Travel principles: no self-abuse, no corruption. Focus on economy and freedom. Food and accommodation are simple, with youth travel, rice and snacks mainly.
About travel: Coincidentally, a trip to Yunnan has been planned for a long time and has been suffering from not having time to go on a trip that you want. Coincidentally, the company has stopped production this year and has taken annual leave in advance, so that you can start your dreams in advance. Okay, let's not talk much, let's start digging now.

This article focuses on strategies. The photos throughout the process are all mobile phones (12 million pixels), which cannot fully demonstrate the beauty of Yunnan and Sichuan. So if you have the opportunity, you must go once in your life.
D1: Train Jingmen to Kunming K2285, 26 hours from 04:05 to 6:30 the next day. Adding trains all day is a test for most people, but isn't it a scenery when trains go and go and people get off?
d2: Cuihu Park, Jianwu Hall, Yunnan University-three stars in recommendation index. tickets: no
Haigeng Park, Dianchi Lake-two-star recommendation index, tickets: none

The train arrived in Kunming early in the morning. I stored my luggage at the train station. After buying a train ticket to Dali at night, I boarded the bus to Cuihu Park.
The first time I saw Kunming, I felt inexplicably cordial. The breeze blew my face, the temperature was too suitable for living, and flowers were in full bloom everywhere in the city. I thought I wouldn't see red-billed gulls if I came early, but I didn't expect to see them in droves as soon as I arrived at Cuihu Park and get along harmoniously with the citizens. Beautiful.
Yunnan University is also very old, with shady trees and a strong cultural atmosphere.
The lecture hall is so-so.
In the afternoon, I took a bus to the legendary Dianchi Lake and Haigeng Park. The result was disappointing. The water quality was extremely poor, and environmental protection work needed to be strengthened. Therefore, if you plan to go to Dianchi Lake, you should consider carefully. Returning to Kunming Railway Station in the evening, I would like to complain here that the security guard at the railway station has a really bad attitude. The security work at Kunming Railway Station was very good. Since the train ticket purchased was opened at ten o'clock, and it was only around 7 o'clock at that time, it was impossible to enter the waiting hall through the automatic ticket gate (which reminded that it was not time to travel) and there were no seats in the ticket hall. I had no choice but to ask the security guard for help. The security guard had a very poor attitude and was very impatient. It is not difficult to understand that major events in previous years will occur in Kunming. As a result, I went through the manual ticket verification window and passed the exam smoothly.

d3: Dali
Dali Ancient City--Recommended Index 3 stars, no tickets
Songsheng Temple-Recommended index 4 stars, ticket 95
I came to Dali early in the morning. As soon as I got off the train, I was ready to take the No. 8 bus to the ancient city of Dali. However, I didn't expect there were too many tourists, so I had to take the bus to Songsheng Temple, which is not far from the ancient city of Dali. The original plan was to Cangshan in the morning, Songsheng Temple in the afternoon, and Dali Ancient City in the evening. Unexpectedly, it took two or three hours in the ancient city of Dali to find the youth travel service I booked online. There was no choice but to cancel it in Cangshan. Fortunately, with luck, Dali had its first snow of the year the night before, and it was beautiful. Songsheng Temple is quite big, with layers at a time. There are quite a lot of Buddhas in there, but I don't quite understand them. But it was still worth the trip. Also, I would like to recommend Gucheng's Baozhi tofu, which is quite delicious.

d4: Xizhou Ancient Town, Shuanglang, Haishue Park
Xizhou Ancient Town-Recommended index 4 stars, no tickets.
Double Corridor-Recommended Index 4 stars, No tickets
Haishue Park-Recommended index 3 stars, no tickets.
I took a bus to Xizhou early in the morning. There are two roads from the ancient city of Dali to Xizhou, starting from the north gate and south gate of the ancient city respectively. It is recommended to take the bus from the north gate to Eryuan and get off at Xizhou. Because there are relatively more cars at the north gate. As soon as I arrived in Xizhou, I rented an electric car to go to Shuanglang (80 yuan) and was cheated. The actual 50 will be fine. The places to rent electric vehicles in Xizhou are concentrated in the west of the ancient town. You can see more and shop around.
The Erhai Lake is very beautiful, and so are the double corridors. I think the most beautiful place is near Shangguan. There is no need to circle around Eryuan. The double corridors are building roads, so it is difficult to walk. I didn't go to Yuji Island either. It's a small pity. Then go back to Xizhou Ancient Town and go to Haisi Park, where the couple tree is located. Spend the night in Xizhou Ancient Town.
Talking about Xizhou Ancient Town, I think Xizhou Ancient Town is the most worthwhile ancient town during my trip to Yunnan. The town is not small, it is a living ancient town. People have lived there for generations. Very rural. So a 4-star recommendation.

