Let's go to Yunnan!

I went to Dali for the first time in May this year, and then I made a trip about Yunnan almost every month. Kunming, Yuxi, Dali, Lijiang, Shangri-La, every city has footprints, and every place has a few pictures that you like very much. Simply sort out the seven trips to Yunnan, and give you a seven-day free travel guide to northwest Yunnan and stay up late for you.

I wonder if you are also planning such a trip to see the scenery of Dali, meet the tenderness of the ancient city of Lijiang, and go to Shangri-La to find the pure land on earth in your heart.

[About Transportation]

Kunming: Kunming is the capital of Yunnan Province and has very convenient transportation. This year, Kunming's Changshui Airport has become one of the airports with the largest passenger traffic in China, and most domestic cities can fly here directly. We chose to fly directly from Quanzhou to Kunming, and then took the airport bus to Kunming Station for a fee of 35 yuan. This journey takes about 35 minutes and is not far.

Dali: Dali also has an airport, but there are relatively few routes. You can transfer flights in Kunming, one in the morning and one in the morning. However, we chose to take the high-speed train from Kunming to Dali, which took 2 hours and the fare was 145 yuan.

Lijiang: Lijiang International Airport is basically the second largest airport in Yunnan Province, with many routes and busy. There is no high-speed rail from Dali to Lijiang, only trains, but there is a high-speed rail from Kunming to Lijiang directly. However, when we started from Dali, we didn't choose the train. Instead, we rented a car and drove through Shaxi Ancient Town to Lijiang. There are also many carpooling from Dali to Lijiang, which takes 3 hours and costs about 100 yuan per person.

Shangri-La: Shangri-La is the capital of Diqing Prefecture. It has an airport, but high-speed and railway transportation have not yet been opened. It should be a troublesome destination for traveling in northwest Yunnan. Starting from the ancient city of Lijiang, I can drive the million Shangri-La by myself on a highway and then turn into the national highway. The whole journey takes about 4 hours.

"First time" Dali, I still love the clouds here despite the scenery and snow

Flying directly from Quanzhou to Yunnan, the three-hour air journey arrived in Kunming, the spring city, and then headed west to Dali. There are many ways to go from Kunming to Dali. The fastest one is by plane, which takes more than an hour, followed by the 2-hour bullet train I chose. It is said that the beauty of Dali is the wind in Xiaguan, the flowers in Shangguan, the snow on the top of Cangshan Mountain, and the moon reflected in the Erhai Lake. But for me, the white clouds floating under the blue sky are also the most beautiful scenery in Dali.

Take bus No. 8 from Dali Station and you can reach the ancient city of Dali for 3 yuan. Backed by Cangshan Mountain and facing the Erhai Lake, the square ancient city carries Dali's thousand-year history and culture. In Dali, finding accommodation is not difficult. If you want to stay away from the hustle and bustle of the ancient city without wanting to be too far away, I would recommend this Instant View-Nanguo Boutique Inn located in the tourist and cultural town of Miwan.

500 meters away from the ancient city, Miwan Town is a quiet place, and Nanguo Inn is located in one of the Bai-style buildings. There were not many rooms in the inn, more than ten rooms. A light luxury honeymoon queen bed room with a 35-square-meter space combines Japanese and Nordic fresh and simple styles. It is very relaxed and very warm. The rooms use standard bedding and customized toiletries in star-rated hotels. Although it is a B & B, the services and facilities are still very standardized and standard. On the night of check-in, you will also receive a glass of hot milk from the B & B, and breakfast is also served in the lobby on the first floor of the B & B.

The lobby space on the first floor of Nanguo Boutique Inn is very large. There is a tea table developed for guests for free, where you can make tea and sip tea with friends who are traveling with you. In comparison, what is recommended is the location, cost performance and service of the inn.

