Year after year, day after day, walking between work and family... There was a moment when I suddenly wanted to take a trip that was just as I wanted to go and put all my anxieties, troubles, responsibilities, etc., put behind me for a while. At this time, the official account recommended a super classic trip-Yunnan Classic Tour.

I placed the order without much thought.

A colleague asked me: Is it so cheap? Dare to go?

I smiled: Why don't you dare? Can you sell me out?

Okay! I admit that China's tourism industry once had some chaos, such as compulsory shopping, but isn't it becoming more and more standardized now?

So, on Teacher's Day, I embarked on a trip to Yunnan alone, as it is known, let go of myself.

Day 1

At around 11 pm on September 10, the flight arrived in Kunming. The full-time pick-up staff picked up the plane with flowers and assisted in delivering them to the hotel. They also informed us that the tour guide would pick us up at 8 a.m. the next morning.

Day 2

In the morning, in the hotel lobby, I met the first tour guide of the trip: Li Yang, a boy born in the 1980s.

At the time of the gathering, the tour guide distributed a customized Yunnan tourism gift package: two flower cakes, a small bottle of essential oil, a pack of wet wipes, a small bag of fruit cakes and a U-shaped pillow (I had a little surprise and surprise). At the same time, he told us that mineral water was on the car and could be used by yourself if needed.

On the way to the scenic spot, the tour guide began his speech. First of all, he revealed the secret of picking up the plane with flowers. First, Yunnan's tourism industry requires it; second, Yunnan is rich in flowers.

Next, he emphasized the discipline of the travel team. First, we must have a sense of time. Second, this is a shopping group, not a pure toy group. However, there is absolutely no compulsory consumption. Moreover, all products are quality guaranteed. If you find a fake product, you can directly call to complain, and once verified, you will be compensated twice.

After an hour and a half, we arrived at the first stop of the trip: Naigu Stone Forest.

"Naigu", Yi language means "ancient black". The rocks in the scenic spot are mainly dolomite limestone dating back to 270 million years ago, and the overall color is gray black. Its stone pillars are tall and dense, mostly cast-shaped, pagoda-shaped, or mushroom-shaped. The tallest stone pillar is more than 40 meters long. It is simple, rough, majestic, and forms an array of strange stones, as vast as a forest. It is famous for its lush style.

Climbing to the summit, you can have a full view of a sea of black stones, which is magnificent. Walking through the forest, you can feel the wild atmosphere. At this moment, you have to marvel at the incredible craftsmanship of nature.

After lunch, it took another hour and a half to drive, and we arrived at the Dianchi Scenic Area.

Dianchi Lake, China's national tourist resort, is the largest plateau lake in Yunnan Province, with beautiful scenery along both sides of the lake. There are Yunnan Ethnic Village, Yunnan Ethnic Museum, etc. Around it, one of the activities that I have to talk about when coming to Dianchi Lake is feeding seagulls. Every winter, migratory birds from Siberia-red-billed seagulls come to Dianchi Lake for the winter with the changes of seasons. They come every year in November and leave in March of the following year to return to Siberia.

Obviously, I came at an inappropriate time and lacked a lot of fun.

The tour guide told us that if you come in winter, thousands of seagulls will follow you and surround you for a small piece of bread. By then, the photos will be very beautiful, but there will be a small price to pay-after the seagull flies away, you will be covered in bird droop (the picture is so beautiful that I can't imagine).

Day 3

After breakfast, depart at 7:30 a.m. After about three hours 'drive, we arrived at the ancient city of Dali.

First visit Dali Ancient City and Foreign Street.

I have always had a soft spot for Dali. Because, in those beautiful green years, Jin Yong's martial arts novels were my favorites, and Jianghu was a dream in my heart. Now that we have come to the location of Dali Kingdom, how can we not climb the gate of the ancient city, visit the lively markets, touch the gray stone walls, taste the unique food, and taste the unique flavor of the ancient city of Dali?

The last stop of today's itinerary: JEEP car tour of Erhai Lake. Four people in a jeep will take you into the beautiful Erhai Lake... While enjoying the beautiful scenery of the Erhai Lake, full-time photographers will choose an Internet celebrity check-in place to take Internet celebrity photos for you and leave happy memories of your journey.

Day 4

Because I had to rush from Dali to Lijiang, I left relatively early during the entire journey: 7 o'clock.

When leaving Dali and heading to Lijiang, the tour guide changed to Lijiang's local escort.

In the afternoon, first of all, we watched the large-scale live performance "Impression of Lijiang" directed by Zhang Yimou in the embrace of a snowy mountain at an altitude of 3100 meters. The theater was surrounded by alpine meadows and white clouds, bringing the audience to the pure and beautiful reality of the unity of man and man on the snowy plateau. Even if you can't understand anything, you can still be shocked by the grandeur of the scene.

After enjoying the live performance, we were lucky enough to take the glacier cableway to climb the 4680-meter Yulong Snow Mountain. Some people say that visiting the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain is a test of character. Some people have come three times but can't get on the big cableway.

After coming down from the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, I basically ended today's trip in the Blue Moon Valley.

What is Blue Moon Valley? It is a pool of blue water in a crescent-shaped valley with the misty and misty Yulong Snow Mountain as the background. It is also said that the image of the moon reflected in the blue lake against the blue sky is similar to the Blue Moon Valley in British writer Hilton's "The Lost Horizon", hence the name "Blue Moon Valley".

After dinner, everyone freely visited the ancient city of Lijiang.