d5 Shaxi Ancient Town-Recommendation Index 4 stars.
Shaxi Ancient Town personally thinks it is quite special. There are many ancient towns in Yunnan, and Shaxi has inconvenient transportation and is also very distinctive. Not bad!
Take the bus to Shangri-La in Xizhou and get off at Jianchuan, and then take the special bus to Shaxi at Jianchuan Bus Station. You can go back and forth in one day. Take a bus to Shuhe Ancient Town in Lijiang at night and stay overnight in Shuhe Ancient Town.

d6d7--Lugu Lake, recommended index of 5 stars. Tickets 100. Roundtrip fare 130. Tour registration 130
It is no exaggeration to say that Lugu Lake is the most beautiful lake I have ever seen.
My deepest understanding is that Lugu came back without looking at the lake. Lugu Lake is very big. It takes at least two days to visit Lugu Lake. It is recommended to visit it for a few more days. In addition, we especially recommend the apples from Lugu Lake. They are delicious, crisp and sweet, costing three yuan a pound.

d8-Tiger Leaping Gorge, Baishuitai Recommended Index 4 stars. Tickets for the Tiger Leaping Gorge are around 70. Baishuitai ticket 30.

I took a bus from Shuhe Ancient Town early in the morning to Tiger Leaping Gorge Town. The ticket was about 20. I arrived at Tiger Leaping Gorge Town at noon after passing through the winding road. Tiger Leaping Gorge is located between the Yulong Snow Mountain and the Haba Snow Mountain, with majestic scenery on both sides. The Tiger Leaping Gorge is divided into upper, middle, lower and lower sections. Currently, only the upper section is open, and the interruption and lower end are hiking paradise. If there is enough time, it is recommended that you need to pay about 20 yuan for people to go there. Baishuitai is just as beautiful in Sanba Township, Shangri-La. It is worth a visit and the entrance is not expensive. At night, I stay in a farmer in Sanba Township. It is a completely wooden house that is very distinctive.

d9--Shangri-La, Dukezong Ancient City Recommended Index 3 stars. I only wandered around Shangri-La this day. The ancient city of Dukezong is also an all-wood structure. It seems that it was destroyed by a fire not long ago and is now rebuilt. I drank the yogurt there. Shangri-La is a complete Tibetan area, with prayer wheels and prayer flags everywhere. The scenery inside Pulatuo is beautiful, but unfortunately I didn't make progress.

d10--Daocheng, Daocheng is a small county town with an altitude of 3900. I met several traveling friends on the bus. In the evening, the four of us had a hot pot buffet and drank a lot of wine, and there was always something to say. I came back at night and fell asleep. I was originally afraid of high rebellion, but in the end, I didn't feel anything. The first time I went to the plateau was still too crazy.

d11--Xindu Bridge. It is said that Xindu Bridge is a photographer's paradise. Unfortunately, when I went there a little late, all the boxwood trees had their leaves falling. Moreover, the most beautiful part of Xindu Bridge is on the road from Xindu Bridge to Tagong Town. Unfortunately I didn't see it. However, the rice soup next to Xinduqiao Middle School is very delicious. I would recommend it.

d12-Chengdu, Giant Panda Breeding Base Tickets Around 60, Recommended Index 4 stars. The Jinli recommendation index is 3 stars, and the Kuanzhai Alley recommendation index is 3 stars.

The Giant Panda Base recommends that there are many giant pandas inside and the transportation is convenient. Jinli and Kuanzhai Alley are quite crowded, each with its own characteristics.

d13-Chengdu, back to Jingmen. finished