It takes about 15 minutes to walk from the south to the ancient city. Looking out at Cangshan before afternoon, a cloud belt covers the top of the mountain, like snow covering the tip of the mountain. The sun shines on the earth through the gaps between the clouds. The light of Jesus, which is regarded as a spectacle in the mainland, seems to be an extremely ordinary thing in Dali. Such a scene is particularly magnificent when viewed from Haidong to Haixi or from the perspective of a drone.

Walking on the streets of the ancient city, Renmin Road seems to stretch eastward from the foot of Cangshan Mountain to the bank of Erhai Lake. The bustling tourists and merchants on the roadside are bustling. If you want to find a quieter place, you might as well walk into the alleys along the road. Maybe you can find a few good shops here.

For example, the books in the persimmon tree cafe and the cats living in Miaoyu. Dali is still very easy to find and see the atmosphere of literature and art, just in those ordinary alleys.

Walking in the ancient city, we were tired from all walks of life, and chose Duan Gongzi Restaurant, a family of Yunnan cuisine restaurants with very high scores online for our first meal. The restaurant is located at the intersection of the upper section of Renmin Road and Boai Road in the ancient city of Dali (150 meters west of Fuxing Road, Yangren Street, near the south gate Cangshan Gate). It is a restaurant with antique decoration. What is more distinctive is that there is also a dragon chair placed in the lobby on the first floor. This should be something many children like very much. After all, it is still very good to take photos. There are long tables for 4 people and round tables for many people in the restaurant. The staff in the store are all dressed in ancient costumes, and the environment is like returning to the Dali Dynasty.

Yunnan's main restaurant, Fenghua Xueyue Fish is still very worth recommending. It is also the trump card dish of Duan Gongzi's family, so you must try it. The fish is tender and delicious, and the mild hot and sour taste suits the public's preferences. Not only did a lot of attention be paid to the visual effects of the dishes, but the earthy smell of freshwater fish meat was also removed after processing.

Dali Bai's specialty pepper chicken is made from Dali's local black-bone chicken. Small pieces of chicken are very convenient to eat. There are quite a lot of fresh pepper added to the dish, and the numbing taste is very suitable and very suitable for the rice. Of course, when you come to Yunnan, you can't help but eat fungi. Cangshan wild fungi are very worth recommending. Don't worry, wild fungi that will not let you see little stars. Only authentic Yunnan restaurants can cook this kind of delicious and well-selling wild fungi.

The business hours of Duan Gongzi Restaurant are 11.30 - 22.30 per day, and the per capita price is around 95 yuan, which is still very reliable. After eating, you suggest going for a walk on Renmin Road if it feels noisy. Ye Yulu also recommends it. There are many people setting up street stalls here every night. There are always many interesting people doing interesting things on the short streets.

"Second" Traveling to Erhai by tram should be a must-check in when traveling in Dali

Sleep until you wake up naturally at Nanguo Inn. Even at 10 o'clock, you won't feel like a waste of time. The time in Dali is about 1.5 hours later than Beijing time, so it's still relatively late when it gets dark. After eating a bowl of authentic Bai rice noodles made by a B & B aunt, going to aerial photography of the ancient city has become a way to understand the ancient city of Dali today.

The ancient city of Dali has unlimited flights, is far from the airport, and there are no restricted areas around it. However, you should be careful not to fly low when flying, and there is also the wind from the mountains. Flying high into the sky, you can have a panoramic view of the ancient city. Cangshan Gate, Southeast Gate, and Erhai Gate (East Gate) are particularly eye-catching. Especially the East Gate. It is said that it used to stand on the edge of the Erhai Lake. Due to changes in terrain and water resources, the area of the Erhai Lake has shrunk, resulting in the current landform environment.

In addition to the towering city gates, neatly arranged and intersecting roads connect every corner of the ancient city. The People's Road running from east to west always makes me lose the direction of the ancient city. I always think that Cangshan Mountain is in the north and Erhai Lake is in the east, but the reality is that they echo the east and west.