As a world historical and cultural heritage and a national 5A-level tourist attraction, if you want to visit all the attractions of the ancient city, eat all the delicious food of the ancient city, and have a romantic encounter again, then you must stay in the ancient city for at least three days and three nights. As for me, I can only stroll on the streets of the ancient city and enjoy the night view...

After bidding farewell to the ancient city of Lijiang, there were no more attractions on the itinerary, and the trip basically ended.

Tourism has six major elements: food, accommodation, transportation, travel, shopping and entertainment. Now I will review this trip from these six aspects--

1. eat

All group meals are basically ten dishes and one soup, including meat and vegetables, chicken, duck and fish, plus fruits; only the next day in Chuxiong, you enjoy Chuxiong Mushroom Hot Pot, a Yunnan specialty.

As long as you are not very picky about your taste,"picky eaters" who don't eat this and that can definitely eat enough. By the way, maybe he was worried that some people would not be used to eating it, but on the first day, the tour guide also handed out pickled mustard (suddenly I felt so considerate, wasn't there?) According to the itinerary, meals were not included on the fourth night. However, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, the tour guide not only applied for a group meal for us, but also delivered mooncakes made by her grandma (another small surprise).

2. live

The first day, Kunming, Quanji Hotel (Yunda West Road Branch).

The next day, Xiongbao Hotel, Chuxiong's first five-star hotel.

On the third day, Dali, Yifang Boutique Hotel.

The fourth day, Lijiang, Lijiang Huasheng Hotel.

Day five, Kunming, Plateau Pearl Hotel.

3. row

From the small car to pick up and drop off the plane to the tourist bus during the trip, the housekeeper arranged it in an orderly manner, achieving seamless connection.

4. tour

During the entire trip, the ride time was relatively long and boring, but there was no way to do anything about it. During the trip, we changed three tour guides before and after.

First, Li Yang, who studied finance at Yunnan University, became a tour guide by accident. He is more talkative, has good expression skills, has a rich knowledge reserve, and is better at grasping the psychology of tourists.

I have always despised the profession of tour guide: 365 days a year, day after day, facing the same scenic spots and repeating the same words, my soul gradually tired, my wisdom no longer exists, my personality has disappeared, what is the meaning of life? How does the value of life reflect? But relying on his pretty appearance, he was just betraying his youth.

However, his appearance imperceptibly refreshed my understanding. A successful tour guide not only depends on whether his image is handsome and his language is smooth, but also on his open-minded and attitude in dealing with others, and the confidence and charm exude from his every move. All of this indirectly infect him. People around him allow everyone to enjoy happiness.

The second one, Pu Pu, is a Naxi girl who has more regional and ethnic characteristics and is very enthusiastic.

The third one, Xiao Xiao, a young girl born in the 1990s, studied jade in college and was responsible for bringing us back from Lijiang to Kunming. I have a little doubt whether college students in Yunnan have been caught as tour guides, no matter what their majors are?

It's a long journey, how to kill time? It's okay when the tour guide explains customs and customs, popularizes jade knowledge, or even simply shares his life experience and life insights with you. However, what should we do when the tour guide doesn't talk and lets you rest and you can't sleep?

You can continue to lower your head and play with your mobile phone, but I still suggest you take a look at the scenery on the roadside-stay away from the hustle and bustle of the city, forget the trivial matters of life, and look at the walking ink landscape paintings. It is also a different kind of experience. If you like words, your inspiration may pop out at any time; if you can draw, you may accidentally leave a beautiful landscape painting; if not, pick up your mobile phone and take two excellent pictures for your computer. Desktop background!

5. purchase

Before traveling, I was worried that the tour guide would force shopping; at the end of the trip, I sighed, impulse was the devil. The little housekeeper asked me if the tour guide had forced shopping, and I replied directly: Shopping was because I was not firm and couldn't withstand the temptation. Working hard to make money is the king way.

When it comes to tourism, most people turn pale when talking about shopping. During the trip, I heard that some tour guides would not let you leave the shopping spot if you didn't shop. Not bad! I have always been lucky not to meet that kind of guide. Travel is an experience, and shopping depends on your mood. Of course, if there is a tour guide who is simple and rude and forced to shop, please be happy to buy and buy without making a fuss, and then report it until he regrets it. Because we live in a society governed by law.

The first tour guide who received us said that except for the price several times higher, the attractions, hotels and group meals in the so-called pure tour groups are exactly the same as shopping groups. Since the final consumption is the same, why not choose an affordable shopping group and use the extra money for shopping? If someone doesn't believe it and wants to verify it, they might as well go and experience it.

6. entertainment

Frankly speaking, Yunnan's tourism and entertainment aspects are not satisfactory. However, since you have chosen this itinerary, you are definitely here for Shilin, Dali Ancient City, Lijiang Ancient City, Erhai Lake and Yulong Snow Mountain, not for entertainment projects.

What's more, riding a large cableway to the Yulong Snow Mountain, you can see the blue sky when you look up, and you can see the snowy mountains surrounded by clouds and clouds at your feet. The feeling of riding on the clouds is definitely a different experience...

At the end of the trip, I returned to the reinforced concrete urban forest again. Looking at the high-rise buildings one after another, I instantly felt like I had returned to the world from the immortal realm...

If you want to experience this feeling, then go to Yunnan and experience it well. In Yunnan, a place with almost no industry, apart from blue skies, white clouds, green mountains and clear waters, all that remains is the wind, flowers, snow and moon...
