boy" who was over sixty years old was called "Brother Xiao Chen". I became the village chief without a village because of the joke that I would run for the village chief. Ms. Jia, who named everyone, took the initiative to serve as the tour guide and secretary for this trip. She was the youngest and was accompanying Mr. Yuan, who had just retired, on a tour of the south.

The second leg of the itinerary is a group tour of Dali, Lijiang, Shangri-La, Lugu Lake and Erhai Lake on the 9th and 8th. It starts on December 9th and ends on the 17th, Dali enters and Lijiang leaves. The name is 4 Diamond and 12-person mini pure play groups. In fact, during the travel process, they are only divided and combined according to the destination of each order number. In addition to picking up and dropping off, in principle, there is one car and one guide in one place. Therefore, it takes a maximum of two days and at least half a day to change cars and guides. Each time it takes a lot of effort and time to change the car guide. Shangri-La car guides also took this opportunity to visit collectors and promote yak jerky. Although it was somewhat inconvenient and embarrassing, it improved the pertinence and professionalism of the tour guide's explanation and gave it the regional characteristics of the destination.

We have visited Dali, Lijiang, Shangri-La, Lugu Lake and Erhai many times. What remains unchanged is an original intention of respecting nature and religious beliefs. Visiting the ancient city, visiting mountains and lakes, watching performances, tasting milk fans, drinking highland barley wine, eating pilaf, the cold of the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, the warmth of a light luxury inn, the rapid pace before dawn, the daze in the sunset, the "Impression of Lijiang" under the Yulong Snow Mountain, the red-billed gulls circling over the pig trough boats, the red wine PARTY in the yachts, the taste of farmhouses on Jinsuo Island, experience the life of ethnic minorities, understand the power of religious beliefs, travel like learning from the sea, and learn from the past and learn about the new.

The third leg of the itinerary starts in Kunming on December 18 and leaves in Kunming on the 23rd. Kunming, Pu 'er and Xishuangbanna, which are strictly selected in warm winter and have full five-star hotel accommodation, will follow a group tour on the 6th and 5th nights. On the way, Jiuxiang Cave and Pu' er National Park, Chinese Academy of Sciences Botanical Garden, Wild Elephant Valley Elephant Show, Intimate Little Panda, Dafo Temple Water-splashing Praying Praying and Dai Village Tour will be presented. The "Mengbala Naxi" song and dance evening will be presented. We flew to Kunming from Lijiang on the 17th, and we had two days to adjust our bodies and taste delicious food.

Yunnan is rich in tourism resources and developed early. It has the glory of leading the industry and regrets of attracting customers at low prices. When traveling to Yunnan in the past, I could always hear discussions and complaints about forced shopping. After rectification and management, things should improve in the past two years. In order to avoid the trap of low prices, high-quality groups were specially screened when booking products. Unexpectedly, the last of the three itineraries had the highest average daily charge and hotel choice. It is precisely this high-quality group that we have been brainwashed since we got on the bus from Kunming. It is hateful. The tour guide far-fetched to associate spending money with Buddhism. In the name of Buddha, traveling is to burn money, and shopping is to do good. You are not allowed to question or interrupt, nor are you allowed to doze off or watch the scenery. In extreme situations, it is also used to intimidate and curse.

The tour guide's unconcealed motives and vulgar language, even under the banner of poverty alleviation and in the name of Buddha, can neither win sympathy nor move people's hearts. In the designated jade shop in Xishuangbanna that the tour guide expected, despite the use of man-to-person tactics for every family, it took a whole morning, and the total shopping amount for a team of 20 people was only more than 4000 yuan. The people who stalk people are very persistent. We never leave even when we enter the bathroom, boasting shamelessly. This is their job. Because things turn against extremes, the more "professional" they are, the more tourists play hide-and-seek. Xiao Zhou, the VIP travel housekeeper, followed up on my itinerary and clearly informed me when talking about shopping points that he could visit the exhibits. In view of the eloquent solicitation and collusion scenes, we temporarily decided to buy an item that we didn't like but exceeded the tourist price, so as to give the tour guide face and make a better trip.

The Jinsha River, Lancang River and Nujiang River, which originate from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, flow more than 170 kilometers in parallel from north to south in Yunnan, spanning Lijiang City, Diqing Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture and Nujiang Lisu Autonomous Prefecture, forming a unique natural geographical wonder in the world where the three rivers flow in parallel without meeting. The three stages of the journey lasted for a total of 26 days. We walked through Cangshan and Erhai, climbed the Yulong Snow Mountain, and stopped in ancient towns and villages. As the car converted and galloped between national highways, provincial highways, county roads, rural roads and village roads, sometimes we went upstream along the Nujiang River, sometimes we went downstream towards the Jinsha River, and sometimes we circled around the Lancang River. Along the way, the wind roared and the water roared, and flowers bloomed. We breathed the fresh air and smelled the fragrance of flower buds. It seemed to be immersed in the mirror image of the water and moon. Return to the realm of weakness and obscurity.

During the winter trip to Yunnan, we drove more than 8000 kilometers and walked six to seven hundred kilometers. We measured the height of Gaoligong Mountain and the length of Dulong River with our own feet, and printed our feet on Yunnan's cities, ancient towns and villages. Get up at four or five o'clock in the morning every day. No matter whether the stars and moon are shining, or whether it is dense with rain and rain, whether it is cement roads or mud trails, you can run the 10 kilometers calmly under the guidance of moonlight or street lights to welcome the dawn of a new day. Every day's jogging and a day's travel and hiking range from more than 20 kilometers to as many as 30 to 40 kilometers. There is never any concept of being tired. A beautiful journey is like entering an uninhabited fairyland. It makes people forget time and depression. Everything they experience, whether it is pleasant or unbearable, will be condensed into the beauty of memories.