Today's lunch at noon was Jinhua Little Amei on Renmin Road, a traditional Dali family. The restaurant is located at the intersection of Renmin Road and Boai Road and will open at 11 o'clock tomorrow. The retro Chinese decoration and a photo wall show Dali's old memories and are worth a visit. The waiters in the store are also wearing local costumes, which are very distinctive. If you go to their homes for dinner, remember to follow a Dali travel guide, which is quite practical.

Although they are Yunnan cuisine restaurants, in fact, their homes still combine a lot of Sichuan and Cantonese cuisine practices, which are relatively easy to accept by the public. Such restaurants do have easier business in tourist destinations and are very easy to gain reputation. Although the signature dish Amei steamed tofu looks a little stinky tofu on the outside, it is actually tender tofu that has been fried and then thickened with a special sauce. It tastes very good when served with rice. The tofu is also very large, and the whole dish is very large.

Red rice noodles with shredded chicken and shredded chicken cold are a very appetizing dish. The slightly spicy taste also has a hint of sweetness, which is very in line with the tastes of southerners. It should be a cold dish. The rice noodles are very soft and there is also chicken in it. After serving, the waiter drips the sauce on it. Native chicken health soup is very good for tonic in autumn and winter. What I like better about this dish is that it is paired with at least 7 different fungi.

On a certain review platform, this restaurant ranks first on the Dali specialty dish evaluation list. Overall, it is very worthy of recommendation in terms of taste and cost performance. After dinner, although the intensity of ultraviolet rays is daunting (remember to protect yourself from sun protection, this matter is very important in Dali!!!), We still chose to rent a small electric donkey to ride along the Erhai Lake. Renting an electric car is very convenient in the ancient city of Dali. A small tram costs about 60 yuan. If you are afraid of being hacked, you can ask about the B & B you stay in. Basically, they all have cooperation and are relatively reliable. Of course, in addition to electric vehicles, you can also rent a beautiful sports car with a full plastic feel, but I don't recommend it because many places on the beach can only be used with electric vehicles.

Starting from the ancient city, the recommended route is to ride in the direction of Caicun. All the way is to fields and farm Bai nuns. Follow Yuehua Road all the way east to Caicun Wharf, where we choose to ride north. The newly built plank road has indeed changed the style of Erhai Lake and greatly improved the travel environment. There will be many water-facing corners along the way, which is very suitable for taking photos.

On the seaside, buildings have all been relegated to the second line, and the seaside is basically wetlands. We traveled basically the distance between Caicun and Majuyi. We stopped and stopped, and we could only find some suitable spots for taking photos and checking in by riding an electric bike. The riding time of more than three and a half hours is actually not long, and it is not the time standard chosen by most tourists. But I think this time arrangement is enough. I can produce many good films at constant distance. If I continue to ride, I will probably feel aesthetically tired.

Relying on his own small electric donkey, he crossed the Dali Line from Majiuyi and rode in the wind direction of Chongsheng Temple with his reputation for the landmark building of the Three Towers. However, in the end, I was still discouraged by the more than 100 tickets. Coupled with the fact that the time was relatively late, I chose to fly a drone next to Chongsheng Temple. This was a check-in for the "Dali Royal Temple" that was rebuilt in 2005.

Before sunset, go back to the ancient city to return the borrowed electric car, and then go to a Yunnan restaurant in the old courtyard on Renmin Road recommended by a friend. Jinshan-Centenary Ancient Garden Restaurant carefully takes care of its century-old courtyard and carefully develops local Yunnan dishes suitable for tourists 'preferences. Jishan's boss is the first local restaurant owner I met in Dali. Her love for drinking may be my first impression of her.

A century-old courtyard on Renmin Road belongs to the owner's own courtyard. The restaurant is also divided into indoor and outdoor sections. If it doesn't rain, I still highly recommend sitting outside and eating. Dali's climate is very comfortable, and there are no mosquitoes even in summer. It can be seen that the boss has put a lot of thought into taking care of the yard. It has made a lot of green plants and meat, and it has grown very well. If it was daytime, the yard would be very suitable for taking photos.

The restaurant is open from 10.00 to 23.00 every day. In addition to many of its newly developed Yunnan specialties, their home-brewed wines are also recommended. Fung-scented aquatic poplar flowers. I have eaten aquatic poplar flowers many times in Dali. The taste of this house should be the most special one I have ever tasted. The main reason is that the fungus is fried with wine, which gives this excellent and original dish a soul.

Signature passion fruit sour and spicy fish, a new method of sour and spicy fish, the sour taste of passion fruit is a natural sour taste, and it has a light fruit aroma, which is very appetizing. Corn cake is a staple food, or a dessert. It's made of cornmeal and has a bit of bread feeling. The recipe for this dish was developed by the owner himself.

Overall, this restaurant, opened in a century-old courtyard, is very down-to-earth, with good taste and value for money, and is worth recommending.

"Three" From Haixi to Haidong, Xizhou and Shuanglang have different experiences

Renting a car makes it very convenient to travel in Dali. Today's destinations are Xizhou Ancient Town on Haixi and Shuanglang, an Internet celebrity destination on the other side. The two towns beside the Erhai Lake have completely different experiences.

Starting from the ancient city, the distance to Xizhou is not too far. If you drive, you can get there in half an hour along the Dali Line. If you don't know how to drive, there is also a bus to Xizhou next to the ancient city. It costs 7 yuan per person. Note that the price is 7 yuan!! Xizhou Ancient Town is a famous historical and cultural town in Yunnan Province and a "decent ancient town" in Mr. Lao She calls it.

Walking into Xizhou from Zhengyi Gate, the west gate of Xizhou, you can shuttle through the town. Almost every traditional Bai ancient dwelling has its own history and story. In ancient times, Xizhou was an important town on the ancient tea-horse road. Many wealthy businessmen and celebrities appeared here.

Step on the green stone road in Xizhou and leisurely walk through the streets. The Yan Family Courtyard on Sifang Street, as well as the Dong Family Courtyard and the Yang Family Courtyard are all very worth visiting. However, tourists 'favorites are the Internet celebrity Corner Building and the Xilin Garden in the fields. These are the most exposed check-in shops in Xizhou on the Internet.

Of course, if you ask when Xizhou is the most beautiful, I believe many people's answer is that it will be in the autumn when the rice is harvested. At the end of September this year, I happened to catch up with the golden fields of Xizhou.

If you are in Xizhou, it is highly recommended that you stay for the whole day. Live in a small courtyard like Huanxi and eat some Bai snacks represented by Xizhou Baba. The Xizhou Living Room and the Xizhou Agricultural Museum are also very suitable places to check in and stare blankly.

Compared with Xizhou, my first impression of Shuanglang was not as I expected. To quote a friend, she felt that Shuanglang was like an antique commercial district in the city, noisy and gorgeous. But as Dali's most popular tourist destination, Shuanglang also has its attractive highlights.

The self-driving journey from Xizhou to Shuanglang takes about 40 minutes, and the journey from Gucheng is even further, more than an hour. If you drive to Shuanglang by car, navigation often makes you take the highway. In fact, it is unnecessary. The highway is actually a little detour and the time is about the same. There is also a shuttle bus to Shuanglang in Gucheng, but it takes some time to wait.

It is said that the scenery of Dali is in Cang 'er, and the scenery of Cang' er is in Shuanglang. Shuanglang has always been favored by tourists. Shuanglang Ancient Town should be the best place to view the Erhai Lake in several destinations in Dali. Here, you can experience the beauty of the Erhai Lake up close, and you can also see the verdant Cangshan Mountain opposite from the distance. When the weather is good, the scenery is beyond words.

In addition to the beautiful natural scenery, Shuanglang's artificial Internet celebrity check-in point is the first killer that makes it popular on the Internet! There are B & Bs by the sea and mirror of the sky. Almost every tourist who comes to Dali has the idea of checking in at these places. Therefore, even in the days when the ancient city of Dali was sparsely populated, Shuanglang still had a very considerable number of tourists. In Shuanglang, we can watch the sun set from the top of Cangshan Mountain. The place we are going to live tonight is the sight where we can see the sun rising-Canghai Suji.

The B & B is located in Dali Canghai Golf International Community, located at the foot of Cangshan Mountain and next to the Three Towers Chongsheng Temple. In Dali, the golf community should be regarded as one of the tallest buildings. When staying in Canghai Suji, you can overlook the Erhai Lake from the room facing the sea. On a clear morning, you can enjoy the moment when the first ray of sunshine shines on the Erhai Lake while lying in bed. Due to the certain distance from the ancient city, you can also see the stars in the sky at night here.

B & B is two connected villas. The villas are equipped with multiple personalized facilities such as large and small restaurants, multi-functional conference rooms, Western-style wine bars, Chinese tea bars, leisurely book bars, outdoor barbecue areas, laundry rooms, etc. Butler service also allows you to enjoy a high cost performance ratio.

The king room we stayed in with a sea view had more than 30 square meters of space. Moreover, you can see the three pagodas of Chongsheng Temple and the Erhai Lake not far away. The interior decoration of the room is warm and comfortable, with complete facilities. The bathroom uses a full set of TOTO sanitary ware, and the toiletries are also made of SevenPlus kit imported from the UK.

"Si" Shaxi Ancient Town, what Dali looks like in my mind (I am in Lijiang today)

Sleeping in Cangshan's arms, the first ray of morning sunshine can sneak into the house through the gap between the curtains. In the afternoon, there is a little mist floating around Cangshan's waist, and the paradise city people are looking for may be similar. Today, starting from Dali to Lijiang, the first destination is Shaxi, the ancient town, which is more than 2 hours away from the ancient city.

A friend said that Shaxi is what Dali looks like in his heart. The same is true for me. Walking in the ancient town of Shaxi, walking on the uneven green stone road, Bai elderly people wearing local ethnic costumes shuttle back and forth through the street. The old man sat under the corridor and his eyes were full of vicissitudes. This moment was like entering another world. Only after I regained my senses did I realize that life could go so slowly. Stop and go, in the alley. The dogs in the town are leaning against the door, and the sun shines on the ground through the leaves. Tourists walk in this ancient town that has been left behind. Dali is like this.

The first time I learned about Shaxi Ancient Town was on a post on a travel website. I longed for it for a long time and finally I was there. I have never liked an ancient town as much as I like Shaxi. After all, many of the ancient towns I have been to seem to have come from a Mo Zi, and the ancient buildings exude a commercial atmosphere. However, Shaxi Ancient Town is very different. It not only retains the memories of the original ecology of the ancient tea-horse road, but also exudes a strong atmosphere of life. So when you go to Dali, you have to go to Shaxi Ancient Town.

If you ask Shaxi Ancient Town where to go, I think it should be Sideng Street. Sideng Street is the core of Shaxi Ancient Town, and the Kuige and Theater on the street is one of the tallest buildings in the ancient town. It is said that the Kuige and Theater on Dali Foreign Street are replicas of it.

In the village about 10 minutes away from the core area of Shaxi Ancient Town, there is one of the most beautiful bookstores in Yunnan, Pioneer Bookstore Shaxi Bai Bookstore. The bookstore is far away from the core tourist area, in an inconspicuous village surrounded by fields. Perhaps its significance may have been for profit.

The book selections in the bookstore are all very unique to local culture. At the same time, cultural and creative products created by combining them with local culture are the biggest attractions in bookstores. Cultural and creative products such as Jiama, Wameo, and tie-dye are excellent in workmanship and production. Of course, you must check in to the Poetry Tower in the bookstore.

It is already afternoon after visiting Shaxi. It has been a long time to drive from Shaxi to Lijiang, and you can arrive before sunset in about an hour. When I first arrived in Lijiang, I found an authentic restaurant in the ancient city as a reward for today. The ancient city of Lijiang should be one of the most popular travel destinations this year. The restaurant we chose is a Yunnan ethnic cuisine located in the ancient city of Lijiang, the Prince of Western Yunnan.

The decoration of the restaurant is just as ancient as the ancient city of Lijiang. The decoration in the store displays Yunnan's multi-ethnic cultural characteristics in many details. I like the stairs in the restaurant very much and are very suitable for taking photos. The Prince of Western Yunnan opens from 11 o'clock to 10 o'clock in the evening. The Zheliu car cannot be driven in, so he can only choose to walk. Entering from the Northeast Gate of the ancient city, you can see this restaurant on the roadside within a few minutes 'walk.

As a person who loves fish, my first promotion is the national bamboo tube snow mountain fish. It is a very creative dish. The bamboo tube serves as a container. After serving, pour sauce on the fish meat from another bamboo tube. In addition to the creative score, the fish is also very tender. The special sauce also covers the earthy smell of most freshwater fish, and there are not many fish bones.

In Lijiang, the Naxi people are one of the main ethnic minorities, so Lijiang Naxi ribs must also be tried. This is a very recommended local Lijiang dish. Half ribs and half salad are very good with vegetarian ingredients. The preserved ribs are a specialty of Lijiang. The cooking of this dish is a bit like a dry pot, which is very good.

The last thing to recommend is Yunnan Zhengqi Steamed Chicken. It is really suitable to eat in autumn and winter. With chicken as the main ingredient, steamed in a steam pot and added with various ingredients, a pot of soup that nourishes the kidney and nourishes the body is very suitable for tonic.

After dinner, walk around the ancient city of Lijiang. The streets and alleys are not too wide, and the stone roads paved along the street have long been stepped on by tourists to shine brightly. Night should be the busiest time in the ancient city of Lijiang, especially in the bars on the street. I don't like the noisy ancient city very much, so I choose to stay in Shuhe Ancient Town, which is a little away from the ancient city. A manor with Naxi architectural characteristics, Araokangba Qingyun Manor. The reason for choosing this B & B actually has a lot to do with the owner of the B & B. The specific story will be on tomorrow's itinerary.

"Wu" revisits the ancient tea-horse road, an amazing outdoor travel experience

Arokamba means "come, friend" in Tibetan. Perhaps the greatest charm of this B & B is the owner himself. Zabagdan was a monk and can speak fluent English, Chinese, Tibetan and Indian. He loves dance, yoga, and is a guardian and practitioner of local culture.

Arokamba Qingyun Manor is a B & B featuring Naxi and Tibetan-style architecture. The decoration in the B & B also reflects the very strong national style, and of course it also reflects the modern comfort and enjoyment.

Stay in a 55-square-meter luxury viewing room. Although it is a B & B, you can enjoy a five-star stay experience. The bedding, bathroom facilities and other related facilities and equipment in the rooms are all standards for five-star hotels, which can be said to be even worse. The butler-style service gives people the feeling of being a guest at home with friends.

Arrokamba has its own Western restaurant that serves breakfast for guests. Of course, I also recommend that you can experience the copper stove hot pot in the restaurant at a certain dinner moment. A pot of beef, surrounded by three or five friends, and paired with the Tibetan beer served in the store, is perfect.

In addition to the restaurant, Arrokamba is also equipped with a small conference room, a book bar, a balcony, a back garden and a Thangka studio. Of course, riding across the Qixian Lake with Mr. Zaba and revisiting the ancient tea-horse road is the coolest experience I think staying in Arrokamba.

Starting from Arrokamba, the ride takes about 5 hours to reach peanuts. There will be professional horses traveling with them, and they will also bring all kinds of professional equipment, including food and water for lunch. Starting on horseback, it does not take long to leave the villages and towns and enter the mountains. Climbing uphill, downhill, through the woods, you can reach an open grassland after more than an hour of riding. We rest here, watch the white clouds in the sky together, and dance with the Naxi people traveling with us.

Then we continued to set off. Gradually, the road became narrower and the surrounding vegetation became denser. In some places, we even needed to stick to the horse's body and bend down to move forward. Remember to cross Qixian Lake, you must wear long clothes and trousers and do a certain amount of sun protection. After walking through the rugged mountain road, you will finally reach a lake in the mountains. It is like a paradise.

The slow hillside is covered with grass, and there are several abandoned wooden houses along the road. It is said that this is the place where people on the Tea Horse Ancient Road used to rest. It was already afternoon when I arrived here. I took out the lunch I had prepared earlier and enjoyed today's lunch on a blanket with ethnic characteristics. There are still many types of fruits and staple foods to prepare.

After lunch, we could choose to continue riding into the mountains, but we gave up the intention of continuing and chose to meditate with Mr. Zaba on the lake. By the lake, on the grass, under the blue sky and white clouds, this was the first time I experienced such a life. The whole person was very relaxed physically and mentally.

It still took some time to return to Arrokamba from our current location. After returning to the room, we washed up and rested. It was still very bright. We chose to go to the Ancient City of Lijiang to settle today's dinner. A Dianyuan Private Kitchen located near Sifang Street in the ancient city is located between Dashiqiao and Xiaoshiqiao on Wuyi Street in the ancient city of Lijiang.

The facade of Dianyuan Private Kitchen is not very big, it just feels like a storefront, but the door is still very grand. It didn't look big, but when I walked in, I realized that there was actually a different heaven inside. The restaurant has an independent kitchen, which is not only a small one, but also carefully grows a lot of meaty food. It is an old courtyard that is very suitable for taking photos and checking in. The restaurant is divided into two floors, and the location is still very large. The restaurant opens from 11 o'clock every day until 11 o'clock in the evening. You can't drive in by car, so you can only choose to walk.

The most recommended dish is Dianyuan Baozhi tofu. The Baozhi tofu costing more than 40 yuan is my most recommended dish. The oiled tofu skin is very rich in taste. After biting it, it will be tender tofu, plus the secret sauce. It tastes great. This dish is very suitable for serving with rice, especially the sauce sprinkled on tofu.

Dianyuan secretly makes fragrant snow mountain fish. I have eaten a lot of fish in Yunnan. This family also recommends it. The fish is tender and tender and has no smell of earthy smell, mainly because the portion is also sufficient.

Tea Tree Mushroom and Beef Mob Fried Rice, a very special fried rice, was the first time I had eaten such a combination. The taste will not be too strong and it will be just right for serving. The degree of frying the rice is also just right, and the grains of the rice are clearly defined.

After dinner, the sun in the ancient city set down on the Western Hills, and the number of people on the streets slowly increased. This was my first time in Lijiang but I couldn't feel the ancient city well. It was also an excuse to come back next time.

The last journey of "land", Shangri-La

It takes about 3 and a half hours to drive from Lijiang to Shangri-La, which is not too short. At present, there is only a small section of highway along the way, and most of the journey still requires taking national highways. But with friends and the scenery flashing outside the car window, time passed quickly. You can pass by the Tiger Leaping Gorge Scenic Area on the way, and those who are interested can also choose to stop here. Because our purpose was to go to Aruo Kangba in the ancient city of Dukezong, we did not stop at the Tiger Leaping Gorge.

Some people say that Shangri-La is the most beautiful in summer, when the grassland will be filled with flowers of all colors. Unfortunately, our time was short and we could only stay in the ancient city of Dukezong for a short night. Perhaps due to the epidemic, there are not many tourists in Shangri-La, and there are only twos and threes of tourists walking in the ancient city.

Guishan Park in the ancient mountaineering city can overlook the ancient city of Dukezong from the steps of the Dafo Temple, and you can also overlook the urban area of Shangri-La not far away. If you want to sit and admire Ogui Temple, the best location is probably the terrace of Arrokamba where we stayed.

Sitting on the terrace of Arokamba, not far away is the main hall of Dagui Temple. The golden light looks particularly eye-catching under the blue sky. Shangri-La Arokamba Nansorda Estate, Mr. Zaba's chain brand. The architectural style is still Tibetan, with Naxi buildings mainly, and the interior decoration will not be much different from Lijiang's style. The in-store restaurants, bars and other facilities are also very complete.

The 36-flat deluxe queen room with a view can see the Dagui Temple. The room is also equipped with a humidifier to make the dry Shangri-La more comfortable when sleeping. After checking in, the housekeeper will also deliver snacks and milk, which is a very considerate service.

There are actually many attractions to visit in Shangri-La, but we didn't go because we only had one night. If you go to Shangri-La, it is recommended to stay for at least three days and slowly visit Cipudacuo National Park, Shika Snow Mountain, Dukezong Ancient City and Gardansongzanlin Temple. Shangri-La gives you more than just "The Disappeared Horizon" depicts it.

"Seven" complex return journey

Staying for one night in Shangri-La, the trip to northwest Yunnan on the 7th is also over. The journey back seemed to have become extremely complicated due to the final journey of Dukezong. We drove from Shangri-La to Lijiang Airport early in the morning, then flew from Lijiang to Changsha, and then transferred back to Quanzhou.

Northwest Yunnan has always been said to be the most popular tourist area in Yunnan. Dali, Lijiang, and Shangri-La, each city has its own unique ethnic customs, as well as its own unique natural landscapes. On the 7th, we couldn't see all the mountains and rivers there, and we couldn't slowly feel the customs and people. If you have enough time, it is recommended that such a trip be more than 10 days.

Write it at the back-various summaries

[About Accommodation]

In the same city, I like to stay in the same brand of accommodation.

In Dali, it is recommended to stay in Nanguo Boutique Inn and Canghai Suji, which are close to the ancient city. The Huanxi Garden B & B in Xizhou Ancient Town is also very recommended. If you want to live in a double corridor and enjoy a first-line sea view, this year's newly renovated Lanting Courtyard is also recommended.

In Lijiang, Aruo Kangba in Shuhe Ancient Town and Hu Si Nian Year in Lijiang Ancient Town are also very good.

Shangri-La's Arrokamba and Salou Yihe also give people two completely different experiences.

These B & Bs can be found on almost all mainstream OTA platforms and B & B booking platforms. Of course, there are thousands of B & Bs in Yunnan, and your choice will definitely dazzle you.

[About Food]

Dali: Xizhou Baba and Ersi must be tried. Gongzi Duan, Jinshan Centenary Ancient Courtyard Restaurant, and Jinhua Little Amei are also good restaurants in the ancient city.

Lijiang: In the ancient city, Dianyuan Private Kitchen and Prince of Western Yunnan are restaurants that will not step into a trap.

Shangri-La: You can go and check out the stone Tibetan meal quietly

[About Fees]

Prices in Dali, Lijiang and Shangri-La are not expensive, especially Dali is very popular. There were no tickets for the points I visited on my trip, so we didn't spend any money on tickets. Transportation in the three places is mainly self-driving, and large transportation is not expensive this year. Especially in Yunnan, where flights from Hainan Airlines and China Eastern Airlines have almost achieved coverage. In general, for a 7-day trip plus the round-trip transportation cost, a person's consumption will probably be between 6,000 and 8,000.

[Precautions]

The altitude in northwest Yunnan is relatively high. Dali is around 1800, and Shangri-La's altitude exceeds 3500. Therefore, when you take this route, you must take precautions and replenish moisture. You should also pay attention to Gao Fan's situation when you go to Shangri-La.

In addition, Yunnan is a major province with mixed ethnic minorities. When traveling to Yunnan, we must pay attention to respecting the customs and beliefs of the local people, especially in Shangri-La.
